Travis Sedg Bacon is preparing a new solo release by the name of “Industrial Blues” for July 10th. While known for his work fronting industrial goth metal band CONTRACULT, Bacon‘s lineage also continues to pique interest. Travis is the son of famous actors Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick.
“Industrial Blues” aims to marry the two genres its namesake implies. The song “Dopamine” represents his first sampling of that to be shared, with a stream available below.
In other news, Travis also stars as a death metal musician in ‘Family Movie‘, a new horror comedy film directed by his father, which also features members of the Bacon family. Travis is a member of the fictional death metal band, ‘Obscure Death‘ in that film.
He invited his Contracult bandmate Nicholas Emde, as well as Ghostemane, Raeph Glicken (Black Anvil/Kill Your Idols) and Samantha Mobley (Frozen Soul) to flesh out that band onscreen. Bacon also composed original music for that film, which received its first screening last month at ‘SXSW‘.
