Having founded the industrial-electro act genCAB in 2006, David Dutton put the group on hold following the release of its debut album, II transMuter, two years later. A forward-thinking record in the genre, blending elements of EBM and synth-pop into song arrangements, perfectly suited for aggressive rock.

genCAB eventually returned in 2022 with a long-awaited follow-up, Thoughts Beyond Words, and the genre-bending Everything You See Is Mine EP. These got promoted on a US tour with Aesthetic Perfection, for whom Dutton and genCAB drummer Tim Van Horn had spent the intervening years playing live.

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

Let It Rip is a new EP that precedes the cryptically entitled album III I II (Third Eye Gemini), due on 20 September. Half of the full-length record is a modern-day update of the best material of the band's 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 "Perish The Thought" 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 sung with more confidence and conviction than ever by Dutton.
