  • Austin’s Sinclair Noire Confronts the Surveillance State and Digital Panopticon in Video for ‘Blackshore”

    Sinclair Noire comes stomping out of Austin with their latest video for Blackshore like they’ve been locked in a back room with a busted television, a stack of J.G. Ballard paperbacks, and a police scanner that won’t shut up. Somewhere in that splendid civic sickness, they’ve found a beat fit for the age. This is darkwave with a dirty mirror held up to the digital state, gothic rock with nightclub nerve, industrial percussion with enough blunt-force momentum to make your ribs feel like they’ve joined the argument. Ethan Stafford leads the charge with the kind of presence that suggests a man who has seen the wires behind the walls and come back with a grin that is equal parts warning and dare.

    The track itself moves with severe purpose. Cold synth lines spread out like fluorescent weather over Stephen Fernandez’s bass, which carries the tune with a lean, limber menace, while Von Dasa’s drums keep landing like steel doors slamming in some municipal basement where all the ugly truths get filed and forgotten. The guitars cut in at just the right moments, bent and needling, like somebody etching bad news into the side of a train. William Faith’s mix gives the whole thing a hard gleam without sanding off the abrasion, and that matters because Blackshore lives on abrasion. It feeds on it.

    What Stafford and company are chasing here is bigger than atmosphere and smarter than mere alarm. “Blackshore is our current moment,” says Ethan Stafford. “A parasocial macrocosm under constant watch, where even dissent is observed, indexed, and co-opted. The video captures the tension between chaos, altered states of consciousness, and the fragmentation of reality by technologies like artificial intelligence. From the streets, to the nightclub, to the stage; and the struggle to assert agency in a world that constantly erodes it with surveillance.”

    That could read like mere theory if the band didn’t make it feel so bodily, so bruising, so close to the skin. This track understands that modern control is slick, seductive, ridiculous, and rotten clear through.

    The video pushes that idea into a full-blown fever pageant. Stafford prowls city streets lit like a bad omen, wanders through protest wreckage, stares down a warped media circus populated by grotesques in Epstein and Charlie Kirk masks, then plunges into a nightclub chase that feels half pursuit, half possession. There’s a room scrawled with graffiti, a glitched rave, gang violence, cameras everywhere, and finally a purple-lit studio where power, lust, image, and authorship all get thrown into the same blender. By the time Von Dasa finds Stafford collapsed and the codename Blackshore flashes across every screen, the point has landed with ugly elegance: the machine can market your rebellion before you’ve even caught your breath.

    And then there’s that shouted line, “Our nation’s bloodied; the tempest’s fate!” – a grand, ragged cry that drags Shakespeare through the Epstein Files and somehow makes it sound appropriate for the republic we’ve built, this peep-show panopticon where every scandal gets swallowed, tagged, and sold back to us by morning.

  • King Diamond Guitarist Andy La Rocque Says a 2026 Album Release is “Our Goal”

    DSC9595

    It feels like we’ve been talking about a new King Diamond record for a while now. Too long, really. At least since 2022, if not well before that. Well, it sounds like we might finally be getting closer to that album’s release, according to King Diamond guitarist Andy La Rocque.

    La Rocque recently appeared on the Pod Scum podcast (as transcribed by Blabbermouth), where discussion fell onto the new record. When asked about a possible 2026 release, he was hopeful that things could end up that way.

    “I really hope so. That’s our goal. We have most of the songs. I sent [King Diamond], I think, eight songs, like, four years ago, and we decided to use three of those. And we actually played one live from those songs.

    “As soon as he’s done with this stuff — he’s gotta write five songs, I believe, and he’s got a lot of the stuff already written down, with the lyrics and everything. As soon as that’s recorded and arranged from his side, we can put the right guitars on, the right drums, bass, and everything. So I really hope it won’t take very long before we can continue working on that. And if that’s the case, we can start recording soon, and during the summer, then we have a chance for it to be released at the very end of the year.”

    Also during that interview, La Rocque explained how he tackles writing music for a King Diamond record versus how he does so for his own pieces.

    “It depends. Nowadays, King usually has a request for me to play the song the way he would like it to be played. So I probably play my songs a little bit differently than his songs, because I know that, for example, he doesn’t like when I play the rhythms with a vibrato kind of thing at the end of a riff or whatever, because that might be interacting with his vocals that come on later.

    “But on my songs, I just do what I feel is right to do. I mean, if it’s good for the song, it’s probably good. And if it doesn’t fit, when he puts the vocal on, I change it. But first of all, I just write what comes out of the heart. I don’t really care what other people think about the style or whatever. I just write my stuff, and it’s kind of based in the ’80s. I mean, standard tuning — we don’t tune down with King Diamond, so it’s standard tuning, pretty straightforward. And melodies are super essential. I think it’s so important to have melodies in the songs and create space for melodies, too, for the vocals. That’s really important.”

    Hopefully we’ll know more about a potential King Diamond album release. Fingers crossed that it happens this year… Finally…
