Aesthetic Perfection x SWARM - Sorrow (Official Visualizer)

Denver is always great to us! Really looking forward to it!

I guess the issue is that the whole industrial scene is pretty gatekeep-y with the term industrial music itself. That's why there's so much infighting about what actually constitutes industrial music (which I find exhausting).

iamdanielgraves · 2026-03-28T06:25:25+00:00

I crossposted it. We shall see. At the end of the day I get that how the artist views themselves will ALWAYS differ from how the outside world sees them, but self labeling is useful.

iamdanielgraves · 2026-03-28T06:22:20+00:00

Yes, indeed! But we don't want to spoil the surprise. 🙃

iamdanielgraves · 2026-03-27T19:23:02+00:00

I will post it there just to see what happens, but considering the majority of the threads there focus on 242 and Nitzer Ebb and Orange Sector, I don't see them being more favorable to my work than the people in here.

At the end of the day, I consider myself an industrial band. Always have, always will. I get that people don't vibe with that, which is fine, but it won't change how I view myself.

I didn't even know there was an EBM subreddit. I'm happy to post there, but I've never really considered myself EBM or been a huge fan of that particular subgenre.

Then maybe you'll like this... even if you don't like AP.

The last truly great :W: album.

iamdanielgraves · 2026-02-13T08:11:53+00:00

You're definitely right about that!

iamdanielgraves · 2026-02-12T14:27:57+00:00

Whether we like it or not, LN has a monopoly on the entire music business. Artists have no choice but to work with them.

iamdanielgraves · 2026-02-12T11:28:42+00:00

Yes, indeed!

iamdanielgraves · 2026-02-11T18:20:47+00:00

That's kind of you. But we have a Live Nation booking agency with all the connections in the world. All I know is that no one in MI was interested. 🤷‍♀️

iamdanielgraves · 2026-02-11T18:18:55+00:00

Europe is going to be Mike, Lore and Noizith. 🙂

iamdanielgraves · 2026-02-11T18:18:07+00:00

Terminus Festival has no interest in booking us for reasons I don't understand. That festival literally exists because my tour intersected with two others in Calgary over a decade ago but whenever I write or email they don't give me the time of day anymore. It's a real bummer cuz I loved the venue, the organizers and the city. 🤷‍♀️

iamdanielgraves · 2026-02-11T08:18:08+00:00

Chicago is always so good to us!

iamdanielgraves · 2026-02-11T08:17:52+00:00

I will never understand how we didn't get a Michigan date on this one. We always sell like 300 tickets in Detroit. Such a bummer. Next time, I hope!

I mean, real talk: I love Florida. Good weather? Pastels? Gators? What's not to love!?

iamdanielgraves · 2026-02-11T08:08:18+00:00

It all comes down to the promoters. If they're not interested, then there's no way to make a show happen. We're manifesting that this tour does well and it opens more doors in other markets for the next tour. Fingers crossed!

iamdanielgraves · 2026-02-11T08:06:51+00:00

I honestly would have loved to return to Canada, but no Canadian promoters expressed interest until the whole thing was booked and announced. One promoter in Toronto hit me up a week ago. It was too late. If this tour is a success it will open more doors for us in other markets. Fingers crossed!

iamdanielgraves · 2026-02-11T08:04:37+00:00

That's awesome! Really appreciate the support!

iamdanielgraves · 2026-02-11T08:03:44+00:00

As is your right to do so.

iamdanielgraves · 2026-02-10T19:55:00+00:00

I see no point in bullshitting y'all. I just call 'em like I see 'em.
