Techno Animal was formed in London in 1990 by Justin Broadrick (Godflesh) and Kevin Martin (The Bug), combining industrial noise, dub, dark ambient, and hip-hop into an early example of what would later be called illbient. Their debut Ghosts appeared in 1991, with subsequent albums released through Virgin Records, and the project disbanded in 2001 after six LPs spanning a decade. Broadrick and Martin reunited in 2017 under the name Zonal, continuing the sonic legacy of Techno Animal in a new context.
