Sophya, The Way Of All Flesh and more at www.hard-wired.org.uk...

It's update time at Hard Wired again.

Gothic Rock reviews for:

Sophya* - Moody melancholy magic from Clan of Xymox associates.
Libitina - A very British mix of goth & new wave influences that comes up trumps.
The Way Of All Flesh* - Trad-goth from Sheffield that shows potential for greatness...
Diabolical Masquerade - Diabolical by name, diabolical by nature...

EBM reviews for:

Dawn Of Ashes - Blood soaked lyrics & imagery can't disguise the fact that this is a disappointing debut.
Various Artists - Dependent Club Invasion 3 - Thrillers, fillers & intrigue can be found in this box set.
Painbastard - Bombastic & emotive, this is the sound of an artist at his best.
Siva Six - A quite superb dark EBM album that should find a home on any self-respecting dancefloor.
