Cyberdyne “Self-titled Demo” (EP/Not On Label)

Artist: Cyberdyne Title: Self-titled Format: Demo EP Label: Not On Label Genre: EBM, Industrial Release date: April 23, 2011

Formed in 2010, this Lancaster, UK based band of the three members Niall Robertson (Programming/Vocals/Production), Steven Houghton (Programming/Vocals) and Adam Higginson (Programming/Guitars/Synth). This self-titled demo is the first sign of light from this band and without any contract and still unknown to most of the audience, this first demo shows off what the band is all about.

The band mix Industrial elements with strong and powerful beats from EBM. With a strong and very impressive vocal appearence, and yet an interesting sound, I think this band will soon be a name on many peoples lips. They mix both clean and harsh vocals in a great way. Many bands do this today, but what impress me the most is the very unique and outstanding clean vocals. The production could be better, of course, but for being a first release, this demo is very strong with striking melodies, a catchy sound and great vocals. Easily one of the best, and interesting demos I’ve heard in a long time.

Also, do not forget that it got a great variety in the structure of the tracks to keep you interested.
