Machine Called Man is a band committed to breaking
down stylistic boundaries and setting new standards within today’s metal
genre. Brought together by the common desire to create a brand of music
with integrity, intelligence and technical prowess, the band was formed
in June of 2002 and immediately began writing and recording. Combining
aspects of power, progressive, thrash and melodic death metal, the band
has spawned a dynamic form of music centering around textural
complexity. Drawing influence from bands such as Death, Cynic, and Control
Denied the band creates a distinctly unique sound that stands out from the
masses and defies the restrictions of genre.
Built upon the range of 7-string guitars the music takes the listener
on a roller coaster ride, combining melody and brutality into a sound
that is original and unique.
The first full-length demo recording released by the band in September
of 2002 received rave reviews from webzines and reviewers worldwide and
caused a reaction in the underground metal scene winning the approval
of fans around the world. The few shows played in support of the release
were also a great success, as the band went on to open up for such acts
as Symphony X and Zero Hour.
As a result the band decided to proceed with the recording of a
full-length debut album that
would feature all the material from the demo as well as new tracks.
Perennial lineup problems
as well as constant changes in schedule caused the recording sessions
to be delayed severely. Ultimately the recording, mixing and mastering
process was to take over a year.
With 2005 rapidly approaching and the mixing sessions nearing
completion, Machine Called Man made the decision to have Netherlands-based
mastering engineer Eddy "The San" Doorn put the finishing touches on the new
record. Ed's mastery was just what the music needed and after the final
finishing touches were added Machine Called Man's debut album '2.004'
was finally completed and ready to be unleashed on the world.
With the new record behind them, the band have resumed writing. The new
material currently in development, takes on a darker, more experimental
vibe while retaining the spirit of the original recordings and
remaining every bit worthy of the Machine Called Man moniker. Having persevered
through years of uncertainty and internal conflicts, the band feels
confident that 2005 will be the year which puts Machine Called Man
on the map as the new face of metal.
The evolution continues...
