SYBREED Announces Slave Design Reissue With Two 2023 Re-Recordings

It’s not a Sybreed reunion, but it’s close enough!

Sybreed will reissue their 2004 album Slave Design featuring a full remaster by Jens Bogren, completely redesigned artwork by Erik Kirchner, and (the most important part) two brand new recordings from 2023 – a fresh take on “Bioactive” and the previously unreleased “System Debaser”. The new version of Slave Design is out October 4 and you can pre-order the CD version right here. Vinyl is set to be announced later this year.

On the artwork, Kirchner said: “I am beyond thrilled to finally reveal the official cover art I designed for Swiss industrial metal band, Sybreed. In celebration of Slave Design‘s 20th Anniversary, Drop honored me with the opportunity to reimagine the iconic album’s entire artwork.

“His only request was for the original cover concept to remain the same and for the new cover to appear modern and void of human features. The interior album art panels illustrate the potentially bleak future of a human civilization enslaved by its own biomechanical creations. Album panels and prints to be revealed upon album release!!”

Sybreed originally existed between 2003 and 2013. The band released four albums – Slave Design in 2004, Antares in 2007, The Pulse Of Awakening in 2009, and God Is An Automaton in 2012 – before calling it quits. Though we’d love to see ’em come back.
