Insane Records is introducing a brand new project: KHMAR. KHMAR is the Techno/Industrial side-project by the Distorted World frontman Ivan M. and was founded in 2020 and now releases its first EP “Mrak” offering aggressive industrial rhythms with elements of mysticism and references to techno. “Cyberpunk aesthetics, coupled with eroticism and dirty wild dance in the dungeon”, as the band calls it.

The EP has four tracks as you can see below in the Bandcamp player.

Below are the YouTube videos for each track.

The 19th track on our free download compilation “Face The Beat: Session 4” (featuring 92 tracks) is by the Russian dark wave act Distorted World featuring harsh male and clean female vocals.

When their submission landed in our mailbox, we didn’t hesitate a second to accept them. The duo offers splendid dark wave / electropop which reminds of the best material from Technoir or yet Suicidal Romance.

Based in Moscow, Russia, the project was formed in 2010. The band’s first album “Between The Strophes” was released in 2012 and was followed by the single “Personal Necropolis” (2013). The band’s last studio output was the 2014 album “Shadow Empire”. Right now they are working on their third LP “Storm And Silence”.

You can find the band on VK and on Facebook. More than recommended!

Listen to “Cerulean Sea” below and download it right here.

Check our “Face The Beat: Session 4” page on Bandcamp to discover the other 91 bands. All donations will go to charity.

The release includes 2 new songs and also several remixes and the new version of song “Dream” taken from the project’s debut full length. The new EP will show some changes in the band’s music moving to different and a more melodic sound as you can hear. You can listen to it below and also order it.
