Biography
"Cryogen Second was originally formed in 2005 as a solo project by frontman Eric Sochocki. Currently located in Nashville, Tennessee; the band is quickly generating a buzz as one of the up and coming EBM acts in the United States. They have been best described as a sonic mesh of solid production, noise and industrial rhythms, trance sensibilities, strong hooks, a tinge of metal, with straightforward lyrics; and SIDECHAIN, lots of SIDECHAIN; music that nods to new american electro like Le Castle Vania and Ocelot; an eclectic sound that holds true to the aggressive, nihilist industrial.
Members include: In Studio: Eric Sochocki all Programming, Vocals, Lyrics, and Sampling; and for Live Performances: Eric Sochocki - Vocals, Kevin Edlin - Guitars, DJ Assimilat - Live Sequencing, and Asli Tiner - Synths.
