**BIO**
Replica was officially conceived in early 2006 in Canton Ohio by Chris Egert as a solo project. The music is hard-edged industrial rock, tinged with elements of heavy metal and driving electronica, and exhibits a riveting contrast of machine-like and organic qualities at the same time. Synthesizers scream and squeal while nihilistic drum beats pound and guitars tear the sound field asunder.
All of the tunes are written, played, recorded, and produced by Chris himself, while the live incarnation consists of a handful of talented fellow musicians including Nick Molen and Scott Paris on guitar, Joe Middleton on drums, and Josh Harris on synths and samples. The band has opened for such major headlining acts as the Genitorturers and Mortiis, and continues to impact and send waves through the underground industrial scene.
