ONE MACHINE, the brainchild of acclaimed guitarist/songwriter Steve Smyth (Testament, Nevermore, Forbidden, Dragonlord, Vicious Rumors), recently announced the impending release of their second full-length album, The Final Cull, out on September 18th worldwide via Scarlet Records.
Today, the band has launched part one of a three part “Making of The Final Cull” crowdfunding video series.
This series includes snippets of new music, in addition to discussing new The Final Cull songwriting, recording and subjects in connection with ONE MACHINE’s IndieGoGo crowdfunding campaign and pre-order to help offset the costs incurred during the recording. The campaign also serves as the official album pre-order, which will be available in Digital Download, CD, Digipak, and special edition vinyl formats. In addition, the campaign itself offers many great donation perks. For more information, please visit :https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/one-machine-album-2-production-promo-tour#/story
Guitarist and ONE MACHINE mastermind Steve Smyth states,
“In this first video, you’ll learn about our plan for using the money received, as well as the reasons behind why we chose to record live in the studio, as opposed to what has been the standard way for so long. Please head on over to our campaign and check it out, you’ll hear a bit of the new stuff as well!”
