]]>Dystopiate is a solo project of Cody Maillet from Boston that also doubles as a live act. Here’s a little live clip taken by yours truly
The word “fierce” doesn’t even begin to describe Dystopiate both live and on record. Same applies to Cody’s now dormant project Cryostasium. But I digress…lets what others have to say about his work/releases that we put out!
Infiltrator
A short, sharp shock of noise. Lovely stuff – Russ Cox
This is amazing. Full on, Kool-aid man bursting through the wall level of intensity. Fantastic single and super amped to hear what they have in the future. Favorite track: Medihaze – acaDamien
Zero fucks given, zero prisoners taken. What’s not to love? – Nic Brown
Right out of the gate, this is in your face, and brutal. These 3 tracks get harsher from one to the next, and are incredible. Favorite track: Infiltrator – henrikmodular
Filth Film
D-beat bullet train blitzing through the smouldering shitegeist landscape. Snowpiercer sans protagonist, until a reflected window glimpse reveals it is all of us at once – Ryan Wesener
US Crust / Black Metal / Industrial Punk. Agree with all the praise here & Nic Brown put it best with “murderously good”… 
The titles are very intriguing & I would love to have some lyrics please… 
This is definitely a modern take on the entire Punk genre! Recommended! Favorite track: Atrophy – bmurator
Searing, relentless blackened crusty d-beat with a noise rock influence. Lots of interesting and off-kilter ideas happening in the guitars (love the weird arpeggios), rhythm section like a runaway train, vocalist who sounds like he’s screaming to be heard, excellently raw production with a well balanced mix. why even hesitate? Favorite track: You’re Next – Gaffne Rostow
Raw as hell and constantly going off the rails. Solid rager. Favorite track: Fulcrum – Eric Lay
This is a modern black metal classic. This is pure mayhem. Congratulations, U made it. Favorite track: Burn – D3la.HOZ
Less an album, more a punishment beating. Murderously good – Nic Brown
Plus some nice features on Dystopiate courtesy of No Echo and Idioteq! Last, but not least – trailer for Filth Film (NSFW)

]]>Robert Turman – Andromeda FLX-260 / chill new release from cryptic drone/postindustrial elder Robert Turman – JPB
Emmaleen Tangleweed – The Weaving (Cruel Nature) / Recorded in September 2025 in a log cabin in Swartvlei (“black lake”), Western Cape, South Africa. Emmaleen Tangleweed’s new album is a collection of gothic folk and blues ballads tinged with hypnotic magic realism. Bare‑boned, acoustic arrangements feature banjo, various guitars, and cello performed by Lliezel Ellick.
On Our Own Clock – S/T (Mushroom Hour Half Hour) (h/t Dillon)
Dave Heumann – Chimes of Freedom // Further Adventures of Big Ten / The first is apt & poignant as ever and beautifully rendered. The latter spins us out into orbit, riding a familiar riff in 10… – J.M. Hart
El Universo – S/T / This rips – Dillon
Carla Dal Forno – Confession / Recently been enjoying this album, released in late April, that charts a course through dub and post-punk influences but in a quiet, rainy-day-pop context. It’s intimate and introverted – Listening Habit
Fenne Lily – Win Win (h/t Ezra Brooks)
Listening Recommendations
SML – Small Medium Large / While waiting for the new one to arrive, revisiting this fabulous debut. Live improvisations edited and rearranged at home. Like if Can were a jazz band – Anthony Gregory
Boxcutter – Oneiric (h/t Brandon Invergo)
Huerco S. – Plonk (h/t Acep Hale)
Reading Recommendations
Robert Swindells – Ice Palace / Was on a work call earlier and this book fell off the shelf above my computer and landed in my lap. It’s a first edition of the first book I chose myself, from a school book club thing when I was five (that copy I still have!) – Unspun Heroes

]]>It starts with a drone that never really ends. The world storms around it. It pulls you under.
A feeling before a thought. Something passing just beyond sight. You catch it for a second and it’s gone. Like you’ve seen through something you weren’t meant to.
This one’s for the saints, salesmen, and all the clean-handed folk with answers. They hold up their cure and the bottle is empty. Once you see through it, you don’t get to unsee it.
Hand drums and the bronze of a 12 string Yamaha carry it forward, steady and unbroken. It moves slow, into a haze, then slips loose as backwards guitars bend out of shape.
A little mercy. A woman smiling and the whole rotten circus going quiet for a minute. Nothing holy, yet holy all the same.
There was something in the rye. A little rot. We ate the bread and saw angels crawling through the walls. Whole towns went strange. Now it comes through the screen and we eat it still. Different grain. Same fever.
The Bloody Feet of Atomic Beasts
We split the atom and wrapped the world in plastic. Every bright idea leaves something bleeding in the dark.
Saturn turns slow out there, older than our trouble and not much moved by it. We are small on a small rock, making noise, making love, making ruin. The sky watches without blinking. The stone goes on without us.
Thunder woke me and then went on down the road. I stayed there in the dark with the rain at the glass. Then I picked up the guitar.
I wrote this one six times and it still came out crooked. Maybe that was the point. A man looking back at his own damage and not much liking the view. Then there’s the woman who stayed.
The signs are all there if you want them. They’ve always been there. The sky darkens. The figures stir. You wait for something to break. But it never does. At least not the way you think.
