Jean-Luc De Meyer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jean-Luc De Meyer is a vocalist and lyricist who is best known as the lead vocalist of innovative Belgian Industrial group Front 242.
De Meyer joined Front 242 early in their history and his inpassive growl became part of the group's trademark sound as their reputation grew during the late 1980's. But by the early 90's the Front 242 formula seemed to be tiring and there were growing musical differences within the group. Around this time De Meyer took a (voluntary?) sabbatical from 242 to focus on side projects.
The most prominent of these was Cyber-Tec Project - later known as C-Tec. C-Tec produced two erratically brilliant albums before fizzling out towards the end of the '90's, whilst his other project Cobalt 60 was more coolly received.
De Meyer also performed vocals with Bigod 20 on their single "The Bog", with Birmingham 6 on their album "Error of Judgment", and with Glis on their album "Nemesis". In 2006 he contributed the vocals to the song "Future Fail" of the actual Frontline Assembly album "Artificial Soldier" and guest vocals on the song "The Creature" of the actual Implant album "Audio Blender".
De Meyer rejoined Front 242 in 2001 and the group recently celebrated their twenty-fifth anniversary.
