Certainly, but maybe those beings had the right idea all along. Even Lovecraft thought so, since often there were happy vibrant communities of people working with the beings, while the protagonists were tortured nerds.

We actually don't know, perhaps the second half is just a picture of this accursed thing and drives people mad as soon as they gaze upon it.

The utterly banal first half is, of course, just the context needed to truly comprehend the insanity.

I'd say they're more synthwave than industrial.

If Carpenter Brut isn't synthwave, nothing is synthwave.

Went to their show once and they had an actual industrial act for an opener, there was very little common ground besides volume.

For sure, but it's like satirizing 80s horror movies. While also being a live performance, and a music video.

You should see the video for Hairspray Hurricane. It's wall to wall ultraviolence and naked women, frequently at the same time. YouTube refused to host it unless it was edited - but just for nudity, not for things like someone taking an elbow spike to the face. So they submitted a revised version where every naked person was censored with a gun, and it was accepted.
