Chicago’s industrial-themed Cold Waves festival will return for a seventh installment this September, joined not just by the Los Angeles edition that debuted last year, but a New York City variation as well — with all three of the multi-day events headlined by Skinny Puppy spinoff ohGr.

Record Rack: A round-up of the week’s new albums, expanded reissues and/or box sets, appearing each Monday on Slicing Up Eyeballs. All releases due out this Friday unless noted. This week’s releases include titles from They Might Be Giants, Meat Beat Manifesto, Mudhoney and Book of Love.

As it approaches its sixth year in Chicago, industrial-music festival Cold Waves has announced its inaugural Los Angeles edition, a two-day event featuring Stabbing Westward, Revolting Cocks (performing 1986’s Big Sexy Land), Front Line Assembly, Meat Beat Manifesto and more.

Electronic-music guru Jack Dangers will take his long-running alter ego Meat Beat Manifesto out on the road in February for a short North American tour in support of the just-released ‘Answers Come in Dreams.’

This week’s new releases include a new live CD/DVD set from Depeche Mode, the belated U.S. CD release of Nitzer Ebb’s ‘Industrial Complex,’ a new 2CD compilation from Einstürzende Neubauten and the 10th studio album from Meat Beat Manifesto.
