MATER
MACHINA was
born in the beginning of 2002
in the North-West
of Italy, with the intent to realize a sort of metalcore apart from
old cliches, looking towards to other styles but maintaining a
powerful impact. The
choice of the monicker lets perceive the undertaken direction: a style
which reminds the listener of the repetitive, obsessive and perfect
power of machines, that could improve metalcore concept leaving behind
the old metal and classic hardcore habits. Former
line up was made up of 5 elements coming from different musical experiences:
Valynor (vocals), at first into black metal; Anti (rhythm guitar) and
Lace (bass) interested in nu metal and brutal death; Simone (lead guitar)
and Erik (drums) who have been sharing for many years the same passion
for techno-thrash/death playing together in various bands. At
the beginning of 2003, MATER MACHINA made its debut on the scene with
the minicd "... Into Serenity" which collected great reviews
soon becoming a new sensation in the Italian underground scene, but
obviously, with a not completely defined musical style. The band had
to clean up his style from some influences and tried to find and focus
the real core of its music. This
release caught the attention of HARDEBARAN promotion & management
that permitted "... Into Serenity" to be aired on main European
and American radios, carrying the band to be known and appreciated outside
Italy. 2004,
year of inner schism and band improvement. MATER MACHINA records a full
lenght album at ONE VOICE STUDIO with Danny Giordana (already behind
the console with Hatebreed, Madball, Agnostic Front, Biohazard and many
more). The recording session still involved original bass player Lace
and Danny Giordana took his part as a Co-producer with the rest of band.
The band lost founding member Anti (rhythm guitar) and replaced bassist
Lace with Lorenzo, who showed a great familiarity with complicated rhythm
patterns and was ready to perform on stage after only two months of
practice with his new band. The
nucleus of MATER MACHINA mantains unchanged force and solidity in spite
of the difficulties met, obtaining unequivocal confirmations of its
quality, and trying to make a further step with a licence and distribution
contract for the new master, in Italy and abroad. |
