TORONTO IS BROKEN combine their love for EDM, metalcore & horror films and the output is awesome

Leicester is home to a UK homegrown talent the world has to hear. DJ / Producer and EDM/ metalcore connoisseur Christian Hoffmann has just released his 4th album under the guise Toronto Is Broken. Melding the raw energy of EDM with the intricate, emotional, charged delivery of metalcore, this album – TORONTOISBROKEN – is full of collabs that bring the final touches to this multi-genre release. With 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.

“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.”
