Broadrick started Greymachine as a solo project with some "drum beats I'd recorded, along with very abstract, improvised guitar parts and lot's [sic] of synth noise."[3] He eventually enlisted other contributors for the project.[3] The debut album of the act, Disconnected, was released on 4 August 2009, via Turner's own record label, Hydra Head Records.[4] Allmusic described the album as "one of the most anticipated metal records of the year."[5] The track “Vultures Descend” from the album was released as a promotional single.[6]
About the project, Broadrick stated: "Most of my music has a strong sense of misanthropy. Greymachine just [more obviously] deals with self loathing, self disgust, frustration, isolation, disillusionment, ego, exhibitionism and utter confusion, fear and disenchantment."[3]
