Shellshocked Radio Music Recommendations

Today I was able to sit down with my friend Brian Matteson again.  He is an accomplished artist and already can life from the music he plays.  But he want to find his footing and his "voice" with his own songs as well.  He has the luxury "problem" that he likes many different styles and genres of music, so we discuss the probability to release all the different genres under one umbr...

Dear congregation,  let me introduce you to a pastor's son named Vincent Furnier, better known as  @AliceCooperVEVO  .  Well known for his stage theatrics, even working together with a personal hero of mine the great  @JamesRandiFoundation  for his props on his musical shows. I have to admit, I never got into his glam rock leaning music and also his voice is nothing t...

Today a little "fringe" oddity, at least to my usual more Gothic and Industrial centered content.  I've seen one of  @StephenPaulTaylor  previous bands in Budapest as I was living there.  He performed together with his female counterpart XBox as "Trike", and I was blown away from their live show with all the physical elements and I remember he got the whole ground to run around...

This is just a great song.  I would not bill them  @shinytoyguns  as a rockband, maybe electro rock fits it better, but I really love this song. So if you do not know them yet, check out "You are the one":   https://youtu.be/-fmomjFNhvg   Here a link to a live performance:   https://youtu.be/ksccrecBYus     @fearlessmusicshow     https://open....

Heute haben Lizard Pool aus dem schönen (und noch halbwegs erschwinglichen ;) Leipzig für mich Zeit gefunden.  Wir reden über Ihren musikalischen Werdegang, wie die Band sich gefunden hat, Ihre verschiedenen Hintergründe und die Entstehung Ihrer Musik. Hierbei gehen Sie absolut (semi) Professionell vor, aber ohne den Spass am Kreativ sein zu verlieren.   Abgerundet wird das Gespräch mit...

Well, if you follow my channel, playlist and / or radio show at least for a little bit, you knew that this would happen.   @MINISTRYMUSIC  would be on my recommendation list for sure, as they opened up the doors for merging Metal with Electronic music.  At least, they were the first world wide successful ones. I also tell a very personal story in the video ... yes, I've been young o...

Today I recommend another EBM classic I was introduced to about 25 years ago while serving my civil duty (instead of serving in the military).  One of my co-civil servant, who always wore black and listened to some (then for me) strange music, made me a mix tape with Electronic Body Music & Darkwave, introducing me to Front 242. So I'm a bit biased here and not very objective in my recomm...

Today I recommend the great  @Tiamat Records   @Century Media Records  with there, for their sphere, more "poppy" Goth Rock Song "Brighter than the Sun".  This is a great tune which I have repeatedly in my playlist    https://playlist.shellshockedradio.com/link/griyke   and don't get tired of hearing again and again. As I've mentioned in my video, I know the...

Today I recommend a well known band in the German speaking sphere of the world  @Knorkator  they are "kind of" funny but tackle interesting and important subjects in their very weird and unique style of music.  This is clearly not for everyone, and people who can understand German and know a few more VIP's from Germany will clearly appreciate this strange song a bit more, but even i...

Heute hatte Antje von "crows on wire" Zeit für mich gefunden, ein Gespräch auf was ich mich schon lange gefreut hatte, DENN auch wenn "crows on wire" derzeit nur 2 Songs veröffentlicht hat, machen diese beiden sehr viel Lust auf mehr.  Inspiriert von  @Depeche Mode   @Joy Division  und  @The Cure  produziert Sie zusammen mit Mike Timmermann (  @Phillip Boa a...

Hello Guys,   today a recommendation of a band which I've actually seen live in my hometown here in Jena.  @POLIÇA  have been recommended to me by a friend with whom I went to see them live then.   It was great to see two great drummers and an also great bass player perform these songs live. Even though, and I do not mean that as a diss, there was not much to "see" in a sense o...

Yeah! Today I give you  @Pain   In a way it is nothing new if you think of Ministry or  @officialkmfdm  BUT he comes from the opposite aisle if you consider that Ministry started out as a Pop Band and later added guitars, he  @Peter Tägtgren  comes from a Heavy Metal background and added electronics and Techno to it.  So his music has quite a stronger punch...

