UCNX [Absolute Zero OUT NOW!]

UCNX is an audio assault project based out of NJ/Philly from Doug Sudia and John Monette focusing mainly on the industrial/electronic scene. Theirs is a fusion of various styles ranging from classic Electro-Industrial, IDM, Coldwave, Ambient, and Noise into a collection of storming club and experimental tracks with strong vocals, an overall rock sensibility, and strong respect to the past acts of the Wax Trax and Re-Constriction days, without being stuck in them.Doug & John have known each other since the 2nd grade, and although they are a breakthrough new act they have been conspiring on music together for the past decade. What started as a fun hobby evolved into a serious beast: Dedication to their craft, to actual songwriting that can still fill the floor to maximum capacity. Fueled by influence without imitation, accesability without comprimise. But don't just take their word for it...

"It's so nice to hear a band, in these days of computer-made-easy-crap-industrial...that actually sounds like it gives a shit about it's music, the genre and the ear drums of it's populace in general. And if it makes me a pussy to say that I like melodies with my hardcore beatz, then so be it...in which case UCNX puts the bow on my little girl dress." -Blayne, Idiot Stare/Insight 23

"4 out of 5 ++++" - Fabryka/www.industrial-rock.net
"One of the most exciting releases of the past year...There's just too much to like about this disc, and hasn't got a thing going against it." - www.brianbacklash.com
"A blast...mixes electronic industrial power with melody and freshness. A valid alternative to the most known names of the scene." - Chain D.L.K.
"...As caustic synthesizers squelch and sear above throbbing beats and Doug Sudia's aggressive yet emotive vocals, there is much to be said for this band's sound. With all the energy and attitude of late '90s coldwave, yet replacing guitars with the club-stomping electronic approach of the modern age, UCNX are steadily carving out a niche of their own...Sudia's vocals are delivered in a primarily clean tone, avoiding the terror EBM clichés of too much distortion and incoherent lyrics, while his actual voice at times bears a resemblance to Dan Levler of LVL or Chemlab's Jared Louche...Put simply, the band accomplishes its mission to add some fuel to the industrial music fire, offering hope for a scene in decline." - ReGen Magazine
"A refreshing sound in this current era of extremely derivative, blah, blah music...UCNX will get in your mind and under your skin, leaving you hopping up and down, rolling your head around, or at the very least, tapping your toes involuntarily." - Heathen Harvest
"Industrial? Yes, but the enjoyable accessible type with influences from cold wave, ambient, electro etc turned into an enjoyable claustrophobic listening trip." - Dark Entries
MoMT Records press release:
We at MoMT Records are proud to announce the release of the debut album by the American band UCNX.
"Absolute Zero" is the debut release by US band UCNX and it's hotter than a man who has just set his trousers on fire.

The mini album features 9 tracks, 5 of them originals by UCNX, 3 remixes including a stunning remakes by the excellent Cyanotic and Deadliner. The release is topped of with a brooding cover of the Alice in Chains classic Sea of Sorrow.

"Tributes are so often tired, thought-to-sexlessness, over-produced and then mercilessly stuffed deep into the gaping, pustule-festooned maw of the marketplace these days (thank you, Cleopatra) that to build a tribute record that has anything authentic to deliver is a journey embarked on only by the insane or the desperate. Fortunately, “Songs From The H-Bar” is created by the desperately insane, utterly marginalised and ferociously independent. Capricious too. The selection is varied and sprawls across the dial with great success, leaping with alacrity from beat-shuddered extremes, through 22nd century guitar slash to dub-drenched ambience, all of it bathed in the sickly light of fractured grooves and poisonous experimentation. Tributes are neutered when they reek of respect and conventionality, and “Songs” succeeds by refusing to treat itself or its subject like some sacred cow. I could dissect each track, but that would delay you from buying it. Suffice it to say that it makes Chemlab listenable for me again." -Jared Louche (Chemlab)

"On the new material we've currently had some vocals done by a vocalist called Doug Sudia from a band called "UCNX". I got to know Doug through the upcoming Chemlab Tribute where I've done a K-Nitrate cover version of "Codeine Glue & You". He's got a great voice and he's been coming up with some great vocal ideas for us." -Christian from Audio War, Side-Line interview.
