History

[edit]

haloblack was formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota by Bryan Barton (as Bryan Black).[1] His first release was the cassette HB2 in 1992. Musicians Olivier Grasset and Arianne Schreiber joined to Barton make haloblack into a band and Fifth Colvmn Records signed them in 1994, releasing the band's debut album titled Tension Filter in November.[2][3] The music was favorably compared to Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails and the compositional depth received praise.[4] The band followed that release in 1995 with the EP titled raw tension e.p..[5] haloblack moved to a less guitar driven sound for their third and final full-length album funkyhell, released in 1996 for Fifth Colvmn.[6][7][8] The album was highly informed by electronica music and lead with the track "Distractor", which had previously appeared on the Fascist Communist Revolutionaries various artists compilation.[9][10][11] In 1997 Haloblack has received commissions to score sonic backgrounds for 3D video games.[12][13]

After the haloblack's second album Barton moved from Minneapolis to London in the late 90s.[14] After being inspired to write again after listening extensively to Maxinquaye by Tricky and other electronic music Barton began working on a third album.[15] The band released Throb on the United Kingdom-based music labels Armalyte Industries and The Sick City.[16] The album was made with collaborative efforts of musicians Kraig Tyler, Charles Levi, Raymond Watts and Olivier Grasset.[17][18]
