The dark electro force Stabbed By Prongs, the studio project of electronic musician and producer Craig Drabik, has returned with a new full‑length offering, Static Skin, accompanied by a gripping lyric video for the track “Corpus.” Drawing from EBM, electro, and the harsher edges of 90s industrial, Drabik shapes six volatile soundscapes where dancefloor energy collides with emotional disintegration.

Longtime collaborators Ry White, Andy Breton, Kimberly Kornmeier (Bow Ever Down), and Lail Brown once again join the project, with newcomer Gabrielle Emerson adding fresh texture to the album’s dual‑vocal dynamic. Together, they expand Stabbed By Prongs’ sonic identity into something sharper, darker, and more psychologically charged.

At the heart of Static Skin lies a deep exploration of human relationships and the fractures that define them. The opening track “Corpus” blends a moody S&M atmosphere with themes of imposter syndrome and internal conflict. “Another Realm” captures the ache and distance of long‑distance longing, while “Violent Delights” — the album’s first single — confronts the emotional devastation of intimacy with a malignant narcissist. Closing track “Fall Into Darkness” yearns for a love powerful enough to dissolve the self entirely.

Reflecting on the album’s structure, Drabik explains: “Static Skin seems to have two personalities split between the male and female vocalists. There’s a contrast between the thumpy, heavy aggression of tracks like ‘Corpus’ and ‘Big Fake World’ and the laid‑back electro‑trip‑hop of ‘Pyromancer.’ It gives the album more surface area to attract different kinds of listeners.”

With its blend of raw emotion, industrial grit, and electronic precision, Static Skin stands as Stabbed By Prongs’ most multifaceted release to date. Experience the lyric video for “Corpus” below and step into the album’s charged, fractured world. Link
