Tomorrow sees the release of Konami’s eighth entry into the Silent Hill series, Silent Hill: Downpour. For the past seven entries, fans have enjoyed the terrifying tones of Akira Yamaoka. However, the shock that everyone felt when it was announced that he would not be returning to compose this entry was felt far and wide. Upon the announcement that Dexter composer Daniel Licht was stepping in, there was a tentative sigh of release. After all, here was a man who had worked in horror for years, tackling Hellraiser, Children of the Corn, and many other beloved entries. But does the Silent Hill: Downpour OST do this series justice, especially after everything that Yamaoka has done?

I’ve made no attempt to hide my love of VNV Nation. As much as I’m a metal head, I love some good electronica, industrial, EBM, and dark wave. So when Automatic, the new VNV album, was announced, I immediately felt my ears perk and my focus shift. After all, I’ve been listening to this group for years, so a new album is always an exciting moment. But does Automatic hold up? Check after the jump for the answer.

Marilyn Manson has dubbed his upcoming album Born Villain. Considering that was the name of the song released yesterday, I don’t think many people are surprised by this. He also posted on his official website a short blurb detailing the work that he has done with actor Shia LaBeouf:

“‘Born Villain’ is the title of the new Marilyn Manson album. While looking to experiment in unlikely collaborations, I met Shia, and we spent a long night at my studio. After seeing ‘Maniac,’ his short film, which is somewhat inspired by ‘Man Bites Dog,’ I was astonished by his directing ability. So I shared quite a few of my favorite inspirations in art, literature, and obviously…film. I was impressed with how Shia digested my world, and made what I’d like to think, is both an homage and a mockery of the history of Cinema. We ended up writing a short film, and just recently released a trailer. The score is from my new album, and is, in the words of Macbeth, ‘full of sound and fury.’

I find the idea of a yawning MGM lion far more interesting than a roaring one.

You ask why we did this?

‘No reason.’”

I don’t know about you guys but I’m a huge Static-X fan. They’ve been pretty damn consistent in sound and releases and their music is always a lot of fun. Plus, if you’re a horror fan in the slightest, it’s pretty much guaranteed that you’ve heard their music in at least two or three films. I mean, let’s look at a few of the bigs ones: Bride of Chucky, Scream 3, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (remake), Saw III, and more. If you haven’t seen these movies, then what are you doing on this site? Shame on you!

Coming back to the story, Static-X frontman Wayne Static is releasing his first solo album, Pighammer, on October 4th. There is a teaser video after the jump that is definitely tailored to horror fans, so make sure to check it out!

Speaking of awesome bands on horror movie soundtracks, what are some of your favorite appearances?

Seriously, did you really think we’d leave out Chibi’s Top 10 list? No way! I saved this one for last because her list features some of my absolute favorites, such as Session 9 (what a brilliant movie!).

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Rainbow, Rhim, Nate Manor, Owen, Falcore, and Chibi for putting together these amazing lists! You all rock!

I’m a big fan of The Birthday Massacre, just getting that out there. With their shameless use of synths, infectious songs and, pardon my chauvinism, a smoking hot singer, what is there to dislike about this band? Well, they have an EP about to come out called Imaginary Monsters (review here) and to hype up the release, BD Music is thrilled to announce not one, not two but five days of The Birthday Massacre Top 10 lists!

Electronic duo Twitch The Ripper (Bodiless review here) will be hitting the road this fall on The Triptych Tour, which features Imperative Reaction, God Module, and System Syn. Having seen these guys on the Thrill Kill Kult tour, I highly recommend that you go and check them out! Once on stage, they seem to enter a trance where the music and the performance is everything. It’s something that I rarely see and I enjoyed every minute of their set. You can check out the full touring schedule at their official website.

Starting August 3rd, KMFDM will be hitting the road with Army Of The Universe (who will be joined by Chris Vrenna (Nine Inch Nails/Marilyn Manson) on select tour dates), 16Volt, and Human Factors Lab. Check after the jump for full tour dates.

One of the first video interviews I conducted for Bloody-Disgusting was VNV Nation at the Necto in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Having already been a fan for years, I was beyond excited to finally meet Ronan Harris and have a chat with him. So, hearing that there is a new album coming out this fall is like having Barry White sex my ears up with his velvety voice. I’m already getting all warm and gooey inside thinking of all the good times I can have with this album. Hell, I remember getting lucky to some VNV tracks once! Don’t believe me? Neither did she, but that’s because she kept asking, “Is it in yet?” Look, it’s not the size of the boat, it’s the motion of the ocean, okay? I’m gonna go cry now…

I like to go out to the local industrial/goth club every once in a while. I’m not much of a dancer, but the music is great, the drinks are cheap and the company is awesome. It’s also how I heard about a band such as Angelspit. The Combichrist 110% remix is awesome and you should see the dance club move when that track comes on. Well, Angelspit has a new album out called Carbon Beauty and they recently released a video for the track Toxic Girl. After the jump, you can check out the uncensored, totally NSFW version, which features anime porn, bare breasts, sex dolls, suicides and more.
