Das Bunker Presents: False Face Tour 2014 Part 1




God Module is hitting the road in support of their new album "False Face" this year. Supported by The Witch Was Right and Mordacious, the trio will stomp across america in a two part tour. Part one (western US) will also hold Chamber of Echoes and Product as support. Die Sektor joins as support for the second leg of the tour.

I personally have seen God Module live (once) and it was badass! I was at the Fonda in Hollywood when they were added as support for Combichrist. I became a true fan after seeing the band live. I have followed members of the group online (facebook, Instagram, and twitter ever since) You can get a good sense of Jasyn Bangert's musical influence by the artists he supports and talks about. God Module's horror sounding dark/electro style industrial seems to branch from many different genres and eras. My ears always open up when a good horror/chiller based song is played, and God Module sure does deliver on that!



This spring also holds the release of the new God Module album, False Face. There is a sneak peak of the track, "Destroy the Day" over at Bloodydisgusting.com. The track is a very good indication of what is to come on this album. Very dark, but move-able tracks. I like the seance type sounds of synths being played in God Module's music.




As for the supporting bands, I have yet to see any of them live. I have listened to a lot of The Witch Was Right, I do follow a lot of the members on social media as well. Lead Singer and founding member Trevor Friedrich, was a former member of Combichrist. He got together with a group of musically inclined friends, Abby Nex (guitar) Brandon Richter (drums) and Bobby Schubenski (bass) to create a rock and industrial mixed sound. From what I have heard, I do like the sound of the band. I hope I can make this round of the tour to be able to catch them live. 

The goal for myself is to catch the tour at the Complex show in L.A. there is a second show in San Diego that is also an option but LA is closer to home. It will be like Halloween at the end of winter!

All Cities Destroyed - Aesthetic Perfection is hitting the US again!

Aesthetic Perfection is traveling the US early this summer. All Cities Destroyed has been announced, and is bringing along [X]-RX for the ride.

Daniel Graves, Tim Van Horn, and Tom Napack are sure to bring the best, of the albums; "Close to Human", "A Violent Emotion", and the recently released "All Beauty Destroyed", to industrial clubs all over the US.

If you like EBM that makes you move, be sure to check out their show! Daniel Graves is great at holding the crowds energy level to a max. He is able to fill the set with excitement and energy. Let alone the great music this band performs, it is destined to be a fun filled night with Aesthetic perfection.

I have had the opportunity to see Aesthetic perfection twice, once opening for Combichrist, and second as headliners with Faderhead opening. Both shows were awesome. I tell everyone, the shows were just so much fun. Great crowd, great set, great sound, just all around perfect.


The tour will hit Los Angeles' infamous Das Bunker on June 22 @The Catch One. The video above is Daniel graves opening up the set with "A Nice place to visit" at the sold out Das Bunker.


This was Aesthetic Perfection performing "living the wasted life" at the Fonda in Hollywood back in 2010. This was my first AP performance, and I was in AWE. When you go to see a band live, you expect to have a little bit of the music lost because of the "live performance" aspect, but nothing is lost
with Aesthetic. the performance is just as good, if not better, than listening to their music with my skull candies sucked into my ears... This video also shows how into the show the crowd is. STOMPing and dancing all over. The vibe is great.

Aesthetic Perfection's website or Das Bunker's Website for ticket information.

TripTych Tour featuring Imperative Reaction / God Module / System Syn



This summer the industrial / ebm / dark noise fans will rejoice in the new album releases from Imperative Reaction (Imperative Reaction 09/2011), God Module (Seance 09/2011), and System Syn (All Seasons Pass 10/2011)!

Each band has been leaking samples and singles from the album. I have yet to hear a song that I didn't instantly consider a hit! I am usually not a fan of remixes, but there are some damn good ones being released. Imperative Reaction has released 4 versions of their first single, Surface. (I am listening to them as I write this blog) 


If you find all of these bands on Facebook, you can click on their bandpage tab and preview some of the tracks, or even watch the Surface music video.On their Facebook page, you can also find the links to purchase the albums. All three bands are releasing their CDs with special limited edition box sets. God Module is releasing Seance with a specially created Ouija boards. All three bands have also loaded the limited edition boxes with lots of special add-ons. Posters, buttons, stickers,  postcards, books, wristbands, and special limited box set only T-shirts!

When a band releases a CD, I  can only think of one thing.... When will they tour??? I have never seen System Syn or Imperative Reaction perform, and now I can finally get that chance! The Triptych tour was just announced, and all three bands are on the bill. This tour will end its US rounds in LA, at the wonderful Das Bunker, on Halloween weekend!! Although System Syn will not be performing on this date, I can't imagine a better way to start the best holiday of the year :-D

Clint Carney and I April 2011 at Das Bunker
This is going to be an interesting set of bands performing...Clint Carney is a member of all 3 bands!Adam Vex is also going to be doing double stage duty, as a member of both Imperative Reaction and System Syn. Both Adam and Clint have messaged me on Facebook, and confirmed performing with each group.

Tickets are on sale for the Das Bunker show in L.A. I would not sit on this... We should be buying tickets in the near future. (the last show we went to at Das Bunker sold out...)

Recently announced, you can purchase VIP package tickets for all shows, including the LA show at Das Bunker. Ticket will include VIP meet and greet, Limited Edition Shirt, show Laminate and a few other goodies. VIP tickets are extremely limited (only 20 per show) so get yours soon!

**Announced today, DJ Joe Letz of Combichrist will be joining the tour, after the Gothic cruise as a special guest DJ between sets. Joe will also be hosting the VIP meet and greets **

To pre-order singles and albums, go to the bands web page. I have provided a link to all three...

Monsters on Tour: US part 2


Combichrist have announced Monsters On Tour: US part 2! Dates will run from May 2nd thu June 4th.

Combichrist will be the supporting act for all upcoming US Rammstein shows. During their off days with Rammstein, they will host their own headlining shows. (No Days off for the wicked...)

Combichrist puts on a great live show. They put 100% effort into their entire set. The mixture of fan favorites and new songs works well for the crowd energy. No time was wasted in their set, every second had great industrial/ebm beats pulsing through the crowd :-)


iVardensphere Nov 2010
iVardensphere and Star killer will open the shows for Combichrist. (except for in Santa Ana, iVardensphere will be at the Kinetic Festival) I asked Scott Fox of iVardensphere what the band lineup would be for the upcoming tour, he informed me that himself and Yann would be performing together. When I saw iVardensphere, Nov. 2010, they utilized Taiko drummers to heighten the EBM sounds being produced. Chris Lacroix will not be touring with them on this round, but I was informed that he would be returning to the group for the Kinetic Festival. Scott is nursing a recent hand injury, so tribal drumming from him is kind of out of the equation for him. Scott wants to focus on the crunchy, electronic sounds of iVardensphere on this tour.

Being offered at the Combichrist headlining shows are V.F.I.M. (Very Fucking Important Monster) tickets. Each ticket ($75) includes: your ticket into the venue,early entry into the venue, a V.F.I.M. Laminate, t-shirt, signed poster, and special meet and greet with Combichrist. Limited to 25 per show.

I was able to snag tickets to the May 20th Rammstein / Combichrist show at the Great Western Forum in Inglewood California :-) I'm not sure if I will be able to make the Santa Ana show, but I will definitely try!
