    Artist History
    Spawned as a side project from acclaimed industrial act Cubanate, K-NITRATE has taken on a life of its own.K-Nitrate is the brainchild of Graham Rayner; its early incarnation included an album release, 'Xenophobia', on the cult label Cybertec Records.Graham conceived Cubanate, together with Marc Heal, in late 1992. The formative years of the hugely influential band included a series of successful support dates with Sheep on Drugs on their UK tour, before playing Strawberry Fair in June 1993. They released their acclaimed 'Antimatter' album shortly after. Four of Cubanate's tracks were recently included on the best selling Sony Playstation game Gran Turismo, alongside other established artists such as Blur and Garbage.Graham eventually departed Cubanate to concentrate his efforts on K-Nitrate and also to provide remixes for the popular Cybertec Project (now known as C-Tec) featuring Jean Luc De Meyer from Front 242. No strangers to remix work, K-Nitrate have also reworked tracks by alternative techno act Hexedene.K-Nitrate represents a return to form for Rayner - a blend of dark, malevolent techno and industrial music; all sledgehammer beats, intricate samples and infuriatingly catchy hook lines.Taking this formidable sound to a live audience, Rayner has recruited programmer/percussionist Christian Weber and guitarist Joanna Theobald to form a full band. Fleshed out by stabbing guitar riffs and crushing rhythms, the K-Nitrate live performances have been spellbinding tour-de-forces that have attracted rave reviews.
