Synthetic Breed

Synthetic Breed来自于澳大利亚维多利亚州首府墨尔本市，他们将Metal这种风格带上了新的轨道。他们称自己的风格是CYBER METAL，这个词真不知道怎么翻译，还有称其为Techno Metal的，这个好理解多了。音乐中混合电子设备的独特声音，大致像是Fear Factory经典的专辑Obsolete的感觉，但是神经质的RIFF要比前者凶猛的多，就好像Meshuggah+Fear Factory。还有值得一提的是鼓手Daniel Luttick，其实在他之前已经换过至少两个鼓手了。在Mathcore的音乐中鼓手是极其重要的角色，通过节奏的重音变化营造混乱不和谐的氛围，Synthetic Breed的现场里Daniel Luttick除了传统的声学鼓以外还要使用Drum Machine(鼓机)加上吉他手Vincent Zylstra的音效编程就有了冰冷的科技味道了。这样又有技术又有能力的乐手是音乐创造力的关键。相信他们会随着意识的日渐成熟而创造出不同与以往的新的风格！！
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.
