History

The band was founded in 2005 as the successor of the progressive black metal band S.C.A.R.D. They picked up where S.C.A.R.D. left off stylistically with their first EP Withering Razors and debut album Insane Mytheries to Demise. With their next album Nexaeon in 2008, they started hinting at a more melodic cyber metal direction, fully establishing this different sound in their 2009 EP Synthetic Breed. All four songs from the EP were re-recorded as part of their 2010 album Damage Theory.
Recording for Damage Theory commenced in December 2009, with drums recorded in February 2010. The album features a guitar solo by Mick Priestley, as well as guest vocal contributions by Tony JJ Scott Kennedy, Kenji Siratori, and Vasiliy "Ghost". Hate vocalist Adam Buszko was also invited to do guest vocals but unable to contribute due to time constraints. The band toured in support of the album in Russia and Ukraine in February 2011. "Fading Away" was released as a single on February 1, 2011. A new single, "Neuron Electrics Inc." was released on September 26, 2011. That track and "Neon Rebels" were included as bonus tracks in a reissue for Damage Theory, released via Right Recordings in 2012.
They have toured with bands like Behemoth, Deathstars, Grave Digger, Rotting Christ, Grave, and Sonic Syndicate. They were signed to The Flaming Arts Agency.
They have been influenced by many bands including Fear Factory, Soilwork, Disturbed, Suicide Commando, The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Infected Mushroom, Static-X, and Scar Symmetry.
