Hailing from Manchester, U.K, The Machinist mix intense death metal, Black Metal and industrial music.
“Contempt For Life” is the furious follow up to 2020’s debut album, “I Am Void”.
Razor sharp and deliberately electronic programmed drums form the backbone to a thick layer of 7 string guitars, along with liberal use of synthesisers. The members are let off the leash with more technical riffing and solos, making the album broader in scope, the songs having more richly varied textures and dynamics, but each with a core of blackness at it's heart that makes “I Am Void” look like a walk through the daisies.
It’s colder, darker, bleaker, more complex, more technically accomplished and much much angrier, with ferocious production and mastering by George Nerantzis (whose credits include Dark Funeral). It also features the last vocal performances for the band by Scott Walton, who sadly had to step down before this album could be completed. His contributions have been left in place, untouched and unedited.
It’s not a record that’s concerned with whether or not we can save ourselves, or whether we can prevent disaster. It’s more concerned with how ugly the future will be. We’ve bought and paid for our future. Let’s see how ugly it can get.
