Austin electro-industrial duo Dread Risks return with ‘Invertebrate’
Austin electro-industrial duo Dread Risks just released the digital single “Invertebrate” via the Oklahoma-based label Re:Mission Entertainment. The single comes accompanied by the “Invertebrate video” and the B-side “Where You Left (Snowbeasts Remix)”.
The new track is moving into new territories with the band adopting a melodic and strained, electro-industrial formula. On mixing and mastering duties we find Illuminox on track one, while Snowbeasts mixed the remix and Illuminox mastered it.
The single follows “Where You Left”, which we covered on March 6, 2026 as Dread Risks’ first new release since “hellhymn”, issued on August 1, 2025.
