Mechina Andromeda [2016]

Originally released in 2011, Andromeda was our first single within our "As Embers Turn to Dust" continual concept story. The first song that opened our minds to the possibilities. Five years and four full length albums later, we celebrate "As Embers Turn to Dust" with a remixed and updated version of Andromeda.
This will be included in our upcoming multi album box set.

Lyrics
Exiled in orbit
Forced to reflect
On what should have been
Freedom or bloodshed
Assembled in dead stars
While my heart remains on earth
Lighted by the waning sun
Behind this blue earth
We are finally free from gods
Or men who claim to be
I shall cradle
This vast darkness
Slowly soaring
In search of solace
Cast down by those who live
To lie to themselves
Thrown aside to watch all sides
Devour themselves from the inside out
Countless years, countless lives
All wasted on this vicious lie
Falsify and amplify this human design
To enslave mankind
The time has come
To advance this flesh
Once and for all
The time has come
To remove god
From our lexicon
This veil of tears
Shall not exist
While I am alive
I am human
Stronger than any god
I shall cradle
This vast darkness
Slowly soaring
In search of solace
Cast down by those who live
To lie to themselves
Thrown aside to watch all sides
Devour themselves from the inside out
Countless years, countless lives
All wasted on this vicious lie
Falsify and amplify this human design
To enslave mankind
The time has come
To advance this flesh
Once and for all
The time has come
To remove god
From our lexicon
This veil of tears
Shall not exist
While I am alive
I am human
Stronger than any god

[@Sizz98]

I found you guys in late 2011 thanks to Critikals and honestly you guys have never let me down throughout the years. Keep doing what you guys are doing and thanks for all the great music so far

[@user-te1bu4li8q]

this band is really atmospheric. just found it, need to listen to all albums

[@josephgries4683]

And now it's 2020 and this song is still amazing.

[@dave6564]

ANDROMEDA WAS THE FIRST SONG I HEARD FROM YOU GUYS MORE THAN TWO YEARS AGO

[@NickStewartProgrammer]

Just found hope within Mechina & these lyrics.

[@MofoMan2000]

This version is great. I really liked the old Andromeda and this is just another masterpiece. I sincerely hope you guys give Conqueror and Empyrean the same treatment.

[@Best_number_is_73]

OH MY GOD!!!! I can't believe my ears and eyes! Bravo!!! I absolutely love drums in this song. THANKS, Joe!

[@ArtFenixAsordis]

Both the original and this one are amazing, each in their own way! Thank you for your music, guys!

[@MunkeyBeans1082]

This guy gets it. Andromeda is one of my favourite songs so why not have two versions?

[@swordsmen6]

I think "Andromeda" came back as a Titan.

[@BE02Raziel]

A classic remastered. Great work. Find them really inspiring.

[@Frantic656]

Awesome stuff guys! It would gnarly if you guys toured with the browning. That would be one wicked show

[@erebusterrornm5184]

Големи сте!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Андромеда е най-близката до нас галактика.Предполага се че има 1 трилион звезди!Има също така и съзвездие Андромеда.

[@patientpatriot3621]

yea!.... what this guy said!... ^

[@chickenhouse2831]

I'm so glad I found this band, what, two years ago? Dang. Time flies. You're easily my favorite band. Even your older stuff is incredible. Keep up the good work. :)

[@Blacksun-rg9mh]

You didn't even have to do this but you did it anyway. Awesome.

[@dipshitmeyer1624]

Thank you mechina

[@Th3feaR]

They just keep getting better and better. Hands down, my favorite band of all time.

[@Deathpenalty1234]

Glad to see one of my favorite songs by you guys get revamped into something even more epic than it already was.

[@FranciscoCarvalho-yk3om]

Lindo, a música dos meus sonhos, obrigado Mechina

[@saintsyn2909]

Still gives me goosebumps after 5 years Absolutely beautiful

[@faustlican5566]

Fantastic as always, Joe.

[@ShiningSkylight]

favorite

[@edelweiss2920]

Good god. I knew it was going to be on line with the same production style of Progenitor. However I didn't exactly realise just how much better it made it. This is amazing. I recommend going to listen to the original and then this one to see the difference. It's astonishing.

