Disconnected is the debut album by experimental music act Greymachine, featuring Justin Broadrick, Aaron Turner, Dave Cochrane and Diarmuid Dalton. Produced by Broadrick, it was released on 4 August 2009 via Turner's own record label, Hydra Head Records.
The track "Vultures Descend" was released as a limited edition promotional single on 12 May 2009.
According to Allmusic's Phil Freeman, the songs on Disconnected, "most of which run in the eight- to nine-minute range, all feature a heavy combination of huge beats, sludgily dissonant guitar riffs, industrial electronics, and raw-throated howls." "Droning soundscapes layered into weighted guitar riffs, feedback and general noise" are also present on the record. These take influence from various genres of experimental music, including noise music, no wave and free jazz. The album is also indebted to its members' earlier work on records, like Godflesh's Streetcleaner, Isis's Celestial, Ice's Under the Skin, and God's The Anatomy of Addiction. Nevertheless, according to Iann Robinson of CraveOnline, the record still retains "a punk rock influence born form The Stooges or The Screamers."Sonic Youth, Sun Ra and Throbbing Gristle were reported to be additional influences and likes.
