Released only several months after the 'Year of the Female Artists' as dubbed
by the music media, Diva X Machina serves to showcase the strong feminine
presence on Industrial music. These sixteen artists show all sides of the more
diverse gender. From the strong aggressive roles taken by Karen Kendall on
Razor Skyline's, 'Queen of Heaven' and Beatmistress on Deathride 69's, 'Fucked
Up Generation', to the more alluring sounds of Andrea DiNapoli on Venus Walk's
'Red, Black and Blue', it is obvious that female artists refuse to be
stereotyped. Oddly enough it has taken almost two decades for these strong
feminine roles to finally manifest themselves even with the presence of Cosey
Fan Tutti in Throbbing Gristle all those years ago. Yet, many of these bands
have recently taken the scene by storm grabbing up record contracts faster then
their brethren. Gone are the days when female vocalists were relegated to
warbling backing vocals and instead these bands have chosen to barge ahead to
shatter all previous misconceptions.
