Cypher16 are a hugely talented, innovative organic rock band, who fuse electronic and metal influences with hints of industrial to create their own unique musical mix.

Having toured in the UK, Europe, India and America, Cypher16 have played with the likes of LACUNA COIL, CHILDREN OF BODOM, MUDVAYNE, DARK TRANQUILITY and IN THIS MOMENT, to name but a few.

Formed in 2007, the quartet forged and honed their sound down live around the UK’s scuzzy rock club circuit extensively before recording their debut, self-released EP ‘The Man Of The Black Abyss’ late in 2008. “Mixing traditional rock elements with more modern synthesizer effects, these young Londoners are oozing talent and are sure to make a big name for themselves in the not too distant future” raved POWERPLAY magazine’s Glenn Butler.

The band filmed their debut music video for the lead track off the EP (Symphony To End It All) in the surroundings of the incredible Gloucester Cathedral (location for scenes from the Harry Potter films). To see it on SCUZZ TV in the UK please send your request to requests@scuzz.tv
