PlanetMosh Keeping it Metal
ONE MACHINE, the brainchild of acclaimed guitarist/songwriter Steve Smyth (Testament, Nevermore, Forbidden, Dragonlord, Vicious Rumors), recently announced the impending release of their second full-length album, The Final Cull, out September 18th worldwide via Scarlet Records.
Today, the band is revealing a second blistering track from The Final Cull, entitled “Forewarning”. Listen now via MetalSucks: http://www.metalsucks.net/2015/08/27/premiere-forewarning-one-machine-ex-testament-forbidden-nevermore/
Guitarist Steve Smyth states, “Here is the opening song from our forthcoming album , The Final Cull, entitled “Forewarning”! Heavy out the gate, with a bit of a story inside the lyrics as well, which relate to advance warning of subliminal programming and psychological warfare, and the struggle to defeat it. This one was a lot of fun to tear up in the studio! One of the fastest songs on the album (and there’s lots of these on the album), so press play, turn it up, and TRY not to bang your head! We dare you!”

In this video, you will hear reasons from each member of ONE MACHINE regarding why they chose to record live as they have, and what they feel is the impact on the sound. This series includes snippets of new music and in-studio footage, in addition to discussing new The Final Cull songwriting, recording and subjects in connection with ONE MACHINE’s IndieGoGo crowdfunding campaign to help offset the costs incurred during the recording.
The IndieGoGo campaign also serves as the official album pre-order, which will be available in Digital Download, CD Digipak, and special edition vinyl formats. In addition, the campaign itself offers many great donation perks. For more information, please visit: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/one-machine-album-2-production-promo-tour#/story
Smyth states: “We already have a lot of great perks up now, from digital downloads of the album to signed CD digipaks and a vinyl release, but also music lessons from everyone in the band, as well as guitars! I’ve managed to have one of my Steve Smyth Signature 7 BC Rich guitars available as a perk, and Jamie Hunt also has an ESP Ltd. M17 7 string available as well, so head on over and buy today, before these are gone!”
