Caustic‘s Matt Fanale has always been hard to nail down as an electronic artist. Whether blasting sonic chaos in his first incarnation as a rhythmic noise punk or his later, broadening arch as more dancefloor-friendly, yet still confounding people with the wild variety of styles on his albums. There’s one thing that can easily be said about Caustic’s output: it’s never boring. And while the styles may change, the creative curiosity remains constant, as does Fanale’s steadfast DIY ethos. After three years, Fanale is finally releasing his seventh full-length Caustic album, appropriately titled ‘Industrial Music’. Returning more to his original raw, visceral sound, ‘Industrial Music’ is in many ways Caustic coming full circle, but still moving forward. Gone is the shiny studio polish, as Fanale’s eye was on dragging you into back the pit with him and giving you the jagged, pounding industrial energy that originally put him on the map, inspired by the gritty late 80s American industrial scene.
