Chri$tian Gate$ returns and jumps right into the depths of industrial grounds. His new single, “TOXIC,” featuring the unique voice of Dutch Melrose, is a high-voltage shock to the system that crackles with the raw intensity that is genre-defying and growing in the opposite direction.
“TOXIC” pulls listeners into its dark, hypnotic space from the opening guitar riff. The bassline thumps like a nervous heartbeat, a live organ throbbing, undercutting lyrics that cut with introspection. Gate$ sings, roars, fidgets, and pours out every last drop into each bar until every word sounds like a confession delivered under barbed wire.
Dutch Melrose’s contribution provides another layer of depth, fitting perfectly into the song’s relentless energy. The chemistry between these two artists feels electric around you, their voices crisscrossing back and forth throughout the song’s decadent industrial surface with a mystical harmony. And this is an articulation, a natural descent into the chaos of either a toxic relationship or a shattered state of mind.
