Sinthetik Messiah drops new single, ‘They Call Us Freaks’ – Out now
Sinthetik Messiah
Louisiana’s industrial bass artist Sinthetik Messiah has unleashed the first single, “They Call Us Freaks“, from the upcoming album, “Red Line”. Released in collaboration with the German EDM label, Plasmapool, the track musically went in a genre-bending direction. It explores how, in the ’90s, goth and alternative individuals were labeled “freaks” by those who viewed themselves as “normal”.
Behind Sinthetik Messiah we find the Cajun songwriter and sound designer, Bug Gigabyte. The name is a misspelling of the of the term ‘synthetic messiah’, which is the pronunciation used by the band.
The forthcoming album “Red Line” will mix elements from rhythmic noise, bass house, techno, trance, electro house, and industrial dance. “This release embodies the essence of underground electronic music, with throbbing basslines, pulsating beats, and layers of distorted synths that create an immersive and intense sonic experience”, so Bug Gigabyte says.
