Marc started recording while living in a squatter artist collective in 2005 playing in various bands with genres like black metal, grindcore, punk, and noise. In 2006 he released the 7" single Psychological Warfare. That same year Marc, Danny Cortez and Chris Anderson formed Zog, a NSBM outfit that disbanded 10 months later after the death of Danny Cortez. Marc took a break through 2007-2008 following a mental breakdown and continued his solo endeavor in 2009 releasing the seventy-two minute dark ambient dirge Rites of Zen and then Medicine, a fusion of free improvisation and avant-garde jazz. In 2011 Broude reissued Psychological Warfare as a free digital download and the thirty-seven minute experimental film Verrucose. Working independently of major labels, Marc Broude primarily records for his own label, NoZen Records.
Marc’s style is eclectic using low frequency sound exploration, field recordings, water, voltage-controlled oscillators, vocal moaning, screaming and scordatura notation. Marc’s sound draws from diverse musical genres including avant-garde and minimal composition, drone, experimental, musique concrète and industrial.
Marc has collaborated with a diverse array of artists and groups including Richard Ramirez and Lasse Marhaug. In October 2010 Broude and Tim Lash formed Sick Spider which disbanded months later surrounded by allegations of drug abuse.
