Common Man Down vocalist, Jordan Davis hand-picked artists whose styles span across the electronic genre. Everyone chosen to remix, rearrange, destroy, and manipulate were chosen for their distinct vision and ability to take Self Addiction in a unique direction that promises to please multiple crowds. Artists include Tom Napack (Vanity Police/Dangerous Muse) with an old-school/lofi/industrial vibe, there’s a dubstep/dance rendering from Ryle, an energetic approach from Cyanotic, Orvtronixxx with a dark-electro hit, and Erektor with noise-induced crushing mayhem.

Also included on the single is a minimal, stripped down, electro perspective of the song by Common Man Down called “Relapse“.

Self Addiction is set to be released on February 15th, 2011. Pre-order options are available now through Bit Riot Records at BitRiotMerch.com, including a discount on the single for $3.98 and a t-shirt purchase that gets you the single download in its entirety for FREE!

A conceptual effort, The Medication Generation is based on the making of the album itself, exploring the lives of Cyanotic and those around them, as seen through the eyes of frontman Sean Payne over the past three years. Twisting between cycles of self-destruction, over-stimulation and moments of clarity polluted by mass media and present day society The Medication Generation seems to have zero boundaries.

“Watching Sean craft this album over the last three years has been an amazing process,” shared Bit Riot label owner, Eric Dusik. “Every song has been meticulously crafted, revised and then molded into the coolest sample-laden, glitched-out industrial metal I have ever heard. Sean has poured himself into this album like never before and once Jamie came on board everything just came together. I am comfortable in saying that this is one of, if not the best, electronic rock/metal records in the last ten years.”

Cyanotic frontman Sean Payne along with producer and close friend Jamie Duffy (of Acumen Nation / DJ? Acucrack) challenge audio limitations — implementing elements of grindcore, electronica, metal, drum & bass and ambient industrial with vocals ranging from a fierce growl to a hushed whisper. The heavy, syncopated riffs of “Sentient” and “Dose Responsive”, the dancefloor-ready beats of the anti-scene anthem “f@5h10n v1k+um5” and the pervasive audio samples that create Cyanotic’s sonic ADD make The Medication Generation a defining record for heavy electronic music.

Fans can get a taste of The Medication Generation by visiting http://www.bitriotmerch.com.

The full track listing for The Medication Generation is as follows:

1. med:gen
2. dose responsive
3. alt machine.edit
4. dissonant dissident
5. the static screens [in syndication]
6. efficacy
7. f@5h10n v1k+um5
8. the same
9. programmed
10. monochrome skies
11. brutal deluxe
12. drek kick [featuring rabbit junk]
13. comadose
14. sentient

Here is a sneak peek of the Tshirt.

Per special request from the Cyanotic crew, www.bitriotmerch.com will be making this very limited Tshirt available online from July 6 through July 11th for those fans who cannot attend this EPIC event.

In addition to all this, the band is offering a FREE 3 song digital EP, Drek Kick, which will be available starting July 3rd at www.bitriotrecords.com.

Drek Kick Track Listing:
01. Drek Kick [Precursor Tour Demo] – a declaration of why we create our brands of noise.
Cyanotic and Rabbit Junk come together to rally against all the pitfalls that come with
being active members of the music industry.

02. Demons – originally appearing on Rabbit Junk’s seminal “Reframe” album, the song has been
rebuilt as a prototype of what to expect from the Cyanotic vs Rabbit Junk live set, a unity
of power.

03. Gak Bitch [10 year anniversary] – originally a song by The Shizit [JP Anderson's digital hardcore act pre-Rabbit Junk]. One of the main influences during Cyanotic’s early stages, this classic audio bombast was put together in a furious 12 hour recording session between the Cya-Junk crew.

All songs reassembled by Sean Payne (Cyanotic) and JP Anderson (Rabbit Junk/Shiznit). Mixing and Mastering by Jamie Duffy (Acumen Nation/DJ Acucrack).

While you are grabbing Drek Kick at www.bitriotrecords.com, why not join the Bit Riot Records mailing list? Everyone who signs up while the band is on tour will have a chance to win a signed copy of Cyanotic’s futuristic audio assault,The Medication Generation.

After the shoot, Cyanotic vocalist Sean Payne expressed interest in filming scenes for a video at the club. The clean futuristic feel and projected visuals engulfing the room has this spot screaming The Medication Generation.

Another shoot with Melissa L. Allen took place last weekend using the public transit systems of Chicago as the backdrop.

No details have been released about the video at this time.
