│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Well the NWOBHM is making a comeback. So many ║ │
│║ acts that had moments in the 1980's are flying ║ │
│║ in to bomb the scene with intent again and here ║ │
│║ we have DEEP MACHINE. Now you could be forgiven ║ │
│║ for thinking all of these band have been ║ │
│║ dormant, for all this time, some have (SATAN / ║ │
│║ VARDIS) and some have not (DIAMOND HEAD / ║ │
│║ AVENGER) but here we are looking at the new, ║ │
│║ first full length, album from DEEP MACHINE. They ║ │
│║ claim they survived the NWOBHM and without a ║ │
│║ deal as they were born in 1979 but except for ║ │
│║ the odd EP the 'deal' eluded them, but here to ║ │
│║ make up for that is ''Rise Of The Machine''. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ They have respectable connective tissueàmembers ║ │
│║ being associated with Paul Di'Anno and his ║ │
│║ LONEWOLF project, ANGELWITCH main brain Kevin ║ │
│║ Heybourne joining for a spell and even TOKYO ║ │
│║ BLADE are connected here. So with all that in ║ │
│║ mindàthey have some pretty cool credit on their ║ │
│║ sideàbut what of the groovesàwhat is in their? ║ │
│║ Let's march on to WAR. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ 9 tracks and opening up is ôThe Wizardö, ║ │
│║ thinking BLACK SABBATH? Well they were heavily ║ │
│║ influenced by IRON MAIDEN and JUDAS PRIEST ║ │
│║ (Early) and you can hear bit of both without ║ │
│║ doubtàbut no SABBATH there. Yes I know lots of ║ │
│║ bands from the day had all that going on but ║ │
│║ some fought for their own individuality, while ║ │
│║ some were quite content to 'sound alike'. ôThe ║ │
│║ Gatheringö, ôI am everythingö, a monstrous voice ║ │
│║ tells us, and then a cook riff with nice ║ │
│║ harmony, feeling nicely PRIEST, cool atmosphere, ║ │
│║ and feel, although old school of course, I think ║ │
│║ the music is more contemporary Metal in parts, ║ │
│║ whereas the vocals are where the dating comes in ║ │
│║ phrasing and lyrically this is the 80's again, ║ │
│║ for good or bad. ôThe Gladiatorö comes thumping ║ │
│║ in with a ôLove It Loudö drums pattern, some ║ │
│║ ôUnitedö touches too, going be a big old cloud ║ │
│║ clapper, chanter here. Well no huge 'all sing' ║ │
│║ chorus, but touched of the old Biff and SAXON as ║ │
│║ well and as a bonus, cool solo to boot. ║ │
│║ ôWarheadö comes next but unlike the ugliness and ║ │
│║ power of VENOM, this is cleaner and crisp, nice ║ │
│║ upbeat pace track, reminds me of a few bands ║ │
│║ actually. They shows they have been playing for ║ │
│║ a while that is for sure, performances is ║ │
│║ confident, production is clear and balanced. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Ah ôBlack Priestessö and a touch of acoustic ║ │
│║ into, some DIO-esque vocal shaping of Heavy ║ │
│║ Metal, you are so good to us lol, they even ║ │
│║ mention Satan and then it has a MAIDEN shape as ║ │
│║ well and man, it could be ANGELWITCH just ║ │
│║ missing Kev's voice. A cool song. Now ôHell ║ │
│║ Forestö, fuck yeah it is and it happily bounces ║ │
│║ along with classic rhythm pattern, a shout goes ║ │
│║ out ôHell Forestö, no one knows your name, and ║ │
│║ to be fair why would they unless it was ║ │
│║ something like Jeff or David and they took a ║ │
│║ wild guess. ôWitchildö, the son of the devil, ah ║ │
│║ yes, this is probably the heaviest track yet, ║ │
│║ darker, I like this and it has a chant chorus ║ │
│║ for you too, so you get a shot at helping out ║ │
│║ too, bit of old wah wah and a tremolo dive as ║ │
│║ well, all has to be good with the world then. ║ │
│║ ôCelebrophileö, doesn't need too much ║ │
│║ explaining, I mean you can guess the lyrical ║ │
│║ direction right? Fame and parasitesàand well, ║ │
│║ bollox to be exact, X factor, bottom feeding, or ║ │
│║ needy people, a good old rocking beat and again ║ │
│║ some cool riffage going on, this band is very ║ │
│║ solid, so we draw to a close on DEEP MACHINE and ║ │
│║ there, well debut album, wow that is mad, 1979 û ║ │
│║ 2014, friggin A!!! lolà ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ôWhispers In The Blackö and it starts with a ║ │
│║ whisper and opens like MAIDEN before becoming ║ │
│║ PRIEST, if they wanted a calling card, something ║ │
│║ to say this is who we are, then this track sums ║ │
│║ them up, classic. I would have said retro but ║ │
│║ these days not so good luck guys and Keep It ║ │
│║ Trueà.lolàyes I aid thatàokàwell if you don't ║ │
│║ already knowàthey just played, the masterful ║ │
│║ Keep It True Festival in Germany and did a great ║ │
│║ show. So let's have another album guys and this ║ │
│║ time and not in 35 fucking years later? I'll be ║ │
│║ fucking dead. ║ │
