Band information

Synthetic Breed is a cyber-death metal band from Melbourne, with more than a passing resemblance (musically and conceptually) to Demanufacture period Fear Factory, crossed with some groove element. The group formed around Zylstra in 2001 with Nasseri and Bahlo coming into the line-up in 2001 and 2002. A drum machine was used for live appearances until Luttick joined in 2004. Shortly afterwards, vocalist Mark Condello left Synthetic Breed and Reza handled lead vocals until Hughes was found in 2005. The group then recorded and released the "Fractured" EP, supported Arch Enemy in November and went to Germany in mid-2006 where they appeared at the With Full Force festival. Their set from this show was released as a live album in May 2007, after which "Fractured" re-appeared in a remixed version with two extra tracks. Synthetic Breed's debut album Catatonic is due for release in late 2007.
