CYTOTOXIN veröffentlichen Video zu "BIOGRAPHYTE"
BIOGRAPHYTE is the 5th full-length album by the Germany-based tech death band CYTOTOXIN.
With their new record, CYTOTOXIN explores their roots and takes listeners on a journey through the radiated wasteland of Pripyat. BIOGRAPHYTE dedicates each song to a memorable location, thus narrating the biographical story of the tragic catastrophe in 1986 and those who were affected. Symbolically depicted in the cover artwork, humanity is doomed to carry the consequences of the reactor disaster with it for eternity. The title track itself reflects the situation of firefighters picking up graphite bricks on the night of the explosion, causing irreversible damage to their skin and bodies, which often led to fatalities.
The title track itself reflects the situation of firefighters collecting graphite bricks on the night of the explosion, suffering irreversible damage to their skin and bodies—often resulting in fatalities. This scene is depicted in the album artwork, which portrays a liquidator carrying the weight of the reactor on his back. Biographyte also showcases the slamming and groovier side of Cytotoxin. The song, written in a Phrygian dominant scale, further ties back to the desert-themed album artwork.

On the night of April 26, 1986, an explosion at the Chernobyl power plant changed the course of the world.
Inspired by this catastrophe, the German death metal band Cytotoxin emerged in 2010, bringing a new level of intensity to the genre. By fusing technical and brutal riffs while thematizing the devastating effects of the reactor disaster, they quickly drew attention in the scene. Their debut album, Plutonium Heaven (2011), was a self-produced powerhouse, followed by their second record, Radiophobia (2012), which secured them a three-album deal with American label Unique Leader Records.
Cytotoxin quickly gained a reputation for their explosive live performances and razor-sharp precision on their instruments. Their third album, Gammageddon (2017), solidified their place in the tech death community, while their fourth album, Nuklearth (2020), showcased their versatility and songwriting capabilities. Following numerous European tours and major festival shows, Cytotoxin just made their U.S. and Canadian debut in November 2024. Now, they are ready to conquer new territories with their two new singles Hope Terminator and Condemnesia in hand.
