Diatribe was an American industrial rock group from San Jose, California, active in the 1990s.[1] They had a sound similar to 16 Volt and Chemlab, integrating synthesizers and vocal samples with more traditional rock instruments. The band's full-length debut Diatribe was released by Cargo Music and Re-Constriction Records on November 3, 1996.[2][3]

History

Diatribe came to attention of Re-Constriction Records owner Chase, who adopted the band onto his roster and released Nothing in 1992. The EP contained the songs "Kingpin" and "Nothing", which became staples for the band. Guitarist Montalbano parted ways with the band after the Nothing's release and his position was filled by Phil Biagini. In 1994 the band fell under the management of Lawrence Christopher and participated with KMFDM and Sister Machine Gun on the Angstfest tour,[4] where they premiered the song "Sick the Dogs". The band began incorporating electronic music into their guitar oriented sound. The band finished recording a demo in 1995, which included the songs "Another Time", "Freaks", "New Breed", "The Son", "Web" and "World on Fire".[5] The following year they released Diatribe for Re-Constriction Records.[6][7][8] The band released the single Ultracide with "Junkyard" as a B-side. With Marc Jameson having his interests diverted to breakbeat, drum and bass, downtempo and trip hop, the Diatribe's artistic direction splintered and they decided to disband.[3]
