Music review - Tempest & the Diaspora "Amanita Muscaria" (2011)
- Fabryka Industrial Rock Magazine
- April 5, 2011
Authors: Katarzyna 'NINa' Górnisiewicz

The industrial metal scene has been missing meaningful bands recently whose musical arrangements would not be based on forcing themselves to make angry music or copying others, but rather venting off real anger and frustration though their own ideas. The latest furious music of this kind that I was extremely attracted to came from an Australian band named Jerk, so if you've heard this band as well and liked their (only) album When Pure Is Defiled, you may also appreciate the latest contribution to the genre by Tempest & the Diaspora with their debut release, Amanita Muscaria.

TND (T&D) is a new band from the United States that has come up with a refreshing version of industrial metal directed towards picky listeners who keep looking for new inspiration. This album delivers heavy guitar driven tunes with randomly occurring classical solos and loudly screamed, almost hardcore vocals.
Interview - Sean Rieger (File Transfer Protocol band)
- Fabryka Industrial Rock Magazine
- April 7, 2011
Authors: Katarzyna 'NINa' Górnisiewicz

NINa: Musicians are encouraged to be social with their following, but most often they treat their fans like numbers instead of showing respect to those who willingly join them in social networking. However, people in the music industry also judge bands by the numbers. Do you think fans are really supportive in terms of social networks or does direct contact through an official website seem to be a more powerful platform?

Sean Rieger: Great question! I think it’s a combination. I think the music industry is playing a frantic game of catch-up, right now. They are desperately trying to figure out how to keep up with the technology and the artists who have figured out how to use it. Many artists are walking away from big labels because they can market themselves with more creative freedom. The industry still views things in terms of numbers, because numbers equal sales and sales equal bonuses for executives in top floor offices. (...) I spend a lot of time getting to know my fans through social media, and I spend a lot of time responding to them. I think that’s incredibly important. I want to know their faces. They take their time to know mine, it’s only fair that I do the same. Recently, I had a very thoughtful question come in over Twitter that I couldn’t answer fully in 140 characters or less, so I answered in an entire blog post. It only felt right. That person took the time to reach out to me, the least I can do is respond in a thoughtful manner, as well. Artist’s who view fans as numbers… well, I think they just don’t get it. Big publishers view fans that way, and look what’s happening to them.
Interview with Adam Grossman and Ty Picket (Skrew)
- Fabryka Industrial Rock Magazine
- July 14, 2011
Authors: Katarzyna 'NINa' Górnisiewicz

Adam Grossman: I'm no guitar virtuoso so I don't need scalloped necks or extra strings or fancy handles or whatever else can come on a guitar. I just want a hammer to brutally smash the preconceived notions and outdated paradigms of the listener. I wanna fuck people up with noise. ;)

Ty Pickett: Right now the most difficult song to play in the setlist is "Burning In Water, Drowning in Flame" because it's usually the last. So that means we have to stop playing, and that sucks for someone that lives to perform. I can't speak for the rest of the band in many regards, but that is one truth we all share. We are seven motherfuckers that will pour every drop of life into our performances.

Sit Kitty Sit - My Beloved (song review) (2012) 5/5
- Fabryka Magazine
- April 1, 2012
Authors: Katarzyna 'NINa' Górnisiewicz

The songwriting along with the compositional structure is solid yet open, leaving comfortable space for the vocals. Kat's voice is set between mezzo-soprano and alto which allows her to fluctuate between octaves with middle to low notes that are well controlled. The track is strong, direct and confident, yet sounds impatient and almost angry. When Kat sings you may find yourself wanting to stand up straight and wait for orders... or an encounter.
Heresy23 - The Paradigm EP (2012) 4/5
- Fabryka Magazine
- March 30, 2012
Authors: Katarzyna 'NINa' Górnisiewicz

Pete's programming skills are noticeable. You could possibly associate his tunes to the music of Gary Numan since the sound can be cold in moods and repetitive in nature. Some atmospheres are also reminiscent of those by Charlie Clouser thanks to rich arrangements that bring forth a variety of sorcerous dimensions. Typically the beginning and the end of songs are the most difficult parts of the composition to create, but Heresy23 has overcome this problem extremely well.
Fall of Eden - Wargasm (song review) (2012) 5/5
- Fabryka Magazine
- April 11, 2012
Authors: Katarzyna 'NINa' Górnisiewicz

"Wargasm" is the third song on the tracklist. It begins with characteristic black metal atmospheres, these coincide with a wall of brutal speed metal drums that are accompanied by not much slower guitar riffs and a lead guitar melody all falling into singularity. After this intro, the listener is exposed to the growling vocals of Russ Knöbel, who sounds as vile as a lead singer of a metal band could ever be expected to. In the meantime, well controlled guitar riffs intertwine with the drums to keep pounding the listeners ears as though they were a hail storm that destroys everything during hot, steamy days.
