I found lots of mp3 files from bands mentioned in that article. Very often a certain CD is referenced, so don't be surprised if the "songs" you can download here don't sound very metal-like, if you are into black metalm (noise fans should give them a try also), try to get hold of a copy of the current WIRE issue and get the mentioned CD. Two of the featured record label are offering many mp3 downloads/streams. Go to :
