The irreverent, shape-shifting space rock project Jesus Cringe returns with “No Man’s Gland,” the third single from the project’s forthcoming album, out today. The release lands just three days after “Unhinged Byproduct,” which dropped on Good Friday: a deliberate, liturgical rhythm that mirrors the album’s central arc, descent, suspension, and the decision to return now willing to face life even through odd times.

Like each of the project’s singles, “No Man’s Gland” is released on a key date in the Christian calendar: Easter Monday. This new chapter embodies the near-death experience and the return to life.

The music video translates this liminal passage — shifting between aerial drone and onboard perspectives, creating a sustained sensation of floating and dissociation. The movement itself becomes the narrative: ascent, out-of-body experience, observation, return.
At its center, the character breathes fire before passing through a structure reminiscent of an airport security gate. A body scanner — but an existential one. It doesn’t detect objects. It probes the soul.

No Man’s Gland is a triumphant resurrection, yet depicted as a fragile moment, an initiatory journey into the unknown, where the choice to return is posed. Easter Monday becomes the symbol of an inner renewal: inner glory in a newfound awareness that love is the only possible way forward.

“No Man’s Gland” 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.

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.

Epictronic is thrilled to announce the signing of Red Sky, the enigmatic masked rapper-guitarist whose boundary-pushing “Kintsugi Music” fuses rap, metal, and global influences into something entirely his own. The artist’s highly anticipated album “Nostalgia del Futuro” drops worldwide on May 29, 2026.

For 15 years, Red Sky has been carving out a unique space in the music landscape, one where Linkin Park meets Caparezza, where metal riffs collide with Japanese poetry, and where personal struggle becomes universal art. With 14 albums, millions of social media views, and stages shared with Italian rap heavyweights like Jesto, Shade, and Rayden, Red Sky has built a devoted following that transcends genre.

A Philosophy Forged in Fire and Gold

Red Sky calls his approach “Kintsugi Music”, named after the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, making the fractures beautiful rather than hidden. It’s a perfect metaphor for music that transforms outsider experiences, cultural displacement, and existential questioning into something powerful and complete.
Singing in both Italian and Japanese, Red Sky explores what it means to protect your inner fire in a world that demands conformity. His lyrics resonate with anyone who’s ever felt like they don’t quite fit, and anyone who’s refused to dim their light because of it.

“Nostalgia del Futuro”: A Sonic Odyssey

The new album takes its title from Maxwell Maltz’s Psycho-Cybernetics, embracing the concept of “nostalgia for the future”, longing not for what was, but for who we’re meant to become. Created just before Red Sky’s move to Japan (the one place where he finally feels at home), the album is both a farewell and a manifesto.
Musically, Nostalgia del Futuro is fearless: black metal bleeds into reggae, techno pulses beneath traditional Japanese instrumentation, and Arabic textures add unexpected depth to the metal foundation. The result is a deeply personal fusion that mirrors Red Sky’s own cross-cultural journey—Western anger meeting Eastern spirituality, Italian passion colliding with Japanese restraint.
Thematically, the album digs deep: life, death, aging, family, self-esteem, and the complexities of modern Italian society. It’s introspective without being insular, specific without losing universality.

First Single “Il Paese Dell’Arte” Out Now

The journey begins with “Il Paese Dell’Arte” (The Country of Art), a stunning introduction to Red Sky’s world, complete with a visually arresting music video that captures the artist’s theatrical, masked aesthetic.

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.

“Disastrology” is available now on all major streaming platforms.
