This guy gets it. https://youtube/watch?v=K7UrxMYXnP4 For Machinae Supremacy, their discography and cult following of metal and gamer fans has proven that they can create miracles through music and storytelling.” “The music itself feels like an enormous landscape of sound.” “Music can progress and transcend. I feel that this is what Machinae Supremacy must have attempted to do with Phantom Shadow. It in no way derails from their past, but rather goes through a deeper level of what a soundtrack and story can be within metal.” “When you really listen to the songs you can get a feel of action and atmosphere of an intense world.” “The build-up and intro of [Versus] with the guitar and keys creates such a strong imagery that just by hearing the notes it is difficult not to get sucked into the moment. And without a word spoken within the first minute, you get swept from tranquility and calm to an onslaught of speed and energy. The song Versus is proof of the concept that dialogue and storytelling can be told wonderfully in a fast-paced song.” “There are so many bands that have had the standard formula of vocals, guitar, bass and drums, all playing at full throttle, and for good reason. It works for them. There are few bands, though, that are capable of accomplishing what Machinae Supremacy have done with Phantom Shadow—creating intense storytelling and thematics in what feels like a world of atmosphere.” “Describing the sound of Machinae Supremacy to someone who isn’t familiar with their genre or their base of video game culture would be like describing what salt tastes like if they have never tasted salt before. Once you hear it, though, you can define it forever and you never forget it.” “There is a strong connection and running thematic behind this album that not only has its own identity, but is also the brilliant child of some very creative Swedes.
