Razed in Black (RiB) is a gothic electronic music act created by Romell Regulacion (vocals, keyboards, guitars) and is supported in live performances by band members Chris Nelson and Raj Kapololu. The band was formed in Hawaii in 1994 and signed to Cleopatra Records the following year. RiB's music combines elements of industrial, synth-pop, darkwave, gothic rock, 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.
Regulacion has also released material under the names DJ R<I>B, DJ Skooby, 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.
