CYTOTOXIN release title track of new album 'Biographyte'
11-03-2025
CYTOTOXIN strike back with their fifth full-length album ‘Biographyte’. The band continue their blast of a musical and lyrical concept, tackling the catastrophic incident at the Chernobyl power plant in 1986. The new offering will be released on 11th April, 2025 under Unique Leader Records. CYTOTOXIN have now released the title track of the album which comes again in the form of an official music video.
Watch ‘Biographyte’below.
The band comment on the single: “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 26th April, 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.
