Brooklyn, New York’s one-man industrial force has announced the release of his sophomore album FLAGRANT, arriving November 14th, 2025 via Bleakhouse, the label founded by industrial/hardcore powerhouse King Yosef. Recorded at Corpus Studios in Queens with Harlan Steed of Show Me The Body, the album was produced and mixed by Trace Amount and mastered by Kris Lapke (Cold Cave, Prurient).
Ahead of the release, the new single Clinical, features guest vocals from Lana Del Rabies, and arrives accompanied by an official video that pairs live tour footage from a recent Mexico City performance with raw soundboard audio captured at the show.
Trace Amount's Brandon Gallagher comments: "Through the nature of collaboration with various artists, the overall sound has dipped into different sub genres – whether that's EBM, darkwave, post-punk, drone, or power electronics. There is definitely a dub influence, inspired in part by Mick Harris' work in Scorn, and I am always subconsciously influenced by hip-hop production because that's 80% of what I actually listen to on a daily basis."
Gallagher wears his athletic influences like a second skin. He’s the one to embrace the imprint of sports and gym culture on Trace Amount, a project pulsing with relentless energy. At live shows, he can be found draped in hockey, soccer, and basketball jerseys. "With the threat of civil war or another global virus," he says, "yeah, you should probably be able to run a mile and then lift yourself up over a fence, because who knows what the fuck is going to happen. My music is designed to be your gym soundtrack."
Clinical seethes like an open wound. Gallagher’s voice tears through the track with the gravity of self-destruction, delivered like a clenched fist. The production is suffocating, arriving with industrial grit and precision, including Lana Del Rabies’ ghostly vocal which lingers like a spectral presence.
There is absolutely no doubt that FLAGRANT is going to hit hard.
