Title: .:The God Machine:.
Post by: decapod on Mar 06, 2010, 10:36 PM
These guys more than deserve a thread here. They were way ahead of their time, check them out...

The God Machine was an alternative rock band active in the first half of the 1990s. Its members were all from San Diego, California, but they all lived and performed mainly in the United Kingdom and across Europe.

The band consisted of three members, Robin Proper-Sheppard (born Gary Sheppard) (guitar/vocals), Jimmy Fernandez (bass) and Ronald Austin (drums), and they first performed officially under the name The God Machine in 1991. They released an EP, Purity with the record label Eve, and were later given contracts with the label Fiction. They released two albums in their career, both with their trademark dark and industrial-sounding alternative rock, before Jimmy Fernandez suddenly died from a cancerous brain tumour. Robin went on to form The Flower Shop Recordings label, and bands Sophia and The May Queens.

Their second album, One Last Laugh in a Place of Dying, was recognized by Alternative Press as one of the "90 greatest albums of the 90s" (#88) in their December 1998 issue

oh boy they were so good, indeed
good and very underrated

Scenes From The Second Storey is wonderful album, not some silly teeny alt.metal which is played nowadays., with a lot of stoner/psych elements
