Intensive Care and The Body - Was I good Enough? (2025)

Two major forces in the industrial/noise metal scene, Intensive Care (Andrew Nolan) and The Body are used to releasing collaborative albums, so this one, called Was I good Enough? was bound to happen. The result isn't really surprising either. The good thing is that the quality is as high as expected. I just regret it lacks maybe a dose of craziness/unpredictability to make it really stand out among both band discographies. That been said, they've done another excellent album and I enjoy listening to it, as will anyone into dark industrial sounds.

Full of Hell & Andrew Nolan - Scraping The Divine (2024)

Full of Hell is one of the best blackened hardcore bands and released several excellent collaborative albums in the past, Andrew Nolan never failed to make his music, whether more hardcore/metal or industrial, interesting at least, most of the time brilliant. Saying I had big expectations for this Scraping The Divine collaborative album would be an understatement. Does it live up to it? No, it EXCEEDS it! Yes, sir! Ranging from ferocious noisegrind to more atmospheric industrial metal (the track with JK BRoderick isn't the only moment of the album evoking Godflesh), it is a truly awesome album. Warmly recommended!

Andrew Nolan & God Is War - The Hunt (2023)

Seems grindcore is a good school for industrial music, we had Mick Harris, JK Broderick, but there's also Andrew Nolan (ex The Endless Blockade, also doing Intensive Care) who is building a nice discography in industrial / dub music. His collab with God Is War (dark electro / industrial producer), called The Hunt, is a nice piece of illbient music a dark mix of industrial / dub / hip-hop). Recommended stuff!

Intensive Care - Antibodies (2022) + That We Be Made Worthy (2022)

Couldn't decide which one of these new Intensive Care releases review, so I'm doing both... Antibodies is release by the excellent Iron Lungs Records, and I think That We Be Made Worthy is self-released. Intensive Care is a Canadian duo with Andrew Nolan, ex Column of Heaven and Endless Blockade. What they do can be described as an industrial mix of noise rock and power electronics, and if you're into these kinds of sound I guarantee you'll dig it. Also recommended are the recents Andrew Nolan solo / split releases (he's been very active this year and I sure won't complain about it).

Andrew Nolan - Black Creek (2021)

Black Creek is a solo album from Andrew Nolan (ex The Endless Blockade and Column of Heaven). It could be described as industrial noise dub, and could remind the works of Mick Harris, Kevin Martin and Justin Broadrick. Trippy and dreamy and vaguely menacing and bizarre soundscapes. Excellent stuff.
