An appearance on the distinguished 2007 four-disc compilation ENDZEIT BUNKERTRACKS III for the club hit "Total War" pushed Uberbyte even further into the spotlight, with their fanbase dramatically increasing due to their energetic live performances (which have already taken them as far as Mexico), remixes for the likes of Leatherstrip, XP8, and Aesthetic Perfection , and grassroots local and international support.
Wasting no time, UBERBYTE will be releasing their debut CD SIC on the U.S. label CRUNCH POD, home of electro upstarts such as CERVELLO ELETTRONICO, MANUFACTURA, C/A/T, and CAUSTIC. SIC's lean programming and infectious hooks keep one foot grounded in electro's dance heyday of CUBANATE, LEATHER STRIP, and early :WUMPSCUT: while maintaining a keen eye on the future with influences such as GRENDEL and HOCICO. While comparisons can be made to today's current electro/techno fusions, none sound exactly like Uberbyte, and that demonstrates why they are on the rise. SIC is a head welding relentless rhythmic assault that will get stuck in your head for days to come.
People of the world, STAND UP FOR UBERBYTE!

Uberbyte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics to Uberbyte's song "Aeon" are a reference to the works of H.P. Lovecraft, specifically his creation of the cosmic entity known as Cthulhu. "Iä Iä Cthulhu Fhtagn!" is a chant used by Lovecraft's characters to summon this ancient and powerful being, and it expresses a devotion and worship towards it. The song itself is a reflection of Lovecraft's themes of paranoia, dread and the unknown, with lyrics like "the cracks appear, the mirrors break / the world is spinning out of shape / there's nothing left for us to take / in this eternal, timeless space". It evokes a feeling of impending doom and the insignificance of humanity in the face of the vast, uncaring universe.
