The Machinist are a band from the United Kingdom that has been featured before in this zine and plays a mixture of industrial and blackened death metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Contempt For Life" which was released by Invima Records.
A very heavy and brutal sound starts off the album while the faster sections of the album also add in a great amount of blast beats. Vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody and all of the drum beats are also programmed.
When guitar solos and leads are utilzied they also bring in more of an old school death metal while clear singing can also be heard at times. Elements of industrial are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording along with some tracks also adding in a small amount of keyboards and clean playing.
The songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, spoken words are also used briefly as well as some tremolo picking also being added into some of the faster riffing at times, some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover hateful and misanthropic themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from The Machinist and if you are a fan of industrial and blackened death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Contempt For Life" "Gog" and "Cracks". 8 out of 10.
