Sybreed (a portmanteau of "synthetic" and "breed") is a Swiss industrial metal band from Geneva. The band was founded in 2003 by vocalist Benjamin Nominet and guitarist Thomas "Drop" Betrisey. Sybreed disbanded in 2013 when Nominet departed from the group, and reunited in 2025.

==History== The band was founded by Thomas "Drop" Betrisey (guitar) and Benjamin Nominet (vocals) after their previous band Rain broke-up. They recruited Luis "Burn" Da Silva Cruz on bass and Alex Anxonnia on drums to record their debut album, Slave Design, produced by Drop and Claude Lander. Slave Design was released on 7 September 2004 through Reality Entertainment/Caroline Distribution. In early 2006, the band uploaded a song entitled "Emma-Zero" to its MySpace page; this song would appear on Antares under the name "Emma-O". Drummer Alex Anxonnia departed Sybreed in February 2006, citing musical and personal differences; Anxonnia would form the industrial death metal band Etna in 2007, which became Breach the Void in 2009. Dirk Verbeuren was hired as a session musician that April to record the drums for the band's then upcoming album, which would be Antares. Antares was recorded and mixed throughout 2006 and was released on 1 October 2007 through Listenable Records.
