Cubanate are an English industrial band from London, England, founded in 1992 by Marc Heal and Graham Rayner with Phil Barry and Steve Etheridge.

After the release of the album's lead single, "Body Burn", Rayner and Etheridge departed from the band in order to form K-Nitrate.

Later that year, Cubanate received media attention when they were weirdly paired with Carcass for what turned out to be a notoriously violent UK tour ending in death threats to Heal.

3 on the CMJ RPM Chart in the U.S.[4] For live work around the Cyberia tour the band hired Shep Ashton on guitar and Darren Bennett on keyboards.

The third album, Barbarossa (1996) continued the crossover format, and despite being name-checked as influences by bands such as The Prodigy,[5] the group decided a change was clearly needed.

Recordings for the act's fourth and final official full-length album to date, Interference (1998) was a departure from Cubanate's earlier techno experiments with a strong drum and bass influence that alienated some of their traditionalist fans but was heralded as revelatory by others.

[14] AllMusic wrote that the band "have explored the hybrid style created by mixing industrial music with the high-speed rhythms of techno".

During their heyday, Cubanate's fusion of techno and rock stirred both controversy and influence, with their impact continuing to echo in the present.

As one of the rare UK bands labeled 'Industrial' to break into the mainstream, they frequently appeared in a wide range of publications, from Kerrangg!

Apart from "Oxyacetylene", three other Cubanate songs were used on Gran Turismo and the single "Body Burn" can be heard at length in episode eighty-two of The Sopranos, from the final season of the show.
