What do you get when you get together the bass player from Head of David (Dave Cochrane), the bass player from jesu (Diarmuid Dalton) and the masterminds, guitarists and vocalists from jesu (Justin Broadrick) and Isis (Aaron Turner)? The most abrasive, most dissonant metal machine music since Godflesh’s Streetcleaner (which is still the blueprint of this sound Broadrick laid down twenty years ago), that’s what. Greymachine’s debut, Disconnected is two steps forward and one step back and loud and ugly and good in all of the ways this kind of noise should be. If you miss the discordance of Broadrick’s earlier work or you just need a good, hard kick in the ass, Greymachine is your ticket.
