Synthetic Breed

Synthetic Breed來自于澳大利亞維多利亞州首府墨爾本市，他們將Metal這種風格帶上了新的軌道。他們稱自己的風格是CYBER METAL，這個詞真不知道怎么翻譯，還有稱其為Techno Metal的，這個好理解多了。音樂中混合電子設備的獨特聲音，大致像是Fear Factory經(jīng)典的專輯Obsolete的感覺，但是神經(jīng)質(zhì)的RIFF要比前者兇猛的多，就好像Meshuggah+Fear Factory。還有值得一提的是鼓手Daniel Luttick，其實在他之前已經(jīng)換過至少兩個鼓手了。在Mathcore的音樂中鼓手是極其重要的角色，通過節(jié)奏的重音變化營造混亂不和諧的氛圍，Synthetic Breed的現(xiàn)場里Daniel Luttick除了傳統(tǒng)的聲學鼓以外還要使用Drum Machine(鼓機)加上吉他手Vincent Zylstra的音效編程就有了冰冷的科技味道了。這樣又有技術又有能力的樂手是音樂創(chuàng)造力的關鍵。相信他們會隨著意識的日漸成熟而創(chuàng)造出不同與以往的新的風格?。?br />SYNTHETIC BREED : Formed in Melbourne , Australia 2001
THE MUSIC:
Synthetic Breed's music, which the band refers to as CYBER METAL, is the brain child of Vincent Zylstra. At its core are aggressive guitar and drum based songs using non standard time signatures and poly-rhythms.
CYBER-METAL:
The concept of cyber-metal alludes to mankind's identity becoming ever more intertwined into the fabric of the machine it has created, increasingly losing its humanity in that process.
BIOGRAPHY
Pre-History:
While some of the songs still played today originated in the days before the name Synthetic Breed was coined (eg. Cybernetics and Neuro Connectivity ), the band really became the entity it is today after Reza Nasseri (ex Bind ) and Jonas Bahlo (ex Universal Workshop , Mudfat , Radiodirt ) joined the line up in 2001 and 2002 respectively. Due to the lack of a suitably dedicated drummer or vocalist it was not until the 13 th of June 2003 that Synthetic Breed appeared live, and even then it was with a drum machine. Synthetic Breed were supporting Animism , Apocolypse.com and Tribal Clown at the Arthouse, Melbourne , Australia.
Synthetic drummer :
Throughout Synthetic Breed’s inception the band found it difficult to find a suitable drummer. Equally difficult, it was challenging to stay inspired in the rehearsal studio for months if not years at a time. This is what may have contributed to a high member turnover rate during Synthetic Breed’s infancy.
To keep things interesting and to give the band a reason to rehearse. The decision was made to play onstage utilizing a well programmed drum machine. The drummer-less performance was also to serve as a mobile advertisement.
