MECHINA is Majestic! Is the Expression of the Freedom of the Human Soul! Is the Music & the Message for the Generation that will Conquer the Space and It's Boundaries! Thank you my Brothers for this Awesome Experience! I can Understand YOU, Ingest & Integrate YOU! We are ONE!
What is brilliant in Mechina composition is the balance of chord progressions with grooves. A lot of groovy songs are just intense rhythms but these guys actually go up and down a scale like how I've studied in music theory.
There's plenty of symphonic metal bands but the ones I know of just have their rhythms in straight sixteenths or triplets. The way Mechina takes an intense rhythm and make it more in depth with the keyboards I just don't find that a lot.
This is one of those bands that I wish I could've known for a long time. I can't believe I am just now coming across this! I've had it on repeat for hours. Amazing album.
***** you lucky guy ! I don't how I've lived without knowing this band ! they do exactly what Ive been searching for years in Music : mixing two of my favourite kinds of music in a insanely beautiful way : trailer music and metal ! :)
Utterly fucking astounding. Some of the most original shit I've yet to hear come from the US in terms of dynamics in sound, themes, and overall composition. This goes beyond mere music into the realm of art.
This is freaking incredible. I can't get over the fact that these guys are from Illinois. This is some European epicness that you don't normally see/hear from bands in the states. These guys know what's up.
I have searched and searched but there is noone out there who nails human concsiousness in every aspect of itself as absolutely perfectly as my friends here. fucking awesome.. I cant get anyone else to appreciate in silence the way i do..man though i still keep hoping for a soul like mine to bounce shit off of.
I have printed out all the lyrics for this album and let me tell it has opened my sewn shut eyes to alot of things that weren't perceptive to me before
i was a true blood metalhead til i was 18 but then i started to explore music from other genres and havent stopped since. worth every second! Mechinas still #1 :)
I don't understand. This band is incredible. I mean really. This guys are very good, like Fear Factory good. These dudes, man. Maybe it's because I am only really a UA-cam metalhead nowadays and they are getting more play somewhere else?? I don't know. But seriously, listen to this then listen to someone else. You will end up back here.
It does sound like the guitar lines are a little low in the mix. The mix is rather high on the cymbals, vocals, and synths. Whenever the guitars can be heard, they're belting out some impressively catchy riffs.
Metal Archives can tell ya that. www.metal-archives.com/bands/Mechina/57637 be cool if they were from Colorado though, 'cause that's where I'm from, and live.
death metal. i cannot take it seriously. i would really enjoy this if it werent for the fact that its death metal. the growling and beastly yelling just makes me laugh my ass off.
It's just a sci-fi story, and religion was a factor in it since the story began in Conqueror. Basically, the two largest factions of humans are at odds with each other over their different religious systems and the main character realizes that everything would be better off and more peaceful with a neutral outlook. This doesn't mean the band is inherently atheist, but that theme rings very true in real life as well. Listen to music because you enjoy it, don't let personal beliefs get in the way of every insignificant thing in life, otherwise you're going to be at odds with everything. Coincidentally, your problem happens to be one of the main issues for the protagonist in Mechina's story.
DeeM10123 every album since assembly of tyrants involved religion, but more in the sense of id guess an athiest point of view of what mankind is capable of its not blinded and torn apart by religion (which this world most obviously is)
I really want to like this but the production sucks, it really takes away and makes it kind of unlistenable. If they remixed it, they would sound fucking awesome
Sadly, I have to agree. They have potential to be amazing, but there are too many things wrong with their music. For example, the tempo is all over the place. And some instruments are either too loud, or too quiet than you would expect them to be. Overall, their music just sounds like crappier Two Steps From Hell songs.
日本ラブ It's not really complaining. The original release had legitimate problems that the band themselves recognized and fixed. Also, this particular upload is from a really bad, low bit-rate rip. The remaster of this album is awesome.
日本ラブ So you are telling me you have to be able to play a song to hate something? So to not like a TV show I have to know how to animate an entire 30 minute length show? Seriously? Why the fuck does everyone use this retarded excuse to someone not liking an album
Anathema.... wow.
Thank you, Cr1tikal.
Same, found this because of his Olympics video xD
Tim Davis both are masterpieces
ReturnofTheFreetrail Agreed! :D
That guy has some fucking good taste in music
ive watched almost all of his videos and I found the olympics vid today and had to find that track.
