I saw VNV Nation last night here in Atlanta; you can read all about it.

I'm enjoying their new album, Judgement, very much. Go get it if you haven't already (and I mean buy it, ya damn pirates!). Tracks to especially watch for are "Testament", "The Farthest Star", and "Nemesis". I think they're doing a lot to bring back the militant mood of Advance and Follow and Empires while holding onto the more thoughtful, emotive stuff from Futureperfect.

I've put some of their new tracks into rotation this week, along with a bunch from And One, Mesh, and others.

A very special thank you to the guys from Red Flag, too. Quite out of nowhere they sent me some tracks from their upcoming release Born Again. It looks as though they've been around since the early 90s and I'm surprised I'd never heard of them, but after listening, this is some quality stuff on the industrial side of darkwave. Their two promo tracks are in rotation now, so be on the lookout.
