Resurfacing from both global and deeply personal unrest THE MACHINIST have returned and are set to leave their own indelible mark on 2022 with their idiosyncratic blend of extreme metal and hardcore on their new album, All Is Not Well, set for release via Prosthetic Records on July 8.

Resuming recording as the world tentatively took to recovery, THE MACHINIST teamed up with Daniel “DL” Laskiewicz (Bad Wolves, ex-The Acacia Strain) to produce, mix and master their sophomore effort, with help from Ice Nine Kills’ Ricky Armellino for vocal tracking. The time spent in isolation and witnessing the horrors of police brutality (explored on lead single, PIG), inflammatory politics and minority communities coming to terms with loss sits restlessly within the marrow of All Is Not Well’s lyrical themes. Sonically, Gomez’s penchant for converging both death metal brutality and intricate melodic metal and hardcore serves as a counterpart to All Is Not Well’s excoriating kickback at a world in crisis.

Standing tall in 2022, THE MACHINIST discards solipsistic tunnel vision for a wider scope of the personal and political. All Is Not Well refuses to resign in the face of the current climate's ongoing political and personal divisions, opting instead to shine a light and give a platform for the chance of hope.

THE MACHINIST is:
Amanda Gjelaj - vocals
Josh Gomez - guitar
Steve Ciorciari - drums

LYRICS:
I am now god
Once a sheep and now a wolf
Third eye can see
trauma, stress, anxiety
We Hide and Seek
no more in the shadows
The fright is real
welcome to the gallows
I am now god
Once a sheep and now a wolf
Third eye can see
trauma, stress, anxiety
The genocide
Beginning right before your eyes
You are the lie
The truth is the cyanide
Anguish gave your life a meaning
You’re losing too much time
Fearing, the unknown, the uncertainty
It’s all too much to bear
Surrender to all your luxuries
Cause we’ve all been betrayed
I am now god
Once a sheep and now a wolf
Third eye can see
trauma stress anxiety
We Hide and Seek
no more in the shadows
the fright is real
welcome to the gallows
I am now god
Bow to me you asshole
You pray to me
Perish with your piety
Breathe in the plague
Find salvation
The destruction of entire nations
Can you feel the planet mourning?
The horror of this life is
Feeling, the unknown, the uncertainty
It’s all too much to bear.
Surrender to all your luxuries
To cover your despair
They lie to keep you at bay
I will expose their face
I will erase their name
this purgatory must be escaped
must be escaped
must be escaped
As Above So Below
fear me now I am awake
fear me now I am awake
I am awake
Fearing, the unknown, the uncertainty
It’s all too much to bear
(The world must end)
Surrender to all your luxuries
Cause we’ve all been betrayed
(The world must end)
Fearing, the unknown, the uncertainty
It’s all too much to bear
(The world must end)
Surrender to all your luxuries
To cover your despair
The world must end
For everyone to get what they deserve
The world will end
And everyone will get what they deserve
