Marc Heal and Phil Barry, otherwise known as industrial terrorists Cubanate, have explored the hybrid flair created by admixture industrial music with the high-velocity rhythms of techno. The radical formed in London in late 1992 with Heal on vocals and Barry playing guitar, along with keyboard player Graham Rayner and percussionist Steve Etheridge. Cubanate began recording soon subsequently, and played their first lively show that same year (with only Heal and Barry). In former 1993, the mathematical group signed to Berlin's Dynamica label and released the "Bodyburn" single a few months by and by. It earned good reviews (Single of the Week according to Kerrang!), but Rayner and Etheridge left non long later on. Remixer/producer Julian Beeston was added for for a while, simply Heal and Barry decided to persist in for the time existence as a two-piece.
Sept 1993 brought the duo's debut album Antimatter, and the Metal EP followed in 1994. Controversy followed Cubanate around the British Isles during a 1994 circuit with Carcass, as death threats and nigh riots caused the London Evening Standard to declare that the band had "provoked an irruption of disturbed slaughter." Late in 1994, Cubanate delivered "Oxyacetylene," the trailer single for second LP Cyberia, which appeared in early 1995. Heal and Barry in one case once again enlisted extra members -- this time guitar player Shep Ashton and keyboard participant Darren Bennett -- for a circuit with Front Line Assembly, but returned to the duo format for third record album Barbarossa, released in April 1996. Two geezerhood later, Interference appeared on TVT.