Today I was able to sit down with Billie Rogue from Toronto. A new and emerging artist in the Industrial scene.  We talk about her background and influences of course, but also get a bit site tracked talking about social media, marketing and  @ImagineDragons  ...   If you wanna know our in depth view and opinion here ... check out our talk ;)   Here is her Website:  ...

Tonight I was able to sit down with Mark from the Band "Broken Links" which is currently quite underrated, but I will try to change that as good as I can. If you love the music of  @Muse   @Depeche Mode   @Nine Inch Nails  and  @Radiohead  you are in luck, because  @Broken Links  is all that rolled in one band.   Besides their great musical ab...

Hey Folks,  what is there to say for me about  @Muse  ?  I mean, what can I add to this great band? Great songs, great live performances, great people ... If you do not know them by now, you have to check them out!  One of the greatest band still active today. Genre bending, fresh, humorous ... just fun, and very pleasant to the ears. This is my kind of music!   https...

Today I was able to catch up with  @Dimi Kaye  and once again we are from a conversational stand point all over the place and touch on Spotify promotion, Artist Marketing, getting your works out there and how to keep your Ego in check when you collaborate with other musicians.   Like always he has tons of good advice. So please check him out here:   https://open.spotify.com/art...

Hello Guys,   today a band from the "medieval music" flock. As I was doing  medieval sword fighting in the past and attended a lot of these medieval fairs with my stunt show group, I was over saturated with bag pipe music for a while, but now, as these (medieval) times are way past, I can recommend such music.  Especially Tanzwut, who incorporated more modern instruments like electr...

Heute hatte Chris von https://www.chris-sounddesign.de/ Zeit für mich gefunden.  Wir sprechen darüber wie er es schafft sich in die verschiedenen Genres, in denen er produziert, hineinzudenken.  Wie sich herausstellt, es geht immer um das Gefühl und ein enges zusammenarbeiten mit dem / den Künstlern.  Wenn Ihr nach unserem Gespräch Lust bekommen habt, mehr über Chris zu erfahren ode...

Tonight I was able to sit down with Acheface, who actually has a background in extreme Metal, but makes now electronic music the "extreme" way, you might say ;)  He uses modular synthesizers (the real ones!) in an Eurorack to perform his music live. And by live he means live, no show is like one you have seen before, there are always new elements and patches, his live shows are a mix of prear...

Tonight I had the great pleasure to talk with Mortiis, who has been active in the music business for over 30 years.  So naturally you can expect a ton of insights from him.   We touch in our talk about his musical beginnings and his musical journey up to today, how to stay relevant on social media, how to stay creative amidst a busy live, juggling work in the studio, in his day job &...

Hell Yeah!  Sooner or later I had to get to this Gem.  What a great song, band and performer! Sadly Peter Steele is no longer with us but he has been a "big" (he was very tall ...) influence on one of my most beloved genres.  What I clearly like and they pull of so well, is that they make dark music, with all the graveyard and death imagery, but they do it with a smirk and don't tak...

Tonight I was finally able to sit down and talk with Brian Matteson (YT Channel: matteson83 ) which I found through some lucky circumstances and    @SpectreSoundStudios  .  We basically started talking as I really love his rendition and video of the Aha Song "Take on me" you have to check it out here:   https://youtu.be/NaM58OnKx24  So naturally I wanted to get to kno...

Hey Guys,   today a harsh Electro Industrial Track from the Band  @Das Ich ❤  "Destillat" has a crazy gorgeous video as well, check it out here: https://youtu.be/FjJ5lOSR8Kg   Stefan Ackermann (the vocalist) is a great performer and there visual style is quite striking. One day to share the stage with them ... well ... that would be a dream come true.  Enjoy them here: &nb...

Tonight Denis from Deleo found time for me. He tells us about his passion for the music of  @The Cure   @Joy Division  Cocteau Twins,  @Depeche Mode  and more which led him to quit his job at an Advertisement Agency and pursue his dream of making the music he loves full time.  We talk about his luck in finding the right persons to make his dreams come true in his...
