BROKEN DOWN “First Spit” /CD Digisleeve/

The second full-length studio album by French Stoner/Industrial Metal one-man-band.
Nail-sharp beats and brutish Industrial guitars bounce back and forth dangerously between clean vocals and Extreme Metal elements, with a frightful Fear Factory on trips vibe. Placing elements of Synth, Dance, Thrash, Alternative and Punk into every tune with everything else that is thrown in, there is a temptation to accuse this guy of over cooking, but breaking down, he has done it with an appreciation of his craft!
Touching on a tinkle of Blues, in the three-step chord stutter on 'Nightly Trance', this machine is fitted with teeth in quite a multitude of sizes. Octanial in most places, Ambient in others, "Drop Dead..." does certainly Entertain!!
For fans of Strapping Young Lad, Ministry & Front line Assembly.

The first full-length studio album by French Industrial Metal one-man-band.
"The Other Shore" merged the aggression of Hardcore Punk and Groove Metal with the experimentation of Industrial music and the catchiness of Arena-size Rock choruses. But don't fear this melting-pot of genres. Broken Down's music is challenging, and it rewards closer scrutiny on headphones, but it is also a honed vision that you can still party on.
"The Other Shore" is immediate for the tolerant, avid music lover and eager for new challenges. Going to the other side of the shore, Jeff Maurer completed a Calvary to regain the light and become one of the great hopes of French industrial metal scene
A great album, one that can become the staple of the genre in future!
For fans of Rammstein, Nine Inch Nails, Strapping Young Lad, Ministry & Front line Assembly.
