Blackburner is an American electronic music duo. Blackburner combines elements of dubstep, metal, and electronica. A buzz started for Blackburner by remixing tracks and releasing original compositions through Cleopatra Records, initially placing Blackburner alongside dubstep artists such as Rusko, Nero and Dubba Jonny.[2]

Blackburner’s debut album, Feel the Burn, featured guest appearances by Edgar Froese of Tangerine Dream, as well as John Wesley of Porcupine Tree. The single "Freak You" was used on a national Verizon FIOS Quantum advertisement,[3] and on NBC’s hit competition program America's Got Talent.

In the summer of 2012, Blackburner was asked to support industrial group Ministry on their AEG[4] (Anschutz Entertainment Group) American tour. They also appeared at SXSW 2012.[5] During this time, Blackburner met William Shatner[6] briefly, inspiring Skyla to write a sci-fi driven album, Planet Earth Attack.[7]
