North Carolina’s Corpse Dust have spent the last few years lurking around the harsher fringes of the underground, dragging death industrial, EBM, and harsh noise through the dirt and seeing what still twitches. On their latest album SUFFER, mastermind Nathan Landolt pushes the project into a more dramatic register, giving the EP a sharper profile. The cold mechanics are still there, the menace still hangs in the room, but now there is a bruised romanticism running through the music; a sense of inward ruin dressed up for the club.

The EP really bares its teeth with standout track TORTURE ME. The lyrics revel in bodily damage, turning mutilation, suffocation, decay, and burial into a fevered vision of pain craved past reason. There is sadism in it, but also something theatrical, as if suffering has become both appetite and atmosphere. It’s bombastic basslines shove the body forward, the beat keeps the floor in view, and the synth melodies snake through the track with a diseased sweetness. The song swells into a heavier industrial crush by the end, and the transformation feels like a mind sinking deeper into delirium. There are moments that may call up Dancing Plague or Qual, mostly in the marriage of gloom and propulsion, but Corpse Dust keeps a distinct identity throughout the track.

The video for  TORTURE ME, directed by Jaime Lopez / Photohause Productions and filmed at Churchill’s Pub in Miami, suits the song beautifully. Shot in black and white with an expressionist eye, it presents the band in a state of near-manic performance, hectic and hypnotic without losing its sense of control. The BDSM imagery fits naturally with the song’s themes, while the restless camera and raw live energy give the clip a desperate glamour.

Watch the video for ‘Torture Me” below:

After Nothing Left of Pain, the Bleached Cross remix, the Godflesh cover, and “Full of Love (Redux),” this feels like a real turning point for Corpse Dust: a record where severity, style, and emotional collapse finally meet in the same room and stare each other down. Across twenty minutes, SUFFER keeps disaffection, desire, and hostility in a tight clinch.The songs move with poise even when they are knee-deep in psychic wreckage. Landolt has a firm grasp on shape and pacing. The compositions are tight, the variations are meaningful, and the project’s character stays clear from beginning to end.

Tesla will release Homage, an album of soul and R&B covers, in July via Frontiers Music Srl. Built around the vocal abilities of frontman Jeff Keith, the record features interpretations of classics by Sam Cooke, Etta James, and James Brown, alongside a new original Tesla track, “Never Alone”.

Guitarist Frank Hannon confirmed the details in a recent interview with Evan Toth, saying (via Blabbermouth): “Tesla is releasing an album of R&B classics that showcase our lead singer’s voice, singing Sam Cooke and Etta James, and James Brown. It’s called Homage. And that album is gonna come out in July. It’s a very interesting record, and it’s got some really cool songs on it, as well as a new Tesla song called ‘Never Alone’.”

Hannon had first flagged the project during a November 2025 appearance on SiriusXM’s “Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk”, explaining the thinking behind it to host Eddie Trunk: “Well, you were talking about [Tesla frontman] Jeff Keith being a singer who can still sing compared to a lot of our other comrades from our era. And so we’re doing a collection of songs that showcase Jeff Keith‘s singing ability. And it’s coming out really great, man. Some really obscure classic songs that you would not expect to hear from Tesla. And it’s centered around his ability to sing and his soulfulness in his voice.

“[Tesla bassist] Brian Wheat has been working really hard at producing it. These guys were just in the studio for a week. I did some recording in Las Vegas in my hotel room with Jeff, and we’re working on it. It’s a work in progress.”

Hannon also revealed the tracklist would include Tesla‘s take on Supertramp‘s “Give A Little Bit” — a song the band has been playing live recently — as well as a new version of Climax Blues Band‘s “I Love You”, which has racked up significant streaming numbers and become effectively part of the band’s regular repertoire. He said:

“That’s one of the new ones we’re doing. And we’re doing another version of [Climax Blues Band‘s] ‘I Love You’, which got millions of views on Tesla‘s Spotify, I think, or YouTube or something. So that’s almost like one of our own hits, the song ‘I Love You’. But there are some really obscure tracks on this new batch of recordings — songs by The Temptations… Jeff picked most of ’em. And Brian, as I said, Brian‘s been spearheading this project.”

This summer, Tesla will support Mötley Crüe on “The Return Of Carnival Of Sins” tour alongside Extreme. The band’s most recent release was the six-song EP All About Love, out in November 2024, which included four versions of the title track, a live take on “Walk Away”, and an instrumental, “From The Heart”, written by Hannon.
