UK-based blackened death force The Machinist has announced its sophomore album. Contempt For Life is due on 24 January through InViMa Records.
Contempt For Life drags the listener into a broken world, a shattered, malignant vision of bleak and hopeless horror. The title track rages at our weaknesses, pitiless in its exposure of our folly, screaming at the arrogance that has brought humanity to this ending in ash...
This second album from The Machinist retains all the exhilarating drive towards annihilation of its predecessor, I Am Void ( 2020), adding new depths and dimensions to its unflinching nihilism. None allow the slightest glimpse of light to penetrate the all-consuming darkness.
Contempt For Life was mixed and mastered by the renowned George Nerantzis (Abbath, Dark Funeral, Rotting Christ, etc.) and adorned in the artwork of Duncan Macpherson (Extinction Of Mankind, Deus Mori). The album perfectly captures the vehement entity that is The Machinist. Prepare to face a head-on, blasting collision with the terrifying truth of the human condition. There are no happy endings here. Link
