Razed in Black

Razed in Black (RiB) is a gothic electronic music act created by Romell Regulacion (vocals, keyboards, guitars) and is supported in live performances by band members Chris Nelson and Raj Kapololu. The band was formed in Hawaii in 1994 and signed to Cleopatra Records in the following year. RiB's music combines elements of industrial, synthpop, dark wave, gothic rock, and hardcore techno. Mostly an underground act, RiB have had songs featured on television shows like Homicide: Life on the Street, in movies, and in videogames.

Regulacion has also released material under the names DJ R<I>B, DJ Skooby, and Transmutator. Transmutator incorporates more techno and hard electro/beat elements in its musical style, while Razed in Black has more lyrically-based songs with a darker tone and a heavier pop/rock influence.

    In Black

    by: Blindside

    i inhale take it in the hate the anger
    it clouds my thinking it pulls me under
    further further my eyes lose sight
    my ears grow deaf my mouth is gagged
    i exhale get rid of confusion
    returning my focus i try to keep my grip
    closer closer lights come on
    to kill the black festering inside
    i inhale i choke i exhale i choke
    i crawl you kick i choke on hope
    if i, swallow everything that you give
    to me i would vomit on this world
    i see your delight in my mistakes
    using my shortcomings to your full advantage
    you're full i'm empty the story old and stale
    a thousand times over torn to laugh
