ONE MACHINE: 'The Distortion Of Lies And The Overdriven Truth' Video Released
August 9, 2014
The video for"The Distortion Of Lies And The Overdriven Truth", the title track of the debut album fromONE MACHINE, the brainchild of acclaimed guitarist/songwriterSteve Smyth(TESTAMENT,NEVERMORE,FORBIDDEN,DRAGONLORD,VICIOUS RUMORS), can be seen below.
SaysSmyth: "A lot of work went into this, shooting with the excellentAnthony Dubois, then over to an old friend of mine I've been waiting to work with,Mike Sloat. Both guys were great to work with, and together, I think we've brought the truth in the distortion of lies in the world with this video."
"The Distortion Of Lies And The Overdriven Truth"was released on February 18 viaScarlet Records. The CD was recorded and produced bySteve Smythand was mixed byRoy Z(JUDAS PRIEST,BRUCE DICKINSON,HALFORD). It was mastered byAlan Douches(3 INCHES OF BLOOD,FIREWIND,SEPULTURA) atWest West Side Music, with artwork created byNiklas SundinfromCabin Fever Media(DARK TRANQUILLITY,ARCH ENEMY), complemented with photography fromAnthony Dubois(MESHUGGAH,MNEMIC).
VocalistMikkel Sandager(MERCENARY) leftONE MACHINEthis past spring due to "personal and business differences" and has been replaced byChris Hawkins(METALHEAD). The band's current lineup is rounded out byJamie Hunt(BIOMECHANICAL) on guitar,Tomas "O'Beast" Koefoed(MNEMIC) on bass andMichele Sannaon drums (although former drummerRaphael Sainiof Italian progressive metallersCHAOSWAVEplayed on the album).
Smythhad often given thought to leading his own band throughout his distinguished career as a member of bands includingTESTAMENT,NEVERMOREandFORBIDDEN, among others. He had written a number of songs, but the challenge of finding the right members to bring them to life remained. He found a more than capable shredding second guitarist inJamie Hunt, and the two began collaborating on the materialSmythhad.
"Jamie's playing complements mine extremely well, and we hit it off perfectly when we got together to work on the songs," saidSmyth.
