Cubanate were an industrial band from London, England, founded in 1992 by Marc Heal (vocals), Graham Rayner (keyboards), Phil Barry (guitars), and Steve Etheridge (drums). The group became well known for their combination of electro-industrial with distorted heavy metal guitars and techno percussion. After the release of their debut album Antimatter in 1993, Rayner and Etheridge departed from the band. From that point on, Cubanate revolved around Heal and Barry, with various other musicians joining the lineup at times.
