SYNTHETIC BREED is “Formulated Chaos”: the Australian four-piece Industrial Djent band

combining a crushing and mechanizing soundscape. With a uniquely intense technical rhythmic

complexity, SYNTHETIC BREED also ventures into chaotic poly-rhythmic passages with dynamic,

emotive and eloquent melodic interludes.

SYNTHETIC BREED began playing live in 2002. By late 2003 their debut self-titled EP was released.

The band continued to write and perform, molding their unique style and in early 2005 released

their second EP, "Fractured". In 2006, they recorded and released their first full-length album, 

‘Catatonic’, which was received with worldwide critical acclaim. 2009 saw the recording and release

of their second feature album, entitled 'Perpetual Motion Machine', once again released to worldwide

critical acclaim.  While the prior EP's hinted at the musicality and progressive tendencies of

SYNTHETIC BREED, their full length releases showcase their unique and individual style and

sound in a spectacularly authoritative manner. Crushing riffs, pounding polyrhythms and a

superior technicality are combined with both explosive and dark movements of musical excellence

to form a unique brand of Industrial Djent.
