Released on Friday, ‘Believe’ is the second single from a forthcoming new album by  Assemblage 23, the brainchild of US electro-industrial/synth-pop artist Tom Shear.  “This song is about believing that there is hope for better things, even with the state of the world as it is today,” says Shear. “We are responsible for making the kind of world we live in. In the face of bad times, sometimes the most subversive thing you can do is to have hope.”

‘Believe’ is included on Null, the tenth album by Shear as Assemblage 23 and the long-awaited follow-up to Mourn in 2020. Also home to the recent single ‘Tolerate’ , the album will be pre-promoted with a UK tour that commences on 15th October, immediately followed a one-off show in Germany. Dates are as follows:

15th October  BRISTOL Exchange
16th October  MANCHESTER Rebellion
17th October  GLASGOW Ivory Blacks
18th October  SHEFFIELD Corporation
19th October  LONDON The Dome

20th October  OBERHAUSEN Kulttempel

US electronic musician and vocalist Mari Kattman has issued a video for ‘Typical Girl’, the opening song on her new album Year Of The Katt, released in late June by Metropolis Records. The clip was shot in downtown Providence (Rhode Island) by Mark Allison of @401FilmsPVD.

“Typical girl. People say it constantly, so much so it feels almost criminal to be female by birth,” Kattman states when explaining the meaning of the song. “Like it’s vulgar or something to carry characteristics that are even remotely female. That it makes you difficult, unlovable or crazy when it’s not packaged up and tied with a pretty bow or something. There are so many misunderstandings about what it is to be a woman.”

Louisiana-based industrial bass artist SINthetik Messiah has unleashed a provocative new single.  ‘Assassins That Run On Faith’ takes aim at violence and abuse in the Vatican.

"For 1,000s of years inside the Vatican a covenant of nuns exist solely to rid the evil of this world. Through sheer violence, this covenant was able to bring the Vatican to its current day power." – Bug Gigabyte

Included in the recording is an authentic recording of Pope Francis apologizing to nuns for abuse.

The release includes a remix by none other than Tom Shear of Assemblage 23.
