Caustic Grip's, "Beneath The Skin" revisits the old school industrial days!

Caustic Grip is the solo project of, Naarm, (Melbourne, Australia) based, trans musician Scarlett Shred. With the name taken from Front Line Assembly's fifth full length album, back in 1990, Caustic Grip delivers exactly the sound that their influences represent. Strong EBM bass lines based on the old school industrial patterns! But Scarlett Shred does not stop there. Caustic Grip incorporates other elements of multiple electronic and dark genres, creating a raw, aggressive and danceable track.

"Beneath The Skin" is taken out from the S/T mini album released in December 8th, 2023, via Slice Records where, along with the five tracks that concludes the release, someone can listen the diversity and the numerous genres and influences which are beautifully blended in it. Each track, including "Beneath The Skin", creates its own story, using some melodic parts in "Submerged", the FLA-ish "Jacues", the blitzing EBM beats and vocals in "Going Down" the cleverly arranged bass and synth lines in "Fvtvre Corpze" and the dark melodic outro of the album with the "Asunder".

 

"Dark rhythmically charged electro-industrial. Bleak lyrical imagery. A synth charged, boot stomping assault of harsh infectious rhythm, melodic hooks and baritone voice.

 A heady mixture of multiple Industrial genres, darkwave, electro pop, goth and electronic body music, the EP reaches dark new depths of sonic depravity, textural exploration and bleak lyrical imagery. A synth charged, boot stomping assault of harsh infectious rhythm, melodic hooks and baritone voice."
