“This track is a collaboration with Amir Derakh from Julien-K, Orgy, and Dead by Sunrise (slide guitar) as well as Tony Franklin from The Firm, Whitesnake, Blue Murder (fretless bass). The track explores the inevitability of loss and the human experience” says the band.

The band’s music is deeply eclectic across the rock genre with powerful vocal harmonies to tie their melodies together. Fronted by Max Watson (lead vocals, guitars, keys) who plays alongside Jake Watson (guitars, backing vocals) and Mark Marks (Bass), and anchored by Keith Watson (drums, backing vocals, primary lyricist) they form what is a tight knit rock and roll band that is The Intemperate Sons.

THE MACHINIST Announce New Album “All is Not Well”; Title Track Unleashed

Resurfacing from both global and deeply personal unrest THE MACHINIST have today announced their second album, All is Not Well, as well as premiering the title-track and its accompanying music video via Metal Injection. Ready to leave their own indelible mark on 2022 with their idiosyncratic blend of extreme metal and hardcore, All is Not Well is set for release via Prosthetic Records on July 8.

LISTEN TO ALL IS NOT WELL & WATCH THE ACCOMPANYING MUSIC VIDEO VIA METAL INJECTION HERE.

All is Not Well (single) is now available on all streaming platforms.

Pre-order and pre-save the album here.

Speaking on the album, Amanda Gjelaj (vocals) comments: “Writing and recording for this album was incredible. I worked with both Ricky Armelino and my fiancé Brian Ginzberg to put together the best possible lyrics, vocal melodies and patterns. Also, I wanted to make sure that what THE MACHINIST believes in, stands for and are against as a band is heard. All is Not Well and PIG, for example, are both completely different songs speaking about different issues with different sounds to them. Throughout the whole album numerous things are brought up from from mental health, aliens, losing a loved one and political and global issues. It has variety and a lot of meaning. I really hope it connects with our fans as this is something I personally love to do and I know the rest of THE MACHINIST does as well.”

Three years on from their debut full length, Confidimus in Morte, and following US and Canadian tours alongside Falsifier and Black Tongue as well as US support slots with While She Sleeps and Vulvodynia respectively, the New York, NY trio have undergone a transformative process of upheaval. In the immediate wake of the Coronavirus pandemic that ravaged their homestate, THE MACHINIST found themselves at ground zero in New York in the early stages of All is Not Well’s creation. With a state of emergency declared, all studio work on the record ceased for an indeterminate time. In this universal limbo the groups core of Amanda Gjelaj (vocals), Josh Gomez (guitar) and Steve Ciorciari (drums) watched on in horror as 2020s political climate began to fall under the weight of itself alongside societal ills and the spread of rampant misinformation.

Resuming recording as the world tentatively took to recovery, THE MACHINIST teamed up with Daniel “DL” Laskiewicz (Bad Wolves, ex-The Acacia Strain) to produce, mix and master their sophomore effort, with help from Ice Nine Kills’ Ricky Armellino for vocal tracking. The time spent in isolation and witnessing the horrors of police brutality (explored on PIG), inflammatory politics and minority communities coming to terms with loss sits restlessly within the marrow of All is Not Well’s lyrical themes. Sonically, Gomez’s penchant for converging both death metal brutality and intricate melodic metal and hardcore serves as a counterpart to All is Not Well’s excoriating kickback at a world in crisis.

THE MACHINIST’s latest effort finds the band embracing more melodious territory and refining their more expansive inclinations with Gjelaj’s vocal performance looming large as an anchoring force on the release’s nine tracks. Across All is Not Well’s 34 minute runtime, it’s plain to see that THE MACHINIST’s decade long existence has led to All is Not Well being the most conceptually and musically realised incarnation of the band yet.

Standing tall in 2022, THE MACHINIST discards solipsistic tunnel vision for a wider scope of the personal and political. All is Not Well refuses to resign in the face of the current climate’s ongoing political and personal divisions, opting instead to shine a light and give a platform for the chance of hope.

All is Not Well tracklist:
1. PIG
2. Mother Earth
3. All is Not Well
4. Hourglass
5. The Final Encounter
6. Death’s Embrace
7. Lysergic Lullaby
8. Monsters
9. Letter in Red

Upcoming THE MACHINIST tour dates:

BLACK SMOKE TRIGGER Working with Grammy Award-Winning Producer NICK RASKULINECZ for Debut EP

Fast-rising New Zealand rockers Black Smoke Trigger entered producer Nick Raskulinecz’s (Alice in Chains, Foo Fighters, Halestorm) Rock Falcon studio on April 20th to record their first official EP. The band has collaborated with Disturbed’s David Draiman, Marti Frederickson (Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne), Blair Daly and Zac Maloy (Shinedown, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Keith Urban) and Keith Wallen (of Breaking Benjamin).

