Synth metal is right up my alley and I’d call Carpenter Brut the king of it.
Few tracks I’d recommend in particular:
Hairspray Hurricane
Turbo Killer
Le Perv
There’s way more than that but that’s a good start. Of his albums, Trilogy is more synth, Leather Teeth is middle, and Leather Terror is more metal, but all of them go extremely hard
Carpenter Brut?
Is there a box PC version of the standard edition? Even if it’s just a game code in the box, I like the other stuff physical copies usually come with
I’ve actually found myself surprised at how my brain doesn’t hear that was weird. I personally find it very natural. Maybe it’s because I was read a lot of stories verbally as a kid?
Elevenlabs is incredible but yeah it’s not there 100% for audiobook purposes I think. I trained it on an audiobook from one of my favorite narrators and had it read from another book. It sounded just like the guy but the intonations and mannerisms just weren’t quite there to match the text.
It’s weird. When there’s just one narrator and they do different voices for different characters I don’t think twice about it but I can still tell the characters apart by voice alone. But when there’s an entirely different person’s voice my attention gets mildly distracted by it. It’s similar to when sometimes books will have a random sentence read out by someone different than the narrator, probably a post recording correction.
That being said it’s usually pretty few and far between when I come across an audiobook book with multiple narrators, and usually it’s per section of the book (maybe from the perspective of different characters) rather than switching mid dialogue between characters

It’s an open source model viewer. What makes it really cool is that it handles models easily from explorer, loading them instantly when you open the file & it even generated thumbnails for the files too
Glad you like it! I’m curious which singer you are referring to since as far as I know all the vocals in Carpenter Brut songs are via collaboration.
Some other of my favourite songs from him:
The Good Old Call
Vances De 87 (Carpenter Brut Remix)
Lipstick Masquerade
MANIAC
Looking for Tracy Tzu
Listen to the first song in Trilogy, “Escape from Midwich valley”. It starts out like of slow but the end perfectly sets up the rest of the album as very heavy synth
Be careful driving while listening to CB, driving under the speed limit may be an effort in futility while you listen!
Also, if you listen to Leather Terror, there’s 2 songs in there that have to be played back to back and its unbelievably hard. That would be Day Stalker and Night Prowler. Try listening to them back to back. Night Prowler starts extremely heavy
