Having founded the industrial-electro act genCAB<\/strong> in 2006, David Dutton put the group on hold following the release of their debut album \u2018II transMuter\u2019 two years later. A forward thinking record in the genre, it had blended elements of EBM and synth-pop into song arrangements perfectly suited for aggressive rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

genCAB eventually returned in 2022 with a long-awaited follow-up entitled \u2018Thoughts Beyond Words’, as well as the genre-bending \u2018Everything You See Is Mine\u2019 EP. These were promoted on a US tour with Aesthetic Perfection, for whom both Dutton and genCAB drummer Tim Van Horn had spent the intervening years playing live.

2023 saw genCAB sign to Metropolis Records, with the album \u2018Signature Flaws\u2019 appearing in the autumn. A meditation on one\u2019s own demise, it introduced elements of shoegaze and post-hardcore to an already dense melting pot of disparate sounds.

\u2018Let It Rip\u2019 is a new EP that precedes the cryptically entitled album \u2018III I II (THIRD EYE GEMINI)\u2019, due out in late September 2024. Half of the full-length record is a modern day update of the best material contained on their 2008 debut, with the remainder consisting of brand new songs inspired by the re-recordings.

An improvement in the genCAB sound was already apparent via a recent rework of the 2008 track \u2018Perish The Thought\u2019 released as a single in 2023, but everything else is also now amped up to 11. Although retaining a raw and fresh feel that is faithful to the original renditions, the songs have been completely restructured and are sung with more confidence and conviction than ever by Dutton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
