Bio
Since 1993, Wrex Mock and Patrice Synthea have zealously dedicated themselves to composing and producing synth-based music that espouses a driving sound in which their various inspirations, electro, synth pop, goth, and new wave collide and coalesce. Striving for a modern sound while staying true to their roots, the twosome have taken influences such as Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, Ministry, and Psychedelic Furs and fused them within their own personal style. Regenerator shirk stereotyping. Their music has a positive message, but they don't produce clean-cut pop or preachy rock. Nor do they dress the part. Further, their music reflects the wide range of emotions that we all feel. They can be angry, joyful, somber, blissful, anxious, and hopeful, even about life on a planet that is seemingly on the verge of annihilation. It's a particular theme that crops up from time-to-time. A musical tug-of-war defines Regenerator's sound. The interplay between Wrex's deep growls and Patrice's delicate singing parallel the duo's inherent dichotomy between aural aggression and euphony. Light meets dark, hope battles despair, jagged edges touch smooth surfaces, and the contrasts make for catchy, danceable tunes. It’s in 2001 that the American duo signed to Alfa Matrix for the release of their 5th album "War", in which they continued to focus on creating memorable hypnotic dark pop songs. Long-time fans could then enjoy the “Regenerated-X” anniversary double album and its mixture of past chestnuts and exclusive remixes (by acts like Front 242, Kmfdm, Clan Of Xymox, Assemblage 23, Glis ,etc.). Regenerator are currently putting the last touch to their 7th album, “Disease” due to be released in Summer 2005, on which melody and energy become one. Regenerator's modern passionate sound will soon be infecting your senses... |
