Jesus Cringe Returns With Surreal New Single “Unhinged Byproduct”

Emerging from the avant-garde shadows of the Belgian space-art rock scene, JESUS CRINGE today releases its second single, "Unhinged Byproduct", a satirical, surrealist odyssey taken from the forthcoming album, due via Epictronic Records. More info coming soon!

Where most artists try to seem larger than life, JESUS CRINGE goes further — and stranger. "Unhinged Byproduct" opens on a vision of excess and self-destruction, the artist reimagined as a consumer product rolling off a factory assembly line. Hangover-dazed and hypnotized by television static, the protagonist takes the form of a mass-produced doll — caught in a claw machine, rejected by a disappointed couple, packaged as shrink-wrapped meat in a supermarket fridge. Just before the heat is turned up, he escapes. The finale reveals what started it all: a flashback to the night before, the artist dancing wildly beside two robot vacuum cleaners crowned with disco balls.

It's absurdist. It's precise. It's unmistakably JESUS CRINGE.

"A time of excess, self-destruction, and downfall — a satirical and surreal vision of the artist as a consumer product."
— JESUS CRINGE

"Unhinged Byproduct" is available now on all major streaming platforms.

About Jesus Cringe

JESUS CRINGE is a Belgian cinematic space-art rock project — reborn from the ashes of 22 for Silicon Alone — built around intense visual worlds and philosophical storytelling. Rooted in pre-rock tradition, the project replaces the conventional guitar/bass duo with violin and baritone saxophone, creating a sonic identity that defies easy categorization. Themes of altered states, identity, and human consciousness in a digitalized world run throughout the work.

After years of meticulous underground development, JESUS CRINGE caught the attention of Epictronic Records, leading to an official signing in early 2023. The debut album unfolds as a vast narrative soundscape — part dystopian fable, part personal confession — drawing from sci-fi cinema and avant-garde rock traditions. Singles including "Only Dark Matters" and "In Every Terms" have showcased the project's haunting lyricism and sophisticated arrangements, wrapped in visually striking music videos exploring disconnection, memory, and existential tension.

The project has earned international recognition, with features in Metal Shock Finland, Tinnitist, MHF Magazine, Headbangers News, and Prog Rock Journal, alongside airplay on Unsigned Radio UK, WTSQ FM, Nu Rock Radio, Diverse World Music Radio, and Rockers and Other Animals.

More than a band, JESUS CRINGE is a hyperrock experience — standing at the frontier of modern art-rock through immersive visuals, conceptual narratives, and an uncompromising artistic vision.
