After a three-year hiatus, Texas industrial/rock group CHMCL STR8JCKT returns with their new album, IV-Rx, set for digital release on October 17. This marks the first album featuring keyboardist/producer John Bechdel as an official member, alongside frontman Kevin Snell and Mike C. With 11 tracks showcasing a power trio vibe, IV-Rx comes after their 2022 EP, Rest My Chemistry, and promises a dark sonic evolution. Bechdel, known for his work with MINISTRY and other notable bands, adds depth to their sound.
Given the significant changes in the band’s lineup and sound, how do you think these new dynamics will influence their musical direction moving forward?
