Nefarious Industries Crime Slime & Grime since 2010 Over the past half decade, this has included bands from all over the world, playing a dizzying array of styles.

Nefarious Industries is the brain child of A Fu***ng Elephant and El Drugstore, two of the most obnoxious bands to come out of the great state of New Jersey in recent memory. Originally founded as an outlet to release their 2011 split EP Dope Soaked and Wow // Silver Medals for Everyone, Nefarious Industries has grown into a label that showcases the most adventurous and least commercially viable a

rtists that it can manage to locate. Rather than rest on those laurels, Nefarious Industries is doubling down on its own stupidity and committing itself to unearthing even more records that would otherwise be confined to some neglected corner of the internet. As any musician that plays left-of-center music knows, promoting a band that doesn’t fit into the narrow tastes of the public at large is an expensive and often fruitless endeavor. Our hope is to provide strength in numbers, where each band on the roster exposes their followers to other bands on the roster, ultimately providing a wider swath of open-minded listeners a chance to discover music they had little to no hope of finding on their own. Please stay tuned to this site as our collective continues to extend its tentacles into more far-flung regions of the musical spectrum. Thanks for listening.

Sixth Mass-Extinction Skulduggery III, the apex of LoHud/NYC-based Gridfailure's unraveling five-album concept series, is OUT NOW across streaming platforms worldwide and on cassette alongside a limited box set containing all three Sixth Mass-Extinction Skulduggery albums.

https://www.nefariousindustries.com/nef-50

Sixth Mass-Extinction Skulduggery III continues to follow the death of our planet’s ecosystem and humanity’s renaissance of self-mutilation with tales of mass-enslavement of humans for consumption, rampant cannibalism, prevalent desire and addiction to homicide, warmongering conspiracy theorists in power, the reliance on AI, and more, amidst ever-worsening extreme weather disasters, as humanity loses the war we’ve waged upon our own planet.

With over eighty minutes of GRIDFAILURE’s demoralizing, confrontational battery, this record expands the project’s genre-bending experimentalism, with bizarre and theatrical excursions into jazz, classical, techno, folk, black metal, Americana, and more infused into its post-industrial/dark hardcore foundational persuasion.

Infused with a multitude of self-recorded guest contributions, Sixth Mass-Extinction Skulduggery III was performed, recorded, arranged, and mixed by David Brenner at The Compound in Valley Cottage, NY, and mastered by Dan Emery at Black Matter Mastering in Nashville, TN (Kool Keith, Steve Von Till, Krieg).

The album features additional lyrics, vocals, and guitar from Steve Austin (Today Is The Day) on five of its fifteen songs, as well as performances by Leila Abdul-Rauf (Vastum, Ionophore), Mac Gollehon (live/session for David Bowie, Duran Duran, Onyx, Blondie, Héctor Lavoe), and countless other collaborators.

Nefarious Industries presents Aligned & Vital, the second album from Chicago-based velvet-grunge space rock collective Lavisher, available November 14th on Ultra Clear 12" vinyl with printed inner sleeve and lyric insert, and 4-panel digipak CD with 8-panel booklet.

https://www.nefariousindustries.com/nef118

Aligned & Vital delivers twelve diverse songs comfortably rooted in both nostalgia and exploration. With a sound that nods to Queens Of The Stone Age and A Perfect Circle, and hints of Deftones and Failure, LAVISHER conjures lush, distorted dreamscapes where beauty and decay meld inside a river of riffage. As LAVISHER continues to carve their niche in the modern rock landscape, their message is clear: the future of heavy, heartfelt rock has arrived—and it’s dressed in velvet.

All music and lyrics for Aligned & Vital were written by Gavin Cushman III and Benjamin Standage, except “Way Too Much” written by Andrew Cushman. The vocals, guitars, bass, and synths were performed by Gavin Cushman III – the guitars and bass engineered by Adrian Kobziar at Ohmstead Recording and the vocals engineered by Cushman – and the drums performed by Benjamin Standage and engineered by Pete Grossman at Bricktop Recording. The album was mixed by Adrian Kobziar, mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege, and completed with original artwork/photography by Puzzleman Leung, portrait photography by Lena Jackson, and design/layout by Greg Meisenberg.

The Seeing House, the corrosive second LP from English noise rock trio Irk, is OUT NOW across streaming platforms worldwide and available on limited edition Transparent Red LP and 6-panel digipak CD. Grab a copy while you can, this s**t won't last!

https://www.nefariousindustries.com/nef117

The Seeing House takes the band's already rambunctious sound to even more explosive sonic territory. Ten abrasive tracks balance the technical intensity of mathcore with the raw energy of noise rock to create a distinctive brand of angular, unpredictable music. Fans of Chat Pile, Pr******te, The Jesus Lizard, Cherubs, These Arms Are Snakes, KEN Mode, and even Meshuggah must hear IRK.

The Seeing House was recorded, mixed, and produced by Andrew Edwards and Matthew Deamer at Glide Studio in Leeds, UK, mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege in Portland, Oregon (The Armed, Locrian, Deadguy), and completed with cover art by Kazland, and design and layout by Greg Meisenberg. Additionally, the string arrangement on “Lifetime Achievement Award” was handled by Jamie Chambers with cello on the song performed by Jenn Chubb, guitar on “My Life In Bins” was provided by Jack Evans, and gang vocals on “The Great Wasp Of Reluctance” and “Wedding, Berlin” were delivered by Stewart Ramsay, Kerry Ramsay, and Jenn Chubb.
