Caustic’s music is for the fucked. It’s for the best people whose heads tell them they’re the worst people. It’s for the people who feel ugly on the inside. It’s for the people bullied for their size, too big or too small, for how they dress, for what they like. Caustic’s music is for the addicts, the alcoholics, for people out of control but still hope to get it together. Caustic is for the freaks—not the people that call themselves freaks just to feel cool and get crazy on a Saturday night—no, for the actual outcasts. For the uninvited. For the good people that don’t feel comfortable in their skin or can’t find a place to call home. Caustic’s music is for the minorities— For the gay kids, the bi kids, and the trans kids. It’s for the furries and Bronies and anyone with a weird fetish that doesn’t hurt anyone but it gets them off. I don’t give a shit what you’re into as long as you’re happy. My music is barely accepted in the genre it’s in. It’s an oasis in a miasma of mediocre dance music and fashion over substance. It’s an ally in exposing the hypocrisy of a scene that takes itself too seriously and yet offers little reason to take it seriously. Caustic has no right to succeed. Yet it does. Because we stick together. Because the fucked can rise up and make their own islands, and mostly because we can ignore the bullshit and have our own fun. Thanks for listening. Thanks for giving me a home.

Top Albums of 2013:

I’m warning you now, my music tastes are all over the damn place, so I may focus on one genre more than others, and that’s okay. If not? Make your own damn list so I can grouse about yours.

1. “Matangi” - M.I.A. Seriously. Listen to it. It will have you on some girl gang shit; partying and fucking up everything.

Recommended tracks: Matangi, Bad Girls

2. “The Methuselah Tree” - iVardensphere. Really solid album. Tribal industrial music is pretty much an experience unto itself, but it's definitely worth it. Side note: listen to those two albums back to back. It’s an amazing experience.

Recommended tracks: Snakecharmer, Eclipse

3. "How I Learned To Stop Giving A Shit And Love Mindless Self Indulgence" - MSI. For people that know me, and I mean really know me..I never was too huge of an MSI fan. But this album actually made me like that scrawny bastard Jimmy. Odd. 

Recommended tracks: Ala Mode, Hey Tomorrow Fuck You And Your Friend Yesterday

4. "Filofobia" - Amduscia. If you want some heavy, harsh Mexican industrial? These are the go-to guys. Put on your best shitkicker boots and have at it while listening to this album.

Recommended tracks: Dig Your Grave, Where Is Your God?

5. "Companion in Crime" - Funker Vogt

Yeah, yeah..I know. Funker Vogt; singing about the same ish, etc. But this one? Pretty damn good. Hell, I couldn't even remember the last album they came out with, and this one? Man, this gave me some serious club flashbacks; blending old school with new school. 

Recommended Tracks: Six Feet Under, Kampf der Maschinen

6. "We Came To Wreck Everything" - Ludovico Technique

Just listen to it, dammit. 

Recommended tracks: Wired For Destruction (God Module), Then I Found You (Shiv-r)

7. "Magna Carter Holy Grail" - Jay-Z. Ha. I tossed rap into this. Anyway, Jay Z really could have stayed retired and not really have needed to put this out. However, I can't say that I wasn't grateful for it. His wordplay level is still sharp, not quite 'Life and Times' sharp, but still can get the most stubborn of heads nodding. 

Recommended tracks: Tom Ford, Picasso Baby

8. "The Machinists of Joy" - Die Krupps

I can't believe I wrote that. But seriously, the album is pretty good, as long as you keep an open mind about it. Just do me a favor; skip over 'Robo-Sapien'. 

Recommended tracks: Risikofaktor, Essenbeck

9. "The Cortex Zero Effect" - Massiv in Mensch

I'm gonna level with you; this album is all over the place. It starts off with some slow synthpop, then it's gets into dancy EBM, and almost every point in between. And I enjoyed every moment of it. 

Recommended tracks: The Cortex Zero Effect, On My Way To Oblivion

10. "Transnational" - VNV Nation

As much as I like to make fun of Ronan (come on, it's too easy in a way), you can tell these guys actually put a lot of work into this. They still enjoy their club anthems here and there, but sometimes the slower stuff can be good for the contemplative moments. So there's my grudging respect for Ronan and Mark. Meh. lol

Recommended tracks: Retaliate, Aeroscope

Other albums I liked but didn't feel like going in depth about:

'Big Bad Wolf EP' - Aesthetic Perfection 'Eric Gottesman' and 'Marco Visconti EP' - The Causticles There are probably others, but this is what you get when I write stuff after working around banking regulations for 8+ hours.
