Artist description Cydonia is the creation of New York native Anthony Leone, dark and distorted electro/ebm reminiscent of the Zoth Ommog altschul style while retaining more modern elements. Heavy rhythms and intricate melodies blend with sinister vocals, with slower interludes and progressions that take the listener into more unknown territories.

Press Reviews CYDONIA DEFTLY COMBINES MACHINE GUN BEATS AND SINISTER ELECTRONIC TEXTURES WITH LEONE'S PRETERNATURAL WHISPER. ...SONGS LIKE "SACRED" AND "THREADS" BURN WITH A FAMILIAR POST-INDUSTRIAL RAGE THAT CAN PROVOKE ANGST RIDDEN CLUB GOERS TO PUNISH A DANCEFLOOR. COVERING A RANGE OF APOCALYPTIC THEMES, CYDONIA OBSESSES ON HUMAN FUTILITY AND THE OPPRESSION OF AN IMPERSONAL, POST-MODERN CULTURE. (OUTBURN #11) THERE'S A CONSTANT ALTERNATION BETWEEN AN APPROACHING HARD BOMBASTIC MUSIC AT ONE SIDE AND A MORE CATCHY AND EVEN MELODIOUS SOUND AT THE OTHER SIDE. THIS DUALITY MAKES THE SOUND AND PERSONALITY OF CYDONIA. A PROMISING DEBUT ALBUM! (DP: 7) (SIDELINE #29) ...A PERFECT COMPROMISE BETWEEN OLD-SCHOOL AND NEW-SCHOOL BEATS AND SONORITIES. RANGING FROM CLASSICAL EBM WITH POUNDING INDUSTRIAL RHYTHM-SECTION, DISTORTED VOICES AND CRISP SOUNDS TO MORE SOPHISTICATED AND AVANT GARDE ELECTRONICA PROGRAMMINGS, TREATMENTS, CLEAN VOCALS AND BEAUTIFUL BLENDS OF MOODS AND SOUNDS. IT WILL CATCH THE ATTENTION OF MANY KIND OF LISTENERS...(CHAIN DLK#7)

Additional Info The "Albums" page listings are inaccurate as there have been many bands of late that have appropriated the name "Cydonia." Despite legal efforts, the battle had so many fronts(there is even another mp3.com project using the name) that it has become fiscally impossible to continue. Cydonia is defunct as the name is now worthless. My music will continue on however. In addition to the Tinman Records album, I appear as Cydonia on the following releases: Compilations: Cybonetix 2000(DSBP), Unquiet Grave 2000(Cleopatra), Ringworm V.1(tinman015), Empire One(tinman014), Cybonetix 1999(DSBP) Remixes: The Aggression, Android Lust, Crocodile Shop, Diverje, I Parasite
