Claus Bita, frontman from Cenobita

Cenobita is an electro-cyberpunk band based in Mexico City, created in 1994 by Claus Bita (programming, vocals and production) and formerly band member Omar Flo (vocals). The lyrics are influenced by many cyberpunk themes and features, including novel Neuromancer by writer William Gibson, and daily life experiences in Mexico City. The band considers, that all human beings are entities dedicated to contemplative life at some point in their existence, with different level of analysis capacities. The music itself goes around the electronica/aggrotech sound, with pounding beats, complex harmony and noisy soundscapes. Vocals are mainly distorted. After releasing two demo tapes: Cybertuality and Visiones, considered Mexican electronic scene stepping stones, the band was signed by german label Trisol. Cenobita is one of the old-school bands that have become an important pillar in the Mexican music scene.
