The weekly compendium 04/10/2013

You may have noticed it was a slightly shot week here at IVM, that's because yours truly was down in London for the 'Best Of British' event at Slimelight, which you'll be able to read about next week. However that didn't stop us from getting plenty up on the site for you.

The first of our news stories concerns the next event we're sponsoring, which is next Friday in Birmingham – so if you're in the area go and check it out! We also saw the brand new video from IIOIOIOII for their single 'Rising Sky', and vampyric synth-popes BlutEngel announced the release of their forthcoming live CD/DVD/Blu-Ray 'Once In A Lifetime'.

If that wasn't all we had a report from the Birmingham Alternative and Burlesque Fair featuring some nice photos from Dokka, as well as reviews of the new albums from Tactical Module and Solitary Experiments. Also some of you may have read my editorial column in which I gush about my all time favourite album 'October Rust' by Type O Negative.

While over on the facebook page we had a tour trailer courtesy of Atari Teenage Riot. A little plug for our columnist End: The DJ, and the news that electro-metallers Orgy have an IndieGoGo campaign to fund their next album... which I just hope recaptures some of the magic of 'Candyass'.

Right that's it for this week. I have photos to edit and features to write... So here's a little something to keep you company.
