British DJ and producer Christian Hoffmann, better known as Toronto Is Broken, has released his fourth and self-titled album, TORONTOISBROKEN is now available from FiXT.
"This is a self-titled album," explains Hoffmann. "It’s album number four for me, but I’m now known for Metal and Drum & Bass. It was only after Clare that I really worked out my sound, my identity. I’ve worked out who I am.”
Toronto Is Broken's highly-anticipated self-titled album is a groundbreaking fusion of Metalcore and EDM that bridges the gap between two seemingly disparate worlds, creating a unique and exhilarating sound that will resonate with fans of both Metalcore and EDM. Featuring appearances from Sebotage, REEBZ, Fight The Fade, Lateral, and Natty Lou, and George Lever featuring his pulse-hammering guitar performances, TORONTOISBROKEN immerses fans in a world of the macabre taking inspiration from French horror cinema. The album captures the essence of extreme horror, immersing listeners in a chaotic and high-energy soundscape that is both brutal and intense.
Hoffmann worked closely with REEBZ and Sebotage on the album wanting it to appear as a band effort. He explains, "I wanted it to feel like a band effort, with the same people throughout with Seb and REEBZ. Usually, when it’s just me and a vocalist, we focus on the one track. What makes this album different is we had the old-school writing sessions, the three of us. We focused on the entire album. It’s still a Toronto Is Broken album. But even the tracks that REEBZ wasn’t on, she still provided input.” This group effort has pushed the album to new and terrifying heights and given rise to electrifying tracks such as the fatalistic "Raw," and "Martyrs," a brutal fusion of Drum & Bass, and the turbulent single "Breed" featuring REEBZ's screaming vocals all featuring George Lever's guitar work and all names of horror movie titles.
"Like a VHS tape recording, the whole idea," explains Toronto Is Broken. "Imagine you’ve found a dodgy film, analogue horror aesthetic. You’ve found the Blair Witch tapes but less annoying and a bit more messed up.” Toronto Is Broken, along with consistent collaborators REEBZ and Sebotage, have meticulously crafted an album that pushes the boundaries of musical experimentation and fused it with extreme horror. "I wanted it to feel like a band effort, with the same people throughout with Seb and REEBZ. "Usually when it's just me and a vocalist, we focus on the one track. What makes this album different is we had the old-school writing sessions, the three of us. We focused on the entire album," explains Toronto Is Broken. "It's designed to be listened to in a club, Drum & Bass with guitars in it as opposed to Drum and Bass and Metal straight down the line."
Releasing with the album is a dark and ominous music video for "Shower Prayer" featuring the alluring and at times brutal vocals from REEBZ. The track exploring themes of love, death, and fear ruthlessly fuses Electronic, Rock, and Nu-Metal and is a savage crowning achievement for the album on release day.
Christian Hoffmann, better known as Toronto Is Broken, is a British DJ and producer based in Leicestershire. Christian Hoffmann's initial venture into the world of music started out with a guitar whilst at school, and after various attempts to attract bands with his passion, he went on a solo mission to produce electronic music inspired by Enter Shikari’s first album Take to the Skies. Several years of work and perseverance later, Christian went on to be picked up by the UK bass label Sub Slayers, run by former Kiss FM and RAM Records president Jay Cunning. His first release The Move It EP received high praise and featured “Spirit Song 2012”, played by everyone from Paul Oakenfold to Sub Focus. “Spirit Song 2012” was also used as the main piece in the Arcadia Spectacular show at festivals all over the world.
REEBZ, possibly reptilian, is definitely weird. REEBZ is the new creepy kid on the electronic block. Somewhere between alien and human REEBZ is a fiery new act to watch.
"Shower Prayer" (feat. REEBZ) is out now on all platforms from FiXT.
