...what have we become?

About Me


subNatural has grown into one of the Austin underground scene's premiere acts. A neurotic blend of dark rock, intricate metal and pounding industrial beats, they teeter on the edge of many labels.
Winning a top 5 spot for industrial band ( Austin Chronicle, Best Of... '06-'07 ) on their first entry they've refined an electrical stage presence and one of the most loyal fan bases on Red River and beyond.
"...Aggressive, visceral and yet emotive... The sheer energy alone that these guys exude is enough reason to experience them live." - Cindy Adzuki ( Adzuki Bean Stash )
"The group's sound encompasses the raw energy of the industrial genre — dynamic riffs, powerful percussion, and keys that add a tangible element to the entire show. Emotional lyrics and an overall easygoing albeit energetic stage presence help explain subNatural's devout following." - Tara ( LiveDaily/Note to Self )
Between having the pleasure of sharing the stage with some international bands (such as: Attrition , Android Lust and Diary of Dreams , etc.), Playing across Texas with other like-minded and powerful acts and selling out of the first printing of their self-released limited album (Message LTD. Feb. '07) within 2 months they only seem to be expanding their goals and setting the barrier higher.
Expect more energetic live shows, new songs, another short run/enhanced printing of Message LTD. and more new material to follow soon.
