God Body Disconnect is a New Jersey (USA) based musical project by Bruce Moallem. Previously, Bruce has been both drummer and lyricist to the experimental death metal act, Dripping. Over the course of some years, God Body Disconnect has developed and refined a unique sound which focuses on a personal exploration of the unconscious mind. His debut album, Dredge Portals, speak to the facets of the individual self immersing the listener into a first person account of the mind’s excavation. With the use of field recordings and a vocal narration, his melodic passages reflect an array of human emotions layered by both beauty and dark brooding forces.
God Body Disconnect debuts on Cryo Chamber with Dredge Portals, an emotional roller coaster of an album that reaches through several genres of music to serve us a strong narrative of storytelling.
Using everything from electronics, guitars to field recordings and vocals this is an incredibly diverse album not to be missed.

Sentenced to this prison of beeping machines and wires
Forced to watch the world unfold from behind the veil of suspended hell
Nobody ever expects to end up here. Not like this…
God Body Disconnect presents us with the next chapter in his saga of a comatose man banished to the recesses of his tortured mind. The journey begins taking us back to the fateful night of his sentencing. Beyond the halls of beeping machines, whirling sirens echo in the distance. Blackened clouds grumble down a bitter melody of tears upon the streets. A single shot blares between your ears, dropping you to the bed of concrete below. Here we witness the transformation of a once awakened man turned to sleeping prisoner.
Plunging deeper into the heart of the unconscious mind, the doors to a mysterious labyrinth emerge before us. From behind the towering walls, strange voices beckon us to enter. We insert and turn the key, unlocking a hidden portal to the past. A forgotten dimension, where once suppressed memories now filter through the lens of the surreal. This is the place where our darkest reflections go to hide. Self-perception is liquid here, and the emotional landscapes morph at will.
Deep bass, ethereal guitar and post rock influences mixed with Vocal narration and Binaural field recordings, This album has it all. A sonic explosion of the senses and a deeply moving and personal experience brought to the microphone.

Quote
God Body Disconnect presents us his third album on Cryo Chamber. An atmospheric journey dealing with loneliness and solitude.
A desperate dream shaped by loneliness. A dwelling place behind the world, disconnected from oneself. The cycle of becoming and unbecoming the wrong person. It is only when forced to question mortality, that everything begins to change. The beginning comes with an end.
Layered guitar builds walls of sound on top of textured field recordings and spoken word. Recommended for fans of film soundtracks and cinematic ambient.
"The grief of the living is like a cavernous dream A never ending descent on a flight without wings Blinding doors lead to oceans, the apparitions of truth Each mirror, a reflection of stairs through a tomb A sleeper has awakened, and a God has died Yet we mourn upon the backs of ghosts inside But if you look to the north, there’s a river with an infinite flow Beyond the vast sepia fields, you can feel its beckoning glow Like the existence of stars within the forests of men Through the thicket of the abyss, awaits a beginning and an end" credits released June 4, 2019
