Since the late ‘90s, Atlanta’s Synchro Nine Factor has been a mechanized force on the local and national scene. Hardcore industrial fans have witnessed the band’s performances with the likes of Chemlab, Sister Machine Gun and Zeromancer while more casual listeners might have heard snippets of songs from the band’s 1999 debut CD Right Wing Conspiracy on MTV’s Making the Video and elsewhere.

After taking a bit of a hiatus over the past few years, Synchro Nine Factor has been busier then ever in recent months. With the departure of longtime bassist and programmer Robby Johnson, the core duo of Nelson and Jamie Hagood decided to regroup by stripping down the darkwave sound they had become known for in favor of a more traditional rock approach.

But before starting this new chapter, the siblings revisited Right Wing Conspiracy and it’s slightly more guitar-oriented follow-up, 2003’s re[deploy], by giving the songs a remix treatment on the appropriately titled re[mix]. Released in late 2007, re[mix] features contributions from the likes of Autovon, PsiVamp, John Omen and Stan Satin.

While re[mix] played up the band’s electronic and industrial past, the more recent release, 20:20, heads in a direction more akin to alternative metal acts like Helmet, Prong and Alice in Chains. While samples and effects haven’t been completely abandoned, songs like “Where Do We Go From Here” and “Skyscraper” seem much more metal oriented in hindsight, thanks in part to the addition of Keith Downs on drums.

Prior to the release of the EP, the band has remained busy with live performances throughout the Southeast. Synchro Nine Factor continues the 20:20 push with a steady stream of live shows to support its release to radio and media outlets. Joining the band onstage is bassist Gary Gilbert, a veteran performer who also adds to the band’s hard rock approach.

With a new lineup, a heavy hitting new release and a reinvigorated musical approach, Synchro Nine Factor is poised to reclaim its dominance on the Atlanta music scene and beyond. And while the sound has changed somewhat, this revamped version of the band is likely to attract fans of the previous albums while also drawing in new listeners looking for a refreshing twist on mainstream metal.

SYNCHRO NINE FACTOR re[mix]

ACT 1:

We awake to the flow of Nigredo’s opening track floating somewhere in “The Afterlife”, catapulting us back in time to a day before machines dominated our psyche. From there we are pulverized by Autovon’s epic “More Than Machine” only to be carried further through the circuitry by the Reverend. Hudson that is. And our prayers will be answered, if not destroyed by the roar of opposing thoughts, rendered by the amazing Jon Thompson. The groove continues on to the tune of PsiVamp’s “Stomp” and still the candle burns . . . enough to light the way for our poet laureate John Omen, reciting lyrics from “Right Wing Conspiracy” fueling the premonition generation. But something is not quite right and it is a disgrace, the time we waste, only to find it has indeed run out . . . Carl Jung would be proud of Stan Satin’s opus “In A Dubsense” landing the synchronous track 9. While the dynamic duo have cast a spell . . . as told by The Devil and The Worm through their incantation “Sight Unseen” . . . And daylight fades into night.

ACT 2:

These birds do make new friends generated by the fury of Brian’s Electric Bird Noise, introducing us to the chaos monger himself . . . Zod. All hail ZOD and his technical prowess! Australia . . . and bombastic beats. The earth has been scorched by PASK with his aboriginal frequencies. Just in case you haven’t figured it out, the answer is "Meconium" from "re[deploy]" aka, Ilium Opium and the subsonic tracks from Xero/G or the digital algebra theorized by Searad reminding us that everything is golden in “Less Than I”. By now you are dreaming but don’t leave us just yet. We do hope you enjoy re[mix] from Synchro Nine Factor. Please don’t forget to replicate before you leave. It has been and continues to be nine times the pleasure . . .
