Otto's Daughter - A New Kind Of Heroine

Spicy industrial metal with sexy female vocals - how can you go wrong? You can't, and Otto's Daughter has done it again with their latest release entitled "A New Kind of Heroine". JVB has long since been a favorite vocalist, and her presence on this album is on par with the band's previous works and stands strong with the powerful tracks the band has once again created.

Featuring tracks such as "Kiss My Ass" and "Fucking You Back", this album is full of the songs perfectly honed over a few years of live performances, finally giving the fans what they've patiently been waiting for. The album is a perfect blend of angst, passion, and "what the hell?" attitude.

Suggested Tracks:
"Fucking You Back"
"Everything"
"The Truth"
"Kiss My Ass"

Collide - Two Headed Monster

Always a mainstay in the trip-hop industrial scene, Collide is back with yet another beautifully compiled full-length album. Featuring some of the band's best work to date, "Two Headed Monster" offers some of their most intricately written songs, while still maintaining that classic Collide sound.

The strength of this release is the band's ability to maintain those elements of their music that the fans have come to love over the years, without falling into boredom. Though many of the tracks utilize a bit more of an industrial rock feel than the band's previous work, the songs still maintain the trademark unmistakable hypnotism of kaRIN's vocals.

The only possible slight downfall of this album is that there is no real 'standout' track or tracks that could be picked out as an instant single or club hit, unlike the band's previous releases. So while this album may not find an easy place on the radio or the dance floor, it still comes with the highest recommendations for a good sit-down listen.

Suggested Tracks:
"Tongue Tied & Twisted"
"Silently Creeping"
"Two Headed Moster"
