"I was a Marine stationed at Camp Lejeune, NC and seen this band numerous times before their "big record contract". The lead singer had a whole different band backing him up and may I say better musicianship. I don't know what reason forced the whole band to part but Ryan Taylor (vox) threw together a second round if you will. I'm not saying don't buy THIS album because it was recorded under the old band. So knock yourself out and enjoy what the once proud Slavemachine used to be. Just be cautious of buying follow up albums if they get that far."

Not a bad piece of work

"This North Carolina agro-metal outfit has already garnished the attention of fans in their local club circuit and they recently got the attention of Adam Grayer, who is responsible for the Jager-Music program. After gaining exspore by sharing the stage with the likes of ANTHRAX, LACUNA COIL and MOTORGRADER, SLAVEMACHINE are set to unleash their fury on the world with their major label debut, "Disfigured Consciousness." This release is like a combination of THE DISTURBED, BIG CATHOLIC GUILT and SLAVES ON DOPE. The rock backdrop provides the chunky beats and the guitars follow suit with accurate synchronizations. The vocals have a seedy, sultry vibe in between anthemic screams and choruses. Their hefty sound works well with the downtrodden baselines but doesn't sound mushy or too cramped. It is, in essence, hard rock with a darkened edge that throbs like a heartbeat, making any person who listens to it succumb to the potential catchiness. Sort of like DISTURBED but without those unwanted, annoying, monkey-like screams. This band certainly has something going for them and the sweet smell of success is just around the corner for them.
