I’m a big fan of Cyanotic’s brand of industrial metal. A lot of industrial bands that feature guitar riffs tend to get real lazy with the programming and electronics, but Cyanotic never have. I guess that’s why they can pull off an album like Tech Noir. Tech Noir drops almost all of the guitar parts in favor of a synth/electronics laden album that still features the gravel-throated vocals and powerful beats the band have always been known for. After two excellent, but similar, industrial metal releases and a questionable third release, Tech Noir is a breath of fresh air and a welcome return for the band.
