Compact Disc (CD) + Digital AlbumSeeming's cavernous music fuses masterful songwriting with explosive and strange passion. The electronic duo's debut Madness & Extinction is a foreboding opus, equal parts chaotic rage and melodic sweetness. Standout tracks "The Eyes of Extinction" and "Goodnight London" are essentials on any 2014 mixtape for the black-clad set, and "The Burial" is the bleakest pop single you'll ever dance to. Seeming's members are both veterans of acclaimed darkwave act ThouShaltNot: Alex Reed (author of Assimilate: A Critical History of Industrial Music) and drummer Aaron Fuleki. A post-gothic meditation on insanity, history, and the earth in crisis, Madness & Extinction announces the bold arrival of Seeming.

lyrics
Genevieve, put on your jewelry, and hide that handgun where they will not see. Don't mind your wrinkles. Don't mind your age, because the time has come to take the stage in that black empire dress you stole. Now bravely face the night patrol. And you'll be beautiful for the last time. Friedrichsain, bear proud your injury, your graffiti tags and squatter luxury, because the cleanup crew is here to scrub the past and a civilized future is coming fast with the traces of '45 and '68 forever painted over by the state. So be beautiful for the last time. But poor ugly child, go to the balcony. Do you hear the clouds beckon with their falconry? To a skylocked world will you show your face, where your burns and bends are silk and lace? Will you trade your body for falling snow? Will you blanket the ground below, where you'll be beautiful for the first time?

Eyes On Backwards
by Dead When I Found Hersupported by 165 fans who also own “Beautiful for the Last Time”
This album should be ranked very high in ranks of latest industrial albums, because it just crushes the competition. THIS is how it's done people. Menacing vocals, pounding drums and haunting electronics have no mercy on your ears and leave you with not one second of peace. Play this loud and do people around you a service.

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORSsupported by 155 fans who also own “Beautiful for the Last Time”
Slaves is my favorite song, although Crosses comes at such a close second... this LP and acts of worship I both need to own in some sort of physical copy one day, they're so good at expressing emotions I didn't even know I felt...

Saw Kanga last night in Houston , instantly was entranced by her sound , sucked me into the Kangakult vortex , so glad I got to see her live , should have looked into her sooner as Gary Numan was so supportive of her on the Revolution tour , oh now it’s time to catch up and get further involved