That 11 dislikes prove that no matter how magnificent epic and glorious music you make, it's impossible to please everyone.

The way Mechina takes an intense rhythm and make it more in depth with the keyboards I just don't find that a lot.
Also it's just a lot of different sounds they're working with to still make it sound good takes a lot of knowhow.
This is one of those bands that I wish I could've known for a long time. I can't believe I am just now coming across this! I've had it on repeat for hours. Amazing album.
I discovered this band one hour ago and I think that Im going to listen to them for a looooong time.
My favorite band since 2011.:)
***** you lucky guy ! I don't how I've lived without knowing this band ! they do exactly what Ive been searching for years in Music : mixing two of my favourite kinds of music in a insanely beautiful way : trailer music and metal ! :)
Go subscribe to their FB page). They're updating stuff quite often :).
I just found them a day ago. I immediately bough all their albums. \m/
welcome to our club. this is the only band I still listen and I still don't tired from them at all :D
Utterly fucking astounding. Some of the most original shit I've yet to hear come from the US in terms of dynamics in sound, themes, and overall composition. This goes beyond mere music into the realm of art.
And that's what Fear Factory did to the world kids! Amazing album.
Why are people complaining about the death metal vocals? I personally find them absolutely amazing!
If this band puts you on the edge of your seat, then you are on the edge of glory.
I am laying on my bed, so that means I am ON glory. Need I say more?
This is freaking incredible. I can't get over the fact that these guys are from Illinois. This is some European epicness that you don't normally see/hear from bands in the states. These guys know what's up.
Anathema...is fucking eargasmic...
this is a masterpiece. I cant stop listening to this album. the track at 13:54 is one of my favorites...
Whoa...
I could've sworn I had my pants on a second ago...
+Robert Saunders dude ..
+TheBANANAMAL This band gave me such an erection that it hit me in the forehead. I think I have a concussion.
This is what I'd imagine would happen if Death Metal, EDM, and Symphonic Metal took a vacation in Ravi Shankar's house.
Anathema is just fucking beautiful. So glad Cr1tikal made me find more of this band's songs!
I have searched and searched but there is noone out there who nails human concsiousness in every aspect of itself as absolutely perfectly as my friends here. fucking awesome.. I cant get anyone else to appreciate in silence the way i do..man though i still keep hoping for a soul like mine to bounce shit off of.
Amazingly good. Incredibly underrated.
I havn't listened to anything but this band for the past two weeks now. It's so good. Like I don't even like death metal, but this shits incredible.
This melody is so damn powerful!
Very deep,meaningful and spiritual lyrical content. Makes me homesick
im just happy that i dont have to decide whether Empyrean or Xenon is the best album ive ever heard.
I have printed out all the lyrics for this album and let me tell it has opened my sewn shut eyes to alot of things that weren't perceptive to me before
This is the greatest Olympic face training music of All Time
I don't listen to death metal I listen to trap hip hop but damn this shits hard !!! Thumbs up
i was a true blood metalhead til i was 18 but then i started to explore music from other genres and havent stopped since. worth every second! Mechinas still #1 :)
These guys must of LOVED devin townsend.
Fetid
The song at 4:53 is my favorite
It's rather ironic that people are saying they don't like death metal but like this. This isn't death metal by any means.
It has the stereotypical death metal voice though, I think that's what people mainly mean by it.
Exactly, this is great but no where near what we know as "death metal" lol.
I must have this album.
Masterpiece
You can hear the Fear factory influence but it went to a higher lvl
i like the chorus of "oranges! oranges!" in anathema, really adds to the song over the original...
Absolutely gorgeous! And heavy, too! Talk about an iron fist in a velvet glove...
Thank you metalstorm for putting this in your top!
glad to see mostly good comments on this band,they really are afuckinmazing
I wonder how many people know this band because of Cr1tikal
+gogolplex74 What is Cr1tikal?
Alot.
gogolplex74 A hell of a lot.
I look at the sky with my surprised puppy dog face, then look down and see Charlie's face trainer video.
I'm not LOL
gogolplex74 I'm one of them XD
One of the best albums in 2013.
one of the best bands of our time, indeed
this album is so good i had to go and buy all their albums on itunes
What an epic demolition band, new FF!!!
It would be a lot more compelling if the guitars weren't so buried. On it's own it has potential, though.
Masterpiece.
Fucking masterpiece.
Im not much for clean vocals but these guys do them very well. Gives me chills.
