Machinegum is an Italian electronic project led by Max Durante, who started it in 2004 after leaving the band Knall. Their sound pulls from industrial and EBM, built around distorted vocals and heavy beats. Early on, they put out a series of EPs and singles that established their approach.
Their first album, 'Vision,' came out in 2008 and set the template with its pummeling rhythms and unsettling atmosphere. They followed it with records like 'Reaper' in 2011, 'Dopamine' in 2014, and 'Disorder' in 2018. Songs like 'Kubes' and 'Atomized' show their knack for tense, driving electronics.
While the lineup has shifted over time, Durante has remained the constant. They've sometimes incorporated field recordings and found sounds into their work, keeping the process loose and experimental.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
