[edit] Biography

Prometheus Burning is a female fronted, genre-bending Electro-Industrial band, focusing on experimental vocal structures, intricately layered synthlines, complex rhythms, dark atmospherics, junkyard percussion, and glitched out electronic noise.

The pair have been experimenting with sound together since 1999, eventually giving birth to Prometheus Burning in 2001. Inspired by the early Industrial acts of their youth such as Skinny Puppy, Ministry, Download, Pyschic TV, Coil, Throbbing Gristle, Frontline Assembly, and the glory days of Wax Trax, they set out to create an emotional, experimental, and harsh sound true to the roots of Industrial, yet innovative and expressive enough to push the envelope in a post-Industrial music era.

Their "cut-n-paste" Burroughs inspired lyrical style and use of obscure sound samples are 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 containing references to the occult, chaos magick, transhumanistic philosophy, and cyberpunk ideals.

Sharing the stage with the likes of Xanopticon, Abelcain, Terrorfakt, Needle Sharing, Scrap.Edx, Mono No Aware, and many other experimental artists, Prometheus Burning has proven they are a force to be reckoned with when it comes to live performances. Never giving the same show twice, it is always a deafening and dramatic experience when they step on stage armed with a barrage of computers, keyboards, theremins, circuit bent electronics, and other unusual devices.
