zenmetalshirt is experimental electronica, industrial, breakcore, metal,ambient.
zenmetalshirt is a one man - music - project formed in 1997. it has grown out of roy’s need to develop his musical world beyond trend-measurements.
his ambition is to produce powerful, straightforward music.
there is no preproduced stuff in his music.
a review from streetblast.com about zenmetalshirt in january 08:
...a phenomena emerging from Zurich, Switzerland
...an acquired listen at first, and becomes almost addictive thereafter. It’s the rawest form of acid/industrial...
I have NOT heard anything like this before, and that is refreshing.
...it cannot be compared to anything produced by the like of NIN, Skinny Puppy, or other bands in this class.
In review, would I recommend this music? Sure. This is not sanitized by any means, and the mainstream market would turn up their nose with ignorance to the art form that is this choreographed "noise," simply because they would not be able to understand the vision and depth of the musical techniques involved.
Sophistication is a great word to define the results of "Zen Metal Shirt’s" tracks, only because this is an exhibition of musical genius, and not a sugar coated mechanism to simplify electronic music.
The exploration of sound, in it’s rawest and yet advanced electronic form is exciting for me. "Zen Metal Shirt" is the supplier of that excitement, and while it may be an acquired listen at first, it could be the future of electronic music.

january 15.07: fugue on terrorism - collaboration with the great pappa thorpe
pappa sent 22 waves to me; i mashed them up with my live-recorded and looped drumbeats, arranged and send them back...he reorded some beautiful voice over - vocals and out comes the new electronic-industrial-metal-flow-job (go to pappa thorpes myspace-site here )...
...a kind of psychedelic nightmare originated by the overpowering information & fear overload of the massmedia and governments.
