Flying out of the gate at full throttle, this track won’t even give you a second before it hits you with everything it has! ALostCarolean as been drip feeding their darksynth EP “The Hive” over the past couple months and The Last Survivor is no slouch of a song. Nailing the retro feel, high octane energy, and dark atmosphere of the genre this track has everything from icy pads to metal-esque saw chords and all the sounds you love to hear in a high speed cyberpunk genre! Definitely give this a listen if you’re just finding out about it now as well as the other two tracks in the playlist.
Industrial
ALostCarolean – Invasion | Darksynth
As the sirens, the first shots, and the first stones crumble and collapse, the Invasion begins. And so, begins ALostCarolean’s track, bringing us a massive darksynth song! I like the contrast of this song, something grimdark is happening. but throughout the melody you hear both hope and determination, to make things right. Such is the tragedy of war, I suppose. The flow of this tune is really smooth where it needs to be, and so it is regarding the intensity. There’s even a nice bit of guitar work in this! So You WILL, absolutely go hard on this. I am happy this track got to invade my speakers and got my attention!
ALostCarolean – The Queen of The Hive | Darkwave
Nightmare Night may be over, but we can keep the theme dark if we want! This latest offering from ALostCarolean takes some 80s-inspired synthwave sounds and combines it with heavily distorted and driving bass to create this imposing theme for Chryssy. But it’s not just another Changeling-themed song we’ve got here, but also the promise of an entire EP dedicated to the shapeshifters coming in about a month’s time! If you like this sort of thing, keep an eye on ALC’s YouTube channel for more…

Changelings, evil creatures feeding off emotions of others; morphed from birth, to deceive and hide in plain sight. And ALostCarolean, Swedish music producer debuting with the industrial horror sound of Darksynth, an unexpected subgenre in the fandom. The arpeggio synth approaches from the distance and hulking drums leap directly onto your face with a thick, heavily distorted bass line while dark synthwave melodies fly in the atmosphere and electronic metal rhythms escalates the energy. If you love the type of dark clubbing themes, you’ll feed on the darkness of this tune.
One Track Mind – Love & Tolerate | Electro-industrial
“Love and tolerate, without tolerating intolerance” has pretty much become my life motto at this point, and I’m happy that One Track Mind returned with a very cool track titled after the famous brony motto! It’s part of a new EP titled “Ends”! The cover art was drawn by Iron Curtain!
StableTwoStallion – Maud | Industrial Metal
There’s no questions StableTwoStallion is the reigning king of the industrial sound, having released several tracks in the genre last year. Sung in German, this dark, heavy track is about the working live and personality of the titular Maud Pie. The guitars are tuned down and carry a dirty, distortion while the drum snare and kick hit hard to emphasize the powerful nature of the track.
StableTwoStallion – Ewige Nacht | Industrial Gothic Metal
In the spirit of Nightmare Night, StableTwoStallions brings us this heavy, industrial track to really set the tone of the holiday. The drums hit hard, especially the kick. The guitars are loud and fuzzy which creates a disorienting feeling for the listener as the vocalist sings about the terror of the Eternal Night. The whole song has an overbearing sensation which perfect for the theme!
Neu KatalYst – C R A Y O N S | EBM
Fandom veteran Neu KatalYst produced a song for Pinkamena Party’s latest album: FLUTTERSHY’S PARADOXICALLY SOFT HARDCORE TEA PARTY. This track is impressive, especially considering it is their first published in this genre. Sections featuring headbang-inducing drums and a heavy bassline are linked together by glitchy transitions. On top of that are vocals about the power of creation given by crayons with a particularly catchy chorus.
StableTwoStallion – Alles Gehört Mir | Industrial Metal
Cozy Glow song! This epic track is made up of heavy industrial metal, with classic industrial guitar, drums, and of course, the deep and hard-hitting vocals. With this track, the lyrics are in German, and it’s inspired by the likes of Rammstein and Eisbrecher, to give you another idea of the music style! Overall, this is a really good track if you like industrial and heavy stuff!
