Genghis Tron is a three-piece band from Poughkeepsie, NY.
The trio formed in early 2004 where they met as students at Vassar College.
"Dead Mountain Mouth", the band's first full-length, was released by the same label the following year. The newer material was a more well-blended and demented attack, focusing less on the cut-and-paste mayhem of the early songs and instead honing in on flow, song structure, and originality creating what has never been created before.
They have completed recording "Board Up The House", their second full-length album. It was released in February 2008.
From Wikipedia:Genghis Tron is a three-piece experimental metal band formed in Poughkeepsie, New York, USA, and currently based in Brooklyn, New York, signed to Relapse Records. The band is noted for its creative combination of various types of metal and electronic music. Although often classified as cybergrind early in their career, Genghis Tron has since developed a more diverse sound, which includes elements of IDM, noise, doom metal, electronic and ambient, in addition to their core style of synth-laden metal/grindcore.
Forgoing both a drummer and a bass guitarist, the band utilizes computer-based drum machines such as FL Studio and Ableton Live as well as multiple synthesizers (Moog, Alesis and Novation) to produce its distinct sound. Genghis Tron has toured with such bands as Behold... The Arctopus, Converge, Kylesa, Gaza, The Dillinger Escape Plan and The Faint.
The 2008 album Board Up The House was awarded the title Album of the Year by UK magazine Rock Sound.
