Staytus: Redefining the Sound of Modern Industrial Music

Musician. Artist. Producer. These words are often overused, but Staytus— the musical alter-ego of recording visionary Sam Grundemann—embodies all three in a way that defies convention. With each release, she pushes the boundaries of sound, emotion, and storytelling, crafting immersive sonic landscapes that captivate and unsettle.

Her latest single, “Suburban Gothic”, the second track in her series, takes inspiration from Matthew Gray Gubler’s cult-classic horror films. Produced by Matt McJunkins (A Perfect Circle, Puscifer), the song blends electro-industrial and nu-metal elements with Twisted Frames eerie, deeply personal lyrics about paranoia, fear, and confronting the past. “Suburban Gothic” follows “68 Kill”, an unapologetically raw track that explored emotional manipulation and reclaiming one’s power, further showcasing Staytus’ unfiltered approach to songwriting.

Before launching the Twisted Frames series, Staytus gained attention with “Can You Hear Me?”, produced by Sean Beavan (Nine Inch Nails, Slayer), which tackled themes of isolation and inner turmoil. She continues to build momentum following her 2022 debut Disease of the Mind and her sophomore album Wasteland of Broken Hearts.

At the intersection of cutting-edge production and raw emotional storytelling, Staytus transforms trauma, heartbreak, and resilience into sound—offering an intense, non-neurotypical perspective that speaks to a generation navigating darkness and self-discovery. With her boundary-pushing vision and fearless sonic experimentation, Staytus is carving out a space as one of the most compelling voices in modern industrial music.

"...If you write and can afford it,
let seven men write your poem.
one, who builds a marble village,
one, who was born in his sleep,
one, who charts the sky and knows it,
one, whom words call by his name,
one, who perfected his soul,
one, who dissects living rats.
two are brave and four are wise;
you yourself must be the seventh..."

the seventh - józsef attila

THANKYOUFORVISITINGME

Sound fragments, field recordings, radio transmissions and the secret soundscapes of machines and building structures are taken apart and reconfigured. The work presented here is the result of such explorations into the sonics of analogue and digital materiality. The music takes the listener on audiological expeditions into uncharted territories. I’m interested in all kinds of collaboration, get in touch if you would like to exchange ideas and/or praxis.
... and thanks for listening!
