Review by Simon Brown

Cold Industrial by SHProject: A Gritty Dive into Sonic Shadows Alright, let’s talk about Cold Industrial—a hidden gem from 1993 that feels like it crawled straight out of Germany's underground scene and whispered, “Hey, you ready for this?” This album isn’t your typical electronic record; it’s more like an industrial fever dream with shades of EBM (yep, that’s Electronic Body Music), dark ambient vibes, and electro beats so sharp they might cut you. Released on Not On Label—a name as mysterious as the music itself—this project was brought to life by Folko Langner and Markus Böhm. And trust me, once you dive in, it sticks. The first thing I gotta say is how much Epedemics slams you over the head right away. It’s relentless, brooding, and kinda makes you feel like you're running through a dystopian cityscape at night while being chased by something you can’t quite see. The rhythm hits hard but never loses its eerie undertones—it’s got this mechanical heartbeat that just won’t quit. You know those songs where you find yourself nodding along even though you’re not entirely sure what you’re agreeing to? That’s Epedemics. It’s hypnotic chaos wrapped up in cold steel. Honestly, if robots could DJ, this would be their anthem. Then there’s Machines Of Tranquility (Intro). Now, don’t let the word "tranquility" fool ya—it ain’t exactly spa music. Instead, it sets the mood like walking into an abandoned factory late at night. There’s this low hum, almost like machinery idling, mixed with distant echoes that give off major haunted vibes. It’s short, yeah, but man does it linger. Every time I hear it, I imagine flickering fluorescent lights casting long shadows on cracked concrete walls. Creepy? Sure. But also weirdly beautiful. And oh, props to whoever thought naming one track Empty (For Meditation) was a good idea. Like…sure, meditate on emptiness while listening to an industrial banger. Why not? Here’s the kicker though: Cold Industrial doesn’t try too hard to impress anyone. It’s raw, unpolished, and wears its DIY badge proudly. In a world full of shiny, polished albums designed to go viral, this one feels refreshingly real. Almost like it exists outside of time, untouched by trends or expectations. So here’s my random takeaway: If aliens ever landed on Earth looking for proof we had souls despite all evidence suggesting otherwise, I’d hand them Cold Industrial. Maybe then they’d understand why humans are equal parts terrifying and fascinating. Or maybe they’d just blast it during intergalactic raves. Who knows?

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The album *Cold Industrial* by SHProject is a hidden gem from 1993. It blends dark, gritty sounds with electronic beats, pulling you into its eerie world. What makes it stand out? It was released independently in Germany without a major label backing it. Two talented guys, Folko Langner and Markus Böhm, brought this project to life. Tracks like "Gods Talk" and "Don’t Crash (Dance Mix)" show their knack for mixing industrial vibes with danceable energy. If you’re into moody, experimental music, this one’s worth checking out.
