Flaming Fish consistently puts out high quality industrial music. It's not often that they come knocking on HM's door with an album in tow, requesting strong marketing information. When they do, we automatically know that we're dealing with that wonderful music known as guitar dominated industrial (or "industro-metal" for short). Cult Of Jester, with its curious Japanese imagery and tasteful packaging, represent the scene well. Energy, creativity, crisp production... It's all jiggy. If you're curious, pop in the Hard Music Sampler CD from the last issue and check out "Harvester."

The Phantom Tollbooth 2001Reviewed by Tony LaFianzaCult of Jester's latest release is selling very well at Flaming Fish for good reason. Plenty of electronics will keep the industrial fan happy, but this record is driven by the hard rocking guitar sound that Ed Finkler has gone to for this outing. Finkler has not only brought up the guitar with productive results, but the vocals are front and center; and, as it turns out, that was a good move,…Similar sounding releases
