Band Members:
DB9D9's sound is cold and hard, walking the thin line between standard dance electro and intense coldwave. They seem to rely heavily on gritty guitar chords, angry vocals and thick electronics to carry their sound across. It's almost as if they are creating pieces that could possibly generate some mainstream interest, yet they add in a dash of creativity which, unfortunately, will probably keep them out of the limelight. For those who are excited by the harder edged, guitar orientated electro, I suggest you check out DB9D9. -industrialmusic.com
DB9D9's greatest strength is their execution of this style, which shows some true songwriting talent and quite a bit of sophistication. Their material is catchy, upbeat and energetic and reminds me of all the reasons why this style of industrial was so popular in the early 1990s. -Corridor of Cellsextreme / dark music webzine
If sissy dance beats and fake German accents get you hard, look elsewhere. db9d9 is a must have for your Caselogic. -Skippy Longstocking, outburn magazine
Just because it's angry doesn't mean db9d9 can't make danceable music. They know how to make alienation more fun than a Morrissey concert. -Nina Garin, San Diego Union Tribune
The album "db9d9" was released to critical acclaim and won an award for best industrial album. db9d9 performed a lot during this period, they played the whisky in Los Angeles and opened for Metallica and for Mötley Crüe, because of this album. Recourt began networking to get db9d9 music into movies and television. His ambition paid off and several projects used music from the album "db9d9".
After licensing music from the first db9d9 album, Recourt invested in upgrades and locked himself away to begin work on a new album. He wanted to create an album that was "pure" and "in the moment". Recourt claims to have let the songs on "Something to Cry About" evolve naturally without trying to push them in any specific direction, which may have something to do with the album's unique industrial sound. The cover art was created by digital artist, tsubasa.
