Biography

The industrial/goth rock outfit Razed in Black may be the only such band to hail from Hawaii (the town of Ewa Beach, to be exact). Comprised of members Romell Regulacion (guitar), Chris Nelson (vocals, bass, and synths), and Raj Kapololu (drums), the trio draws inspiration from the usual suspects, including Nine Inch Nails, Sister Machine Gun, and Chemlab. Originally formed in the mid-'90s, Razed in Black has issued several full-length recordings (all on the Cleopatra label): 1996's Shrieks, Laments and Anguished Cries, 1997's Overflow, 1999's Sacrificed, and 2003's Damaged; plus the 2001 EP Oh My Goth, which featured remixes of tracks by DJ Rib, DJ Evil, and Matthew Grim. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide

Romell Regulacion

Razed in Black (RiB) is an electronic music act created by Romell Regulacion (vocals, keyboards, guitars) and is supported in live performances by band members Chris Nelson and Raj Kapololu.[1] The band was formed in Hawaii in 1994 and signed to Cleopatra Records the following year.[2] RiB's music combines elements of industrial, synth-pop, darkwave, 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.[2]

Regulacion has also released material under the names DJ RB, DJ Skooby,[2] 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.
