Uranium 235 has strong industrial edge, which combines with dance/electronic/techno music, as well as heavy, powerful guitars. Their vocals range from gorgeous singing to a raging scream. The band is noted for its unique ability to maintain a strong techno/dance groove without sacrificing heavy guitar riffs. Uranium 235 has been compared to such influential bands as Depeche Mode, Ministry, and Nine Inch Nails, but these comparisons really do them no justice. Uranium 235 is one of the few bands on the modern music scene to achieve a truly unique sound.
The band was formed in 1994 in New York City, and since then has toured the United States and Europe with such acts as Switchblade Symphony, Life of Agony, God Lives Underwater, Marilyn Manson, Electric Hellfire Club, Spahn Ranch, Type O Negative, Fear Factory, The Misfits, and MotorHead, to name just a few.
In 1998 the band released their debut album Cultural Minority on SPV/CBH (Germany), PolyGram (U.K.), and Nippon (Japan). Cultural Minority has sold 20,000 records in Germany, and was released in the United States in February 2000 by Mystic Music (and distributed by WEA). It is already building up buzz as a hot new release, receiving major airplay and media attention. U235 has built up a huge fan base in the U.S. and is currently promoting the release of Cultural Minority by working with the Sterile Nation Promotions Team, a group of fans across the country who help spread the word about U235 in their hometown.
