Album Notes

Tribal Machine has just released their 12-song album "Soldiers in a War of the Mind". Backed by a loyal online following and a strong live show, the band is ready to take the scene by storm.

Tribal Machine, led by front man Sever Bronny, has been making music since 1997. Guitarist Brian "Meta" Hartlen joined the band in 2003, followed by bassist Brad Wutke in 2004 and drummer Kenn Pretty in 2006. In September of 2005 Tribal Machine launched their extremely successful myspace site, which has received over 40 000 plays in less than seven months.

“Soldiers in a War of the Mind” explores the dichotomy between life and the way it’s represented in the mass media. As Sever puts it; “The title for this album was taken from a song I wrote some years ago. I wanted to reflect themes that I saw on the news and read in books. I’ve noticed that the things we were fed did not necessarily reflect what was really going on, what the people really needed to know, and that pissed me off. I wanted to write about it, expand on it, explore it; but I also wanted to explore things about human nature, things like relationships, drugs, manipulation, and the discovery of something greater.”

With influences like Nine Inch Nails, Pink Floyd, The Doors, and Dead Can Dance, Tribal Machine takes its sound from the framework of a traditional industrial band and infuses it with elements of classic rock, European folk, and a dash of Middle-Eastern chant. From the opening salvo of “When the Walls Start to Slide” through the dark romance of “Pheromone” to the meditative end of “A Moment”, “Soldiers in a War of the Mind” is unique and uncompromising in its approach to industrial-rock.
