Biography

bryan was a sound designer, and keyboard technician for Prince and The New Power Generation in the late 90’s.

After working at Paisley Park Studios, bryan saved enough money and decided to make his own records. Under the name of haloblack, ‘>Tension Filter<’ (1994), ‘FunkyHell’ (1996), ‘Raw Tension’ (2001) and ‘Throb’ (2004) were released.
Released on Caroline/ Fifth Column Records, FunkyHell quickly became an underground hit. It was in the top 10 for Rolling Stone’s alternative charts, and Alternative Press magazine branded it as ‘One of the 10 Best Industrial Rock Albums’ (of all time).

haloblack supported Marilyn Manson in Minneapolis the same year, before bryan decided to move to London and start completely all over again.

At this time, bryan started working with Felix Da Housecat on his new album, ‘Devin Dazzle and The Neon Fever’. Felix and Bryan found a shared interest in the early sounds of Prince mixed with the modern production techniques available today. After finishing work on the Felix record, Bryan and Felix worked on bryan’s XLOVER project together.

After an explosive live performance at the Berlin Love Parade, DJ Hell signed XLOVER to his label, International DeeJay Gigolo Records. The debut record, ‘Pleasure & Romance’ soon followed, and proved to be the most ambitious and successful record of bryan’s career so far.

    The "Warzone" Version of "Balance" on the Raw Tension EP is MUCH better than the original song (which's still great). damn, too less people do know this EP, it's very sad because there are so many great tracks on it.

    I already heard their regular albums a billion times (and still love every single one), but now I've finally found the >Raw Tension< record that was relesed through MP3.com in 1998. Really good to hear some 'new' Haloblack although it's freakin' old, haha! I really wonder why such good music is so poorly archived, it was almost impossible for me to obtain these files...

    finally got "Throb" for a few weeks now, and some wonderful songs are on it, like "Junky", "Out There", "Punch The Deck", "Why?" and "Drugbeat". but there's NO filler on this album. not a single song... love the druggy trip-hop influences on Throb. trip-hop with MALE vocals by the way is great (Tricky's "Maxinquaye" for example). why do most trip hop bands / artists have female singers? a pity although there are good female singers in that genre...

    After >Tension Filter< was such a success for my ears and brain (and allowed Haloblack btw to lead my weekly charts 6 times in a row!) Funky Hell arrived today. I will Definitely listen to it as soon as possible. Thanks Bryan, thanks for all your Projects you're involved in (especially for Haloblack and H3llb3nt).

    MOTOR is great, but another Haloblack album would be so freakin' awesome 8-)

    One more HB album would satisfy me. Throb was awesome. Not looking good, though. I do enjoy Motor, however.

    On another note some of the tags are just way off. Gothic? EBM?