Pants are overrated anyways.
I know right??
This shit is mind blowingly epic! So awesome to just kick back and take it all in.
Praise Him! Our lord and Saviour!
FANTASTIC
This and Planetside 2
=
YIIIISSSSSSSS
Amazing band, and another one was Xerath, yes was, because they disbanded few days ago, epic music.
Anathema is indeed a FUCKING insane track.
this is good stuff
My favorite song is Anathema.
What's yours?
+Realset Danger I would have to agree and say Anathema too, the chorus is just so amazing.
+Realset Danger My favorite song is Empyrean.
I absolutely agree with you!!!
Anathema is a work of pure art, I also really like Interregnum
Infineon
I don't understand. This band is incredible. I mean really. This guys are very good, like Fear Factory good. These dudes, man. Maybe it's because I am only really a UA-cam metalhead nowadays and they are getting more play somewhere else?? I don't know. But seriously, listen to this then listen to someone else. You will end up back here.
Really Awesome work.
Cr1TiKaL sent me here. Praise the gods!!
Masterpiece.
niiiiiiiice what ive been lookin 4 4eva
It does sound like the guitar lines are a little low in the mix. The mix is rather high on the cymbals, vocals, and synths. Whenever the guitars can be heard, they're belting out some impressively catchy riffs.
21:50 Greek lyrics? o.O
Yeah, I am learning modern greek and I understood a few words. Also, a few songs have greek names. For example Eleptheria means freedom (ελευθερία)
Shhhhh...you guys hear that?...it sounds like...epicness...
PRAISE!
Great band and great record, but the guitars aren't loud enought.
Empyrean!!!!!!!!
beautiful.
This and Conqueror are their best albums.
Why don't you guys increase the guitar volume?
Just great!
Amazing fucking band! Thanks for the upload.
Amen.
This band is fucking awesome
Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, and Katy Perry disliked this video because they can't make good music like this
Brilliant I'll tell everyone bought dis band
Thank you very much
Its so badass Cr1tiKaL likes metal
Cr1TiKaL!!!
The song "Terminus" is dedicated to Isaak Asimov's "Foundation" trilogy, isn't it?
Just discovered a GREAT band wow ha if you read this and you know any more bands like this please message me! Thank you!
I'm not a big fan of growling either, I just kind of listen around it, if that makes sense.
Believe it or not these guys are from the states. I wanna say Colorado although im not sure.
Metal Archives can tell ya that.
www.metal-archives.com/bands/Mechina/57637
be cool if they were from Colorado though, 'cause that's where I'm from, and live.
They're from Chicago, Illanois
Cr1tikal
What is a C1-Tickal?
Literally sounds like it came from a melodeath band 20 years from now lol
who knows what country this band is from?
USA
America.....Fuck yeah XD
death metal. i cannot take it seriously. i would really enjoy this if it werent for the fact that its death metal. the growling and beastly yelling just makes me laugh my ass off.
Uhm, fear factory nr 239.
25:04
Is there a concept behind this album or not?I am asking because the titles of the songs are Greek words
shadowyashatoura
it's part of a saga. check out the mechina wiki for the storyline
sirenity33 Ok,thanks for the info!!!
:D
I'd love this band a hell of a lot better if there more recent work didn't bring Religion into the equation
It's just a sci-fi story, and religion was a factor in it since the story began in Conqueror. Basically, the two largest factions of humans are at odds with each other over their different religious systems and the main character realizes that everything would be better off and more peaceful with a neutral outlook.

YoursTruly_GTG Ugh. such a damn idiot.
+YoursTruly_GTG LOL they've been harping on about the evils of religion from the first album. Deal with it.
Lol its based on machines worshipped as gods not actual religion of our time
How do you pronounce mechina?
Mech (Mek) ina (in a)
just like it is written. mek-in-uh
Ugh! Can someone just come here for the music instead of a guy named cr1tikal?...guess not! Lol
Probably because this isn't thrash metal :)
I really want to like this but the production sucks, it really takes away and makes it kind of unlistenable. If they remixed it, they would sound fucking awesome
Sadly, I have to agree. They have potential to be amazing, but there are too many things wrong with their music. For example, the tempo is all over the place. And some instruments are either too loud, or too quiet than you would expect them to be. Overall, their music just sounds like crappier Two Steps From Hell songs.

I love this band. I just don't think they need that wailing chick.
Generic vocals
