Mechina, a Chicago-based industrial metal band founded in 2011, merges the weight of death metal with the vast soundscapes of symphonic composition and the industrial edge of machine-like precision. The core members of the project, Joe Tiberi and David Gavin, have consistently pushed the boundaries of their genre, creating a signature sound that is both cinematic and brutally heavy. Mechina's ambitious discography paints a science fiction universe loaded with conceptual depth, each album unfurling more of the overarching narrative they have meticulously crafted.
Their albums, including "Empyrean" (2013), "Xenon" (2014), "Acheron" (2015), and "Progenitor" (2016), up to their most recent releases such as "As Embers Turn to Dust" (2017), "Telesterion" (2019), and "Siege" (2021), exhibit a band evolving in their storytelling and musical expertise. They operate like a self-contained creative collective, with Tiberi contributing not only guitar work but also the programming and orchestration that lend Mechina's music its grandeur and scope, while Gavin's vocals bring the necessary intensity to their conceptual odyssey about the struggles of technological and human evolution. The evocative titles of their albums, like "Venator" and "Cenotaph", hint at the epic tales contained within, as Mechina continues to define their unique niche within the metal genre, earning a dedicated following among fans who appreciate their blend of intellectual rigor and unapologetic metal ferocity.
