BRUSSELS, BELGIUM — Leading the charge of the "hyperrock" movement, Belgian art-rock visionary Jesus Cringe has officially released his latest single and cinematic companion piece, "Disastrology." Arriving via Epictronic Records, the track serves as a profound meditation on the collapse of the terrestrial and the inevitable migration of the spirit into the void. The title "DISASTROLOGY" is freely inspired by The Science of Sleep (Michel Gondry) and the hypnotic rhythm of Koyaanisqatsi. The track eschews traditional rock tropes. In a bold architectural move, Jesus Cringe replaces the standard guitar/bass foundation with the haunting interplay of violin and baritone saxophone, creating a soundscape that is as abrasive as it is orchestral. The accompanying music video is a visual odyssey that mirrors the track's philosophical weight. It follows a solitary protagonist witnessing the environmental and social collapse of Earth. In a final act of transcendence, the character escapes into the cosmos, where his physical form dissolves into stardust, a striking metaphor for the project’s recurring themes of human consciousness merging with the digital and spiritual infinite. Since signing with Epictronic in early 2023, Jesus Cringe (the evolution of the acclaimed 22 for Silicon Alone) has garnered international praise from tastemakers including Prog Rock Journal, Metal Shock Finland, and Tinnitist. With "Disastrology," the project further cements its reputation for delivering "hyperrock", an immersive experience where avant-garde rock, sci-fi cinema, and sophisticated arrangements collide. |
