HORSKH - BODY (2024)

BODY, the third album of HORSKH (from Besançon, East of France) confirms they are among the new industrial bands that matters. They build on old school industrial music from the nineties, with a touch of EBM, but also incorporates newer sounds like dubstep, nu metal, trap metal, resulting in a music somewhere between NIN, 3Teeth and Ghostmane. But I'd say they mostly distinguish from other bands with their strong songwriting skills, their ability to write songs at the same time catchy but also avoiding sounding as standardized as a big part of industrial metal often is.

Bob Vylan - Bob Vylan presents The Price of Life (2022)

Bob Vylan presents The Price of Life is the first album from English duo Bob Vylan, UK Hip-hop with guitars, with some trap metal, some grime, some ragga, elements reminding The Prodigy, or maybe The Beastie Boys as well. A bit like City Morgue / ZillahKami, but more grime and less grim, and very UK. Cool stuff!

Ho99o9 - Skin (2022)

Skin is another wild ride of an album from trap/punk/nu-metal duo Ho99o9 (who teamed on this album with Travis Barker on drums and production. Are also featured Saul Williams, Corey Taylor and Bun-B). Like their first one (United States of Horror)Skin is a very fun and enjoyable album and confirms that they are among the very best "trap metal" bands.
