Saviour Machine was originally formed in California, USA, in the summer of 1989 by Eric Clayton. In 1990 they recorded and released their first demo. After two years of rehearsing, hard work and live shows they signed a record deal with Frontline Records and released Saviour Machine I in 1993. In 1994 Saviour Machine II was released and in December Eric Clayton and his European management formed their own independent label MCM music in order to release all their future material. The lyrics are of a Christian nature.
