Track Of The Day - The Sphere Edition

With pop-ish cyber metal standouts like this, Illidiance can squeeze these perfect rhythms and epic melodies in a mere 4 minutes (the average song length for this album):

Industrial rock/metal from the darkest depth of Hell (the band's studio):

A perfect Roxette cover to close this offering:

Pure drone-ish industrial metal darkness from this Uniformed Body:

One of Killing Joke's earliest true displays of their metal direction, an ominous mid-tempo march with strong metallic riffing:

I just found this kick-A cyber metal take on a Linkin Park hit by Illidiance. RIP Chester Bennington

Which version of "Into the Pentagram" do you prefer, the original or the remake? You know what I prefer based on which one I'm sharing:

A pinnacle of modern industrial/cyber metal, despite the clean vocals sounding a bit inferior to the guttural ones:

Hardcore-ish melodeath/cyber metal, opening up more outer dimensions in the music-verse:

I love the throbbing bassline of this dystopian-sounding track.This video also contains the hidden track from Hymns, Jesu makes up the first six minutes.

I love both "Jesu" and the hidden track, the former of which would inspire the name of the band Justin Broadrick formed during Godflesh's split, and the latter serving as a good hint at Jesu's sound.

The earlier experimentation fits greatly with the fantastic lyrics in this finale:

Another one of Mechina's mind-blowing covers, a Duran Duran ballad gone epic cyber metal:

Some more industrial metal/rock bands I enjoy nowadays are the Finnish equivalent to Neue Deutsch Harte, Ruoska:

And Arizona-based multi-genre project Blue Stahli:

A perfect industrial highlight of David Draiman's strong vocals:

This two-track EP containing a 10-minute epic and a laid-back instrumental of almost the same length is best enjoyed as a full bombastic journey of symphonic cyber metal, though the instrumental is more balanced:

Sneak peek for the November Sphere playlist coming this Friday, another piece of epic cyber metal by Mechina:

The most well-executed highlight here, never as poorly aging as the other tracks:

Though it can't beat this truly epic space journey that appears in the Compendium edition of Empyrean but would fit better in the Conqueror album as its near-end epic:

The Compendium edition of Xenon begins with this pummeling 10-minute epic that is my favorite track of the entire album and makes up for whatever mess the main album would have later, just like Empyrean's Compendium bonus track "Andromeda":

It would be better if "Cepheus" was Xenon's ending or near-ending epic though, because then it can let the opening title track of the main album shine with underrated epic cinematic cyber metal to love:

A true masterpiece highlight that greatly foreshadows what's to come later for Mechina:

A wonderful German remix of the debut's "Teurastaja", featuring Chris Harms of Lord of the Lost, that I might just love more than the original:
