Caustic

Matt Fanale (a.k.a. Caustic) obliterates speakers with his vicious, beat-heavy “jizzcore” almost as quickly as he inspires oncoming pedestrians to move to the opposite side of the street. But the prolific programmer—whose 2010 album …And You Will Know Me By The Trail Of Vomit features songs titled “The Saint Of Fuck-Ups” and “Chewing Glass At The Zoo”—is really a sweetheart with a sense of humor that's responsible for fun falsetto romps like “Lady Business” off 2009’s This Is Jizzcore. After putting out The Golden Vagina Of Fame And Profit in 2011, Caustic started a Kickstarter for a follow-up and eclipsed his goal of $2,500 by almost $13,000. Here he joins The Dark Clan, Null Device, and Sensuous Enemy to celebrate the release of Electronic Saviors II, a six-CD compilation set that donates all profits to colon cancer research.
