genCAB issues ‘Open Grave’ single via Metropolis Records
genCAB
US electro-industrial act genCAB releases the new single “Open Grave” today, 31 October 2025, via Metropolis Records. Founder David Dutton says this about the new 3-track single: “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,” adding that “sometimes life is as simple as a dance track and an easy outlet to lose yourself.”
The digital single has 3 tracks, the title track, a remix by Lost Signal and a cover of the Nine Inch Nails track “Last”. The single arrives as the project’s first 2025 release and follows the 2024 album “III I II (Third Eye Gemini).”
About genCAB
This is the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based project of David Dutton. The group’s debut album, “II transMuter,” appeared in 2008, combining EBM and synth-pop within rock-oriented song structures. Following the debut, Dutton placed genCAB on hold while he and Tim Van Horn (drums) toured as live musicians with Aesthetic Perfection.
genCAB reactivated in 2020, issuing the album “Thoughts Beyond Words” in January 2022 and the EP “Everything You See Is Mine” later that year.
2023 saw the Metropolis release “Signature Flaws,” followed in 2024 by the EP “Let It Rip” and the full-length “III I II (Third Eye Gemini)”, the latter split between newly re-recorded material rooted in the 2008 era and new compositions inspired by those updates.
