Cyanotic is a Chicago-based industrial rock collective fronted by Sean Payne that formed in 2002 and released its first full-length album in 2005. Cyanotic is known for its genre-blending work, which fuses traditional industrial beats and vocals with drum n bass, sampling and heavy metal to create a very hard sound. The band's lyrics contain many tongue-in-cheek references to transhumanism.

Biography

Cyanotic plays aggressive electronic rock, melding elements of Wax Trax!, drum 'n' bass, IDM and heavy metal. The band has appeared live with the likes of Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Meat Beat Manifesto, Chemlab, 16 Volt, Andrew W.K., Acumen Nation, DJ? Acucrack, Rabbit Junk, Bile, and defragmentation.

Sean Payne and Drew Rosander formed Cyanotic in 2002 and released the Mutual Bonding Through Violation demo EP in 2003 via their own Glitch Mode Recordings label. Transhuman was released in mid-2005, and was Cyanotic's first full length album, featuring 12 tracks and co-production by Jason Novak of Acumen Nation / DJ? Acucrack and Chris Cozort of iammynewt.

Transhuman sold out as of August 2006. Cyanotic began production on a 2-disc deluxe edition, Transhuman 2.0, soon after the "Hail the Glitch 2k6" summer tour. The double album features the original Transhuman, digitally remastered by Chris Cozort of iammynewt, as well a second disc featuring new songs, alternate mixes, bonus tracks and guest appearances from members of Front Line Assembly, 16 Volt, Acumen Nation, DJ? Acucrack, mindfluxFuneral and fellow Glitch Mode Recordings cohorts Rabbit Junk. Transhuman 2.0 saw its release via WTII Records and BitRiot Records in association with[1]

The band's second proper full length album, The Medication Generation saw release in summer 2010.[2] Musically, the band continued to mature, and the partnership for co-producing with Acumen Nation's Jamie Duffy saw the band's song-writing and production improve. Since the release of The Medication Generation, Cyanotic has toured the United States multiple times in support of the release.

Cyanotic has done remixes and production work for many prolific artists, including Chemlab, Front Line Assembly, 16 Volt, Acumen Nation, and Pigface. Singer Sean Payne has stayed extremely active in producing Cyanotic, doing production work for others and maintaining multiple collaborations. The most recent project, Robohop, saw Cyanotic and members of The Glitch Mode Squad collaborating with Chicago drill / hip hop artists to create a rough, glitchy and gritty industrial - hip hop release. "Prime Directives, 1-4" was met with positive reception, both within the Chicago hip-hop community and industrial scene. Cyanotic is currently in the studio finishing their upcoming album, "Worst Case Scenario."
