I've recently released Black Cosmic Circle, the first single from my upcoming album Death Disc.

It's a high-energy EBM/industrial track built around driving grooves, spoken vocals, distorted screams and bright synths.

I was curious what people here think of the EBM side of it, particularly the balance between the darker industrial elements and the more melodic synth work.

Hello, looking for suggestions or thoughts on a good first little drum kit for a 2 year old toddler. He has a little wooden toy drum set that he plays on the floor but I want to get him something a little better, but still appropriate for his age and size. He loves drumming, air drums all the time, so I just want to get him something he can explore and have fun with. I'm not expecting him to play beats or anything yet, but want something a little more substantial.

I think Mendini are a bit too big right now, was thinking about First Act or those Jazzdrums ones. I know quality won't be the best regardless of what I get, but any suggestions or thoughts would be much appreciated. Cheers!

I'm looking for a ride cymbal that has a good strong bell, a nice wash when you lay into it and a dark (but not too dark) ringing shimmering trail with some stick definition when you ride it.

I had a Sabian Metal-X 20" and I liked it but want something better. I tried an A Custom 21" Sweet Ride and I like the shimmer but the bell is weak and the tone is a little too in the middle, want something a bit darker.

I play experimental sludge/doom so there are dynamics. It's mostly loud and heavy but there are mellow and ambient parts as well.

Hello, I'm a fairly new artist, just completed a record and I'm looking for small to mid size labels to submit it to. Anyone know some labels that put out EBM or dark experimental electronic music? Just looking for some recommendations. Thanks for your time.

Looking for generally accurate studio speakers with solid bass response. I make a mix of electronic, industrial, alternative rock. I haven't treated my studio at all yet, and it is small roughly 11 ft by 13 ft. Any and all suggestions would be helpful.

I know there's an infamously bad pressing of Paegan Terrorism tactics on vinyl. The new represses are supposed to sound way better. I was going to grab it off of Rotten Records but how can I tell it's the good sounding version? Anyone know or have experience with this?

Thank you.

I am trying to cook some grass fed ground beef. No sauce or vegetables, just straight beef. Every time i cook it though it comes out tough and chewy and it's driving me nuts. I always let it rest and come to room temp, I get the pan pretty hot, I've done it with and without oil, I've tried breaking it up at different points and it just keeps coming out tough.

Please, can someone help this terrible cook find the path to tender ground beef. Please give me your steps, tips, anything!

Currently have a brilliant 18" AAX crash, 19" Metal X crash and a 20" Metal X ride. When I recorded the producer ended up not digging the Metal X crashes said they didn't cut well enough, or maybe he didn't dig the tone, but he dug the AAX crash. We ended up renting a 21" K Custom Dark Ride and 19" K Custom Crash. I liked them both but didn't think the bell on the ride cut enough for what I do, but the actual cymbal sounded great. The crash I like to ride on sometimes and I felt like the K Custom wasn't right for me in that respect, but as a crash sounded good and it worked on the record, but live I wasn't sure.

I ended up buying an 21" A Custom Sweet Ride and it just doesn't cut through t
