The US electro-industrial act genCAB have returned with a single entitled ‘Open Grave’ on Metropolis Records. A dancefloor confession that digs into a narrative of self-sabotage and quiet collapse, it demands to be heard as much as it begs to be ignored.
“The song explores the decay of our own undoing. I’m a self destructive person, and ‘Open Grave’ is about lying in my own mess that I create for myself,” explains group founder David Dutton. “Most of the advice we get is to keep our inner pain hidden and so we isolate further. So, here it is for everyone else to hear, whenever they feel like hearing it. This track is more accessible than some of my past work, and I think it complements a message that is universal. At the end of the day, sometimes life is as simple as a dance track and an easy outlet to lose yourself. Who knows what’s left when you tear yourself apart, but at least it’s an honest practice.”
The first new music by genCAB in 2025, ‘Open Grave’ has been made available together with an ‘Unsolved Remix’ by labelmate Lost Signal and a cover version of ‘Last’, a 1992 song by Nine Inch Nails.
