I’m about to take a long flight and am looking to expand my music library.

EDIT: Thanks so much, everyone! I’ve got 10.5 hours of music on my new playlist thanks to you all!

    Never heard of him, just googled it and the description sounds similar. I’ll check it out tomorrow as I’m about to go to bed, but thanks for something new to check out!

      Synth metal is right up my alley and I’d call Carpenter Brut the king of it.

      Few tracks I’d recommend in particular:

      • Hairspray Hurricane

      • Turbo Killer

      • Le Perv

      There’s way more than that but that’s a good start. Of his albums, Trilogy is more synth, Leather Teeth is middle, and Leather Terror is more metal, but all of them go extremely hard

        Just checked a few of his videos on you tube and I’d say leather teeth is my favorite and the closest to in this moments style.

        In this moment leans heavier in the dark/nü metal stuff with a lot more lyrics. The singer has an absolutely angelic voice and then dives deep into a growl and switches back and forth often several times in one song. Her melodic voice is like a sirens call, hypnotizing you. Then she switches and you’re ankles are dragged to hell as she yells at you. It’s fucking amazing and I really hope she doesn’t kill her vocal cords doing that. It’s seriously hauntingly beautiful.

        But after checking out a few of those videos, I gotta say thanks for your recommendation, it’s dope AF and I just made a new Pandora station thanks to you. 👍

        Update: still listening to it. My kid is gonna fucking love listening to this in my mx-5. This is absolutely our jam. Thanks again.

          Glad you like it! I’m curious which singer you are referring to since as far as I know all the vocals in Carpenter Brut songs are via collaboration.

          Some other of my favourite songs from him:

          • The Good Old Call

          • Vances De 87 (Carpenter Brut Remix)

          • Lipstick Masquerade

          • MANIAC

          • Looking for Tracy Tzu

          Listen to the first song in Trilogy, “Escape from Midwich valley”. It starts out like of slow but the end perfectly sets up the rest of the album as very heavy synth

          Be careful driving while listening to CB, driving under the speed limit may be an effort in futility while you listen!

          Also, if you listen to Leather Terror, there’s 2 songs in there that have to be played back to back and its unbelievably hard. That would be Day Stalker and Night Prowler. Try listening to them back to back. Night Prowler starts extremely heavy

            The singer I was referring to was the singer from In This Moment, which I was comparing carpenter brut to, for reference. But yeah I’m definitely digging it as well as a few other artists I’ve never heard of on this playlist.

          That’s sick too. Started out kinda like knife party and then went a different direction. I like it.
