Angie Maddox of Syrenn in the hospital

By rachel.haywire | Published: 07/06/2010

It’s a sad day when one of our recording artists ends up having an accident in the middle of working on her new album. Angie Maddox of Syrenn was recently taken to the hospital and is currently in debilitating physical pain.

We all hope for her to get better soon. Please send her your best wishes.

Here is a recent review of The Kill House EP that she got from Necromag.

Sexy swirling beats. The Philadelphia industrial act Syrenn lives up perfectly to their name. While holding on to all the cyber-punk discordance people expect from the genre Angie Maddox’s vocals slither through the 4 track E.P. The Kill House promises an electronic act that is not too awash in its own sound to keep them typecast. Syrenn reminds me of The Birthday Massacre without its 80′s bubblegum touches. Undoubtedly musical and coarse in equal measure.

You can check out the full review (and a personal interview with Angie) here: http://www.necromag.co.uk/2010/07/04/syrenn-the-kill-house-ep/

By rachel.haywire | Published: 06/17/2010

For this past year machineKUNT Records (home to Experiment Haywire, Trimetrick, Lady Parasyte, Syrenn etc.) are hard at work on the “Sanity is Slavery” compilation to fight against psychiatric abuse through music. This is a 2 digipack CD compilation which also includes a digital bonus disc. 10% of proceeds are going to MindFreedom International which is an organization dedicated to mental health rights. The compilation features 48 diverse (mostly unreleased) tracks from artists across the globe including Attrition, Hanin Elias, Leæther Strip, amGod, Pzychobitch, and Trimetrick. It is mastered by Kolja Trelle of Soman. The digital bonus disc is mastered by Johan Ess.

machineKUNT is currently giving away packages to anybody who pre-orders the compilation as they count down the last days of their Kickstarter fund. With everything from paintings made specifically for the cause to customized songs by Experiment Haywire and Society Burning to customized photoshoots of machineKUNT models to professional remixes by De-Tached to rare Attrition posters there are 14 different packages available to everyone who helps machineKUNT reach their Kickstarter goal. In an age of digital media the cost of printing physical albums in astronomical but Rachel Haywire of machineKUNT Records is interested in releasing a collectors item that will be remembered for its meaning and message. The large booklet of this digipack will contain pictures, bios, and testimonials from the artists on the compilation along with testimonials from psychiatric survivors across the world.

Trimetrick joins machineKUNT Records

By rachel.haywire | Published: 03/11/2010

Belgium is, and has been, the breeding ground for some of the great pioneers of electronic music for quite a while now. It’s in this tradition that Antwerp city’s Trimetrick is proud and determined to march on the path that was once paved by EBM and Dark Electro masters like A Split Second, Front 242 and Suicide Commando. It was in 2005, when Catherine Jane Robertson entangled her dark poetry and twisted provocative lyrics with Michael Mampaey’s bulldozer beats and eerie synthesizers. Five years later, with an ever-growing discography and with a strong live reputation, they have grown into one of the better alternatives for the far too restricted and stereotypical sound that Dark Electro has become.

After gaining recognition with their underground smash album Utopia Deleted Trimetrick decided to join forces with machineKUNT Records to release their long awaited new record Forms of Blasphemy. This album will feature hits such as Bitch From Hell, Beware!, and Minute Murder. Trimetrick will bomb the bunkers of boredom and expose your ears to the sickest sensations. “Put your boots on, it’s gonna get rough!”

machineKUNT signs Syrenn

By admin | Published: 03/09/2010

After fighting for her place as a rising underground artist in Philadelphia it wasn’t before long machineKUNT Records decided to sign a record deal with Syrenn. Having developed a loyal cult following among the local freaks and artists with her hypnotic industrial beats, futuristic synth lines, and brutal vocals about real life situations it is now time for Syrenn to release her first album on machineKUNT. Syrenn combines the dance beat urgency of early Garbage and the deep desperation of NIN but has a sound all its own and can best bedescribed as poetry in a sea of ruckus synth.

With Jaws of the band MyParasites on the keys and Brittany Bordella of the band Bordellas Prose on guitar their live shows known to be legendary. Syrenn is now ready for humanity. Yet is humanity ready for Syrenn?
