Hi Everyone! Now that our print shop is fully complete and installed, we are working hard on our product offering for the official relaunch for our webstore. I have created a poll I would like everyone to try out. It should take literally 15 seconds, and it won't take you off site. Best of all, your answers will directly affect what things we buy to print on. That's right, our business is in your hands :p

From Cyanotic's Blog: "People have been asking about our new album. We figure we might as well answer a couple things. The name of the new album is "The Medication Generation". We are hoping to have it out by summer. Its about North American ways to cope with living. Eating pills and reading celebrity magazines. Jason Prost from mindfluxFuneral is co-producing the album with me (Sean). The electronics and structuring of the songs is intact. Chris and Drew are finishing up the writing of the guitars. I am also working on a project with Jared from Chemlab and Matt from Caustic. The tentative title of the project is Prude."

Cyanotic has finally had a chance to wind down from their hugely successful tour with Chemlab. Fans are encouraged to check out the bands road road images at Cyanotic's web site gallery or visit the Cyanotic Myspace to get a perfect picture of the chaos. 3500 miles in 6 days was a daunting task, but the band brought their trademark power and intensity - not to mention the noise - each and every night. Bit Riot Records would like to extend our special thanks to guest drummer Adrian White of The Silent Alarm, Front Line Assembly, Strapping Young and Dismantled.



After the tour ended Cyanotic approached us about setting up a special sale to reward their fans. We thought that would be a great idea while we continue to work on our brand new webstore that launches next year. Cyanotic has shirts and CD combo bundles for sale. Since they are clearing out house for the new year, quantities are super limited. Fans interested in getting this tour merchandise should act fast! Visit the Cyanotic store to order here: Cyanotic Store.



Cyanotic would also like to thank all of their fans for this amazing year. After having played with such strong personal influences like Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly, Chemlab, Acumen Nation and Meat Beat Manifesto, the band is finally ready to head to NUM studios and finish up the recording sessions for their new album, which we hope to hace a title for soon.

CYANOTIC NOW TOURING TO THE BEAT OF A LIVE DRUMMER

Chicago, IL. December 6, 2007, Bit Riot Records artists Cyanotic have just announced that Adrian White (Front Line Assembly, Strapping Young Lad) will be joining them live on drums starting December 10th in Tallahassee, FL. for a leg of the DETONATION DAYS TOUR headlined by machine rockers Chemlab. This is Cyanotic's third time on the road in support of their breakthrough album Transhuman 2.0. Adrian's experience is an exciting addition to this run as Cyanotic looks to take a more aggressive stance in metal and incorporate a permanent live drummer to the line up with their upcoming 2008 Bit Riot Records release.

"It looks like I'll be jumping on this tour to play some heavy drum beats with the Cyanotic boys. It will be good to tour with guys that actually have a clue what it is to kick ass live. I haven't played any blast beats/grindcore live since the Strapping Young Lad daze. I'll bring the heavy...you bring the beer!" - Adrian White

"This is going to be intense." - Sean Payne, Cyanotic


Dates are as follows:

12/10/2007 - w/ Chemlab, USSA and Skeleton Key @ Beta Bar - Tallahassee, FL
12/11/2007 - w/ Chemlab, USSA and Skeleton Key @ Back Booth - Orlando, FL
12/12/2007 - w/ Chemlab, USSA and Skeleton Key @ Masquerade - Atlanta, GA

Cyanotic Announce Full Scale West Coast-Midwest US Tour In Support Of Acumen Nation And Dj? Acucrack


Chicago, IL. September 3, 2007, Chicago based artists Acumen Nation and Cyanotic have officially announced the 2007 "PSYCHO TRANSHUMANOID TOUR". Kicking off in Minneapolis, MN on October 4 and heading to the West, the tour is a nod to glitched out sounds, heavy beats and abrasive electronic metal. Supporting the tour is the Acumen Nation drum and bass side project DJ? Acucrack. Taking a moment to talk about the tour Jason Novak of Acumen Nation / DJ? Acucrack explained some of the circumstances surrounding their exciting west coast plans.

"Acumen Nation hasn't been west of the Mississippi in over 8 years, and while DJ? Acucrack was fortunate to travel west with both KMFDM and Frontline Assembly on recent tours, it was important for us to get there on our own. After having mixed Cyanotics first album and working with them on compilations, it seemed a good fit for a touring package. All 3 acts are rooted in the industrial scene, but we are dedicated to fusing those elements with fat slabs of drum n' bass, metal and hardcore." - Jason Novak, Acumen Nation / DJ? Acucrack

Cyanotic joined the PSYCHO TRANSHUMANOID tour after their own hugely successful 'Fix The Glitch' tour with Bit Riot label mates mindFluxFuneral. Getting right back on the road, the band is promoting its July release 'Transhuman 2.0', an eclectic mix of heavy synthesis, electronic beats and aggressive guitars. Cyanotic is also working on new material for their sophomore release under the Bit Riot label, which still untitled, is slated for release Spring 2008. Fans at these shows will be the first people in the world to see Cyanotic perform these new songs.

"People have been asking us to come out to the west coast since we started playing in '03. The demand kept growing until we just had to sit down and figure out how we were gonna get out there, and as luck would have it, we got the offer to go out with a couple bands Acumen Nation / DJ? Acucrack, who we have been listening to since we were kids.

We've been busting our ass to ensure this is going to be sonic goodness on all fronts and we can't wait to hang out with the fans who have been waiting for us to come and play. Its gonna be 3 weeks of powah." - Sean Payne, Cyanotic

Acumen Nation and Dj? Acucrack are also promoting a pair of releases titled "Psycho The Rapist" and "Humanoids From The Deep" available October 2nd from Cracknation Records.

"For Cracknation, this is the first time we have released simultaneous albums, especially exciting that it is our two flagship bands. Both albums for Acumen Nation and DJ? Acucrack are available October 2, but there is only so much a small label can do... so working with Bit Riot is proving effective and allowing us both to cover separate ground, helping ourselves and the other to benefits we might not have engineered on our own." - Jason Novak, Acumen Nation / DJ? Acucrack

'Transhuman 2.0', 'Psycho The Rapist' and 'Humanoids From The Deep' are available in independent stores and online everywhere.

When reached for comment, perhaps Cyanotic's manager best captured what the bands will be bringing and what concert goers will have to look forward to:

"We are ecstatic for our first West Coast run and we promise to bring nothing less then the shear auditory and visual power that Acumen Nation, Cyanotic and DJ? Acucrack are known for. Its about time they got a dose of this machine on the West Side." -Jason Geisinger, A12 Rep.
