I see guy of the project has posted in this topic too, but not mentioned his own works:

Natural Orthodoxy "Legacies of Rust" tape is one of the very best "where did this came from" -type of tapes I have listened lately. As many things happen in such a fast pace, it is possibly I have seen or heard it before, but also possibly this was first exposure. Just can't remember.
Got bunch of tapes from New Forces, and when pushed play of "Legacies of Rust", in first few minutes of thought - ah ok, contemporary power electronics. Semi melodic backing tones, scream as loud as possible, some racket on top. But not so fast conclusions! 8 track long tape stands out as proper album. There is more to it than one can judge by first couple of minutes. Some variation in vocal performance. Not one effect, and totally uniform style. Songs themselves has diversity. From short pieces of noisy and ripping stuff to deep heavy electronic pulsations. Needless to say, tape version sounds way better. While bandcamp version feels like "unmastered", tape feels like it's now sounding as it should. Saturated, punching sound, where some peaks are evened a bit and digital feel is less dominant. I'd recommend tape - and I'd also urge to hurry. It's ltd 75 only! In Europe, at least Freak Animal carries some at the moment, in USA of course label directly is way to go.

Thank you!!

I may do a self-release CD reissue of this once it seems to be sold out from Phage and distros (Nil By Mouth also has a couple), and include some extra tracks, possibly live recordings from my shows with Svartvit or Pharmakon.

Those interested in new projects of this kind may wish to investigate the inaugural release from Active Denial.

This is a quality UK pe release that deserves recognition.
Broader reissue deserved

Natural Orthodoxy - Legacies of Rust is really good and for sure deserves recognition and a broader reissue. I got my tape from NBM this week, maybe there's still one left. Edition of only 75 is surely not enough for quality like this.
I really like the already mentioned 'variation in vocal performance'.

Cheers for the kind words everyone!

There will be a new Natural Orthodoxy tape on Phage Tapes later this year. Currently just waiting for the final masters and Sam Phage is doing the artwork.

You can hear one track here: https://soundcloud.com/naturalorthodoxy/new-british-empires-from-industrial-action/s-OOAK8

I've leaned into some older industrial influences on this release, which will be apparent when the full thing is released. Unlike Legacies, this one was recorded at home but I'm very pleased with the outcome. Lyrical themes are similar- postwar Britain up to the modern day, in all its cannibalistic, self destructive glory.

New album streaming here https://naturalorthodoxy.bandcamp.com/album/industrial-action

To purchase the tape (UK/EU) email hatecof@gmail.com

US folks buy directly from Phage Tapes.

Knifedoutofexistence played here in Notts UK very recently and were great, they played with Nacht und Nebel and I felt the project had matured loads since they last played with Cremation Lily, bought some bits and reviewed them. 2nd time I had seen them here.

Got that record and a few tapes from KOOE, great stuff. I do (occasionally) find the vocals a little cringy though.

Aside from Iron Fist of the Sun< Cremation Lily, Nacht un Nebel, Knifed Out of Existence, ACL and Shift, any good current or old projects to recommend?

SiClark

Natural orthodoxy is definitely one to listen to. And ZSS as well are superb.

ScumFC is a tidy project

Found it just now, thanks for that, much appreciated. That looks well rough, might hit Discogs next payday.
