Genghis Tron is a three-piece experimental metal band formed in Poughkeepsie, NY and currently based out of Brooklyn, NY currently signed to Relapse Records. Genghis Tron is noted for their creative combination of metal with different types of electronic music. Although early on the band was often classified as cybergrind, Genghis Tron has since developed a more diverse sound, which includes elements of IDM, power noise, doom, industrial, ambient, in addition to their core style of synth-laden metal/grindcore.
Forgoing both a drummer and a bassist, the band utilizes computer-based drum machines such as FL Studio and Ableton Live as well as multiple synthesizers (Moog, Alesis, and Novation) to execute their distinct sound. Genghis Tron has toured with such bands as Behold... The Arctopus, Converge, Kylesa, Gaza, The Dillinger Escape Plan, and The Faint.
Their 2008 album Board Up The House was awarded as Album of the Year by UK Magazine Rock Sound
