"Blood Lush" by Anders Manga out now!

While it technically came out yesterday, it's overall color scheme seems quite apropos considering today is Valentine's Day. Blood Lush is the fourth studio album by North Carolina's premiere 'gothtronic' act, Anders Manga. Four albums in two years is quite a feat, especially consdering his work is gowing with leaps and bounds come every release. With Europe already getting clued in to his skills, not to mention a tour of the U.S. about to launch, this would be a good time to acquaint yourself with his 'Numanesque, goth meets futurepop' sound.

No Goth-Industrial Blogs?

As has been pointed out to me by a handful of folks, there is a significant lack of gothic-industrial music blogs. In fact, if one googles 'goth music blog' or 'industrial music blog', you get nothing much resembling either one.

Since I work for a couple of 'scene' publications (Side-Line and Virus! Magazine), and I tend to prattle on about music news semi-daily, this seems like a good place to cut and paste my usual observations, tips, and such for those who prefer blogs and RSS over reading publications or surfing a slew of news and label sites...not to mention Myspace accounts and such.

So, please - feel free to spread word, and I'll see if I can make this a regular habit as opposed to a passing fancy.