The young lineup—vocalist Baldrick, guitarist Charlie Wallace, bassist Dan Fulton and drummer Josh Te Maro—signed with manager Andy Gould (Pantera, Linkin Park, Rob Zombie) from L.A.-based Spectacle Entertainment Group and are co-managed with Nico Golfar, marking the most high-profile management deal inked by any rock band from New Zealand.

Gould states… “I saw the video for ‘Caught in the Undertow’ that this band from New Zealand made themselves and it was everything I love about rock music. The visuals and song were great. Digging deeper, I realized this band had crazy talent and it was something I had to be involved with. When playing it for some of my friends (including Jim Morewood/John Jackson from K2 Touring) they agreed this was a band that was only going up.”

In connecting with Raskulinecz as their producer, guitarist Wallace noted, “You can hear his passion. He was someone the band really resonated with. The vision that he has, the music he creates, and the performances he draws out of bands like Korn, Ghost, Deftones, and of course, Alice In Chains. We couldn’t be more excited.”

They are recording brand-new songs in Nashville that capture Black Smoke Trigger’s unique rock flavor. The co-write with Draiman is “a heavy, hard-hitting song you can’t ignore” the band explains. Other tracks will showcase the band’s signature no-holds-barred modern rock blitz.

It will technically be Black Smoke Trigger’s second release; the first EP was tracked a mere three months after they formed in 2019. BST recorded Set It Off with producer Michael Wagener (Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne). The singles “Caught In The Undertow” and “You Can Have it All” introduced a young band with old souls. The cut “The Way I’m Wired” featured Mötley Crüe guitarist Mick Mars. The Set It Off EP jumped onto the Billboard charts with #12 Hard Rock Album Sales and #13 Heatseekers Albums.

Check out the “Caught in the Undertow” video here:

“Our first EP was really an homage to our influences. Since then we’ve had a lot of time to sit together in a room to write and play, and our new material is representative of who we are as a band in 2022. We’ve grown so much in the last few years, matured, and come into our own as songwriters. The upside of being in one of the most aggressive lockdowns in the world is that it really allowed us the time to pull out our best material ”

The New Zealand-based 4-piece was poised for their first-ever U.S. tour in 2021 that included a show at the Whisky A GoGo in Los Angeles with Drowning Pool, hed P.E. and Il Nino. However, Covid travel restrictions halted those plans.

“We’ve been waiting a long time to record and play in the U.S. and it’s finally here,” Wallace says. “We’re beyond excited to record in Nashville with Nick to make the best possible record we can.”

Bulgarian ODD CREW Release Haunting New Single + Video for ‘Desert Skies’

Sofia-based ODD CREW are currently gearing up for the release of their sixth studio album, entitled Dark Matters (Part I), that drops on May 27th via Drakkar Entertainment. Following four previously released album singles, accompanied with a series of emotionally shattering, black and white music videos, today the Bulgarian four-piece, who grew up together since they were kids, shared another haunting single and video clip ahead of official album release!

Guitarist Vasil Parvanovski reveals: “The four of us grew up loving the music of Black Sabbath. This has always inspired us to make songs that are close to our souls. This is also the case with this song. ‘Desert Skies’ is one of the most sentimental and personal tracks we have ever written. Each one of us put a lot of emotions in it. We dedicated it to our children, because its message is about our hope to leave a better world for them and the next generations.”

Following five much acclaimed studio records, two DVDs and countless live shows over more than two decades, Dark Matters (Part 1) sees ODD CREW reach their musical maturity on a new level, and one that doubles down on the band’s songwriting skills and exceptional talent. Their forthcoming album will be ‘heavier, slow and rough’, as the melancholic, emotional and breathtaking facets of this epic record prove. ODD CREW may have stepped out as one of Bulgaria’s best kept heavy rock and metal secrets long ago, but their new album will make them indispensable for the global heavy music scene.

Dark Matters (Part 1) was recorded, mixed and mastered by ODD CREW in their own “ButcherHouse Studio”. Furthermore, the band just recently announced that there will be four album parts in total, entitled ‘Dark Matters’, and also that a feature film for the first part will be released soon.The album pre-sale for Part 1, slated for a release on May 27th through Drakkar Entertainment, is available at THIS LOCATION!
