Prometheus Burning is a female fronted, genre-bending Electro-Industrial band, focusing on experimental vocal structures, aggressive beats, complex rhythms, dark atmospherics, and glitched out electronic noise.
Their "cut-n-paste" lyrical style is cryptic but coherent, painting pictures in the minds eye of their listeners. Every song seems to contain a story, a clue, a piece of a much larger puzzle, often referencing the occult, chaos magick, transhumanistic philosophy, and cyberpunk ideals.
Inspired by the early Industrial acts of their youth such as Skinny Puppy, Ministry, Download, Pyschic TV, Coil, Throbbing Gristle, Frontline Assembly, and Front 242, Prometheus Burning was created to keep the flame alive. Since 1999 they have been crafting an ever evolving, emotional, experimental, and harsh sound true to the roots of Industrial, yet innovative and expressive enough to push the envelope in a post-Industrial musical era.

Our newest full length concept album Plague called huMANity is out NOW on Crunch Pod!
Read some background about the album on our website HERE.
See the official blurb from Crunch Pod below:
Prometheus Burning has straddled the industrial and experimental noise scenes for years with their blend of jagged, compelling dark electronics, digital banshee vocals, and their devastatingly powerful, visceral live performances. 2009 marks ProBurn's return to the spotlight with their new full length release and Crunch Pod debut; Plague called huMANity.
With the unleashing of this new concept album, vocalist Nikki Telladictorian and electronics guru Greg VanEck set and follow their own standards with a truly unique vision. Based loosely on the mythology of Pandora's Box, Plague called huMANity is ProBurn's most ambitious and accessible work to date. Combining remarkably varied elements of industrial, breakcore, and IDM, Plague Called HuMANity has an artistic bloodlust that oozes from every fractured note. Seeping with subtle nods and references to their earliest electro-industrial influences of the 80's and 90's, Plague called huMANity even features their own take on the classic Ministry floorcrusher "You Know What You Are" as an album bonus.

When you say "feed the fire"...do you mean putting some bricks on the keys of a live synth and then spraying it down with lighter fluid...then torching it while it makes noize? I think we should try. I have an old Yamaha CS1 that wants to go to synth hell Stay cool and thanks for saying hello =D
