THE JUGGERNAUTS -…Are Coming - Extend (CD) (BodyBeats Productions Records) When The Juggernauts Are Coming first appeared in 2016, Belgian electroindustrial/EBMact The Juggernauts made an immediate and uncompromising statement. The newly released The Juggernauts Are Coming – Extended re-issue reinforces that impact, presenting the album as a definitive snapshot of the band’s early power and vision.This album still hits hard, driven by militant rhythms, abrasive synth lines, and commanding vocals. Tracks like the title cut and “Plastic World” blend classic EBM discipline with modern production, avoiding retro clichés while delivering maximum club-floor force. A major highlight of this extended edition is the inclusion of all tracks from the debut EP Phoenix as bonus material. These songs add valuable context, showcasing a rawer, more primitive side of the band while underscoring their rapid evolution.The physical edition is equally compelling: a 3-panel digipak with a full-color 12-page lyrics booklet and stickers, strictly limited to 300 copies.This re-issue is both a sonic and visual collector’s piece —essential for EBM devotees. [HH] ROUGUE UNITvs DARKVOLT-The Truth (Rhys Fulber Remix) (Digital single) (DressCode Black) The Truth (Rhys Fulber Remix) is a striking reinterpretation that elevates this track into a darker, more immersive soundscape. Released digitally in January 2026 via Antwerp’s DressCode Black, this remix marks the second instalment in the State Of Calamity remix series,with industrial veteran Rhys Fulber at the helm. Fulber’s touch reshapes the track with his signature blend of dense atmospherics and precision-forged rhythms, pushing the original’s electro-industrial core into a deeper, more brooding territory. The remix layers pulsing synths and claustrophobic textures beneath Darkvolt’s emotive vocals, creating a sense of urgency and gravitas that complements Rogue Unit’s production aesthetic. The result is a compelling fusion of styles: dancefloor-ready energy tempered by ominous sonic depth. The Truth (Rhys Fulber Remix) stands out as both a powerful standalone single & a promising peek into the wider State Of Calamity project. [HH] PISTON DAMP - Downfall (Single Digital) Piston Damp is a Danish–Norwegian electronic duo formed by Jonas Groth and Truls Sønsterud. Jonas is also known for his long-standing involvement with Apoptygma Berzerk, fronted by his brother Stephan. This connection places Piston Damp firmly within the Scandinavian electronic tradition while allowing the project to maintain its own distinct musical identity.Their latest album,Mastermind Vol.1: No Points For Trying, presents a measured and carefully structured body of work, rooted in synth-pop and EBM while favouring atmosphere and melodic clarity over excess. The album’s controlled pacing and restrained production underline the duo’s focus on cohesion and balance rather than overt dramatic gestures. The new single Downfall serves as the album’s closing release and offers several distinct elements: Downfall (Single Version) mixed by Willi Dammeier, Downfall (Elegant Machinery Remix) who reinterprets the track through a more minimal synth framework, Now You Know (Realization Version), in a strippeddown realisation for piano&vocals only&Downfall (AlbumVersion) the reference point for the single, highly recommended as a strong entry point into Piston Damp’s work.[BP] (Sub Culture Records) JEROME FROESE - Sunsets in Stereo (CD/Digital) (Moonpop) www.peek-a-boo-magazine.be Read full reviews on http://www.peek-a-boo-magazine.be/en/reviews/ Jerome Froese has always lived between worlds.As the son of Tangerine Dream founder Edgar Froese, his roots are deeply embedded in electronic music history, yet his career has never relied on inheritance. Since the early 1990s, he has forged his own identity through Guitartronica — a distinctive fusion where guitar functions as rhythm, texture, and atmosphere within electronic frameworks. During his time with Tangerine Dream (1990–2006), Froese helped shape the band’s most commercially successful era, contributing to seven GRAMMY nominations, over 1.5 million album sales, and major Billboard success. Beyond Tangerine Dream, his solo work and collaborations have continually expanded the Guitartronica concept. In 2025, Sunsets in Stereo emerges as a luminous, reflective statement. Across ten tracks, shimmering guitars intertwine with sequenced electronics, balancing intimacy and scale. The album unfolds with quiet poetry and emotional depth, capturing resilience, movement, and grace — a work that feels both timeless and deeply personal. - 24 - [HC]
