UK sturm and drang stompers UBERBYTE rose from the ashes of the controversial industrial rock outfit Killing Miranda in late 2006. Newly rechristened with the enigmatic moniker "Uberman", KM's former vocalist quickly took Uberbyte to the stage, providing support to such heavy hitters as COMBICHRIST, Grendel, Hocico, The Cruxshadows, Panzer AG, KiEw, Die Krupps, XP8, Straftanz and Faderhead, becoming an almost overnight sensation in the flourishing, revitalized UK industrial scene.
Appearing on distinguished compilations such as Endzeit Bunkertracks (3 and 4) and interbreeding X, the bands debut album SIC proved the surprise critical and commercial industrial hit of 2008, notching up sales chart success, dancefloor success and acclaim worldwide.
Early 2009 and Uberbyte are poised to release "DOS" their second album to appear on maverick US label Crunch Pod.
DOS maintains Uberbyte's penchant for hook driven songwriting, this time with a darker, grittier edge. It also sees the band emerge from a whirpool of influences into something altogether more realized and mature. On the new disc, the band's central recording hub and main clubwrecker, also known as Uberman, remarked:
"With SIC we announced ourselves, but DOS goes a quantum level beyond that. We're still all about songs and hooks but this time we got down to showing some more teeth, a bit more of the kind of aggression and groove we have live. It was a blast to make too-- lots of fun and that's what really counts to us."
Uberbyte remains, at their core, a mixture of the old and new school of industrial, pumping out enough pile driving, slam dunking power for any dancefloor while at the same time being capable of throwing out lean, distinctive, melodic material with a dark, twisted sense of humor.