[@Apxzjdx]

Please Clash of Cultures 2016,2017, 2018 or so on version . . . . . . :))))))))))

[@Gorenervous]

This remix we again discover one of the best song i have heard. Thank you so much. Magnifique merci bravo d'un fan de la france,

[@Pierrearnaud1]

Je suis donc pas le seul français à écouter du mechina xD

[@Gorenervous]

Apparemment non ; -).

[@IDied200YearsAgo]

Holy crap. This is so well done. Loved the original. Love this version too.

[@dipshitmeyer1624]

Oh my goodness i now know why theyre not as big as i think they should be.. And i never thought about just how select the few that get to experience them for what they and we truly are

[@c.chambers1694]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@suma5939]

Well, I dig your style too, man. Got the whole fear factory thing goin' :)

[@xfrozenearthx]

It's excellent, of course, but maybe I've just listened to the original so much that I prefer it. The updated sound quality is definitely better, but the original felt like it had a bit more room - music to both fill and complement the nihilistic void of deep space - versus the densely saturated sound now. Compare 5:10 above to the same section in the original... Still, thank you Joe, for keeping us rabid fans sated with fresh content!

[@nickpap9950]

it reminds me fear factory..

[@andygn5155]

Yeaaah! /,,/

[@austinlovesmetal3874]

U should do a mass effect based music video that would absolutely badass

[@courage8255]

Bought all your albums on iTunes (I think) but they didn't have any of your singles :( I just discovered you guys back in January and I never looked back.

[@grand_vizier_of_chaos]

This sounds like demo record of 2011 song. Still, not bad.

[@volin_d]

I prefer the original version but this one is good too

[@a-10warthog90]

You should redo anathema in progenitor style

[@SARCASTIKKism]

Hey Joe, I don't know if you guys take requests but you made a dubstep song a while back and believe it or not I loved it. But I have not heard it since you removed it so I was wondering if you could possibly put that on Bandcamp. Oh, and I love this remake of Andromeda. It's absolutely awesome

[@Durzo1259]

You don't find Mechina-grade music from bands with $10 million budgets. I don't know how they do it but it's not just incredible, it's a generational evolutionary-jump - like if Master of Puppets were suddenly released in 1971. Does anybody know what software they use to create all things synthetic? I've wanted to know so badly for a couple years.

[@Stroodle01588]

It really is mind blowing, how on earth is this music even possible?

[@galactica101]

I'm not sure if it's still up, but I came across an interview with Joe somewhere on SoundCloud where he talks about some of the stuff he uses to make the music. I don't remember any of the resources he mentioned though

[@KinkyNothing]

2:36-3:12 so Wintersuny

[@megatyaesree]

joe tibiri, what tuning is this song? tq for making awesome music! keep it up!!! 👍

[@megatyaesree]

*tiberi

[@joetiberi]

c standard

[@megatyaesree]

+joe tiberi like C F Bb Eb Ad Db F Bb tuning?

[@ShiningSkylight]

do you plan on releasing anything else before the first of the year?

[@joetiberi]

I hope so.

[@ShiningSkylight]

+joe tiberi alright sweet, youre only improving and it's quite amazing.

[@s-progaming5213]

Joe you should open a music school where Fear Factory could go and learn how to be good again. ;)

[@returnformer3950]

burn. genexus has some good songs, tho. ff was never this epic or complex, tho...

[@s-progaming5213]

***** I'm a FF fan to :) They just used to be so much better and I still think they have the potential to be that good again.

[@simla5]

I think Genexus was killer and Mechanize is one of my all time favorites by them...

[@Mysterytour7]

got any general industrial reccies? Mechina and Neurotech are the only industrial bands I've heard and I'm thirsty for more.

[@returnformer3950]

Turmion katilot, black light discipline, blue stahli, 2 times terror, herrschaft, death stars, godflesh, zeromancer, nine inch nails. That should keep you busy for a bit.

[@dethfan5139]

SAMANTHA!! Sí lees esto corazón RECUERDA QUE TE AMOOOOO MUCHÍSIMOOO!!!

[@Thatlegalityburneracc]

What's the tuning for this ? Double drop C ?

[@djskintya]

Andromeda is a ship which departed the protagonist ?

[@eviltoad746]

Where does this go in the story? Before Empyrean?

[@GhostRecon141]

did you bust out the old ibanez for this one?

[@joetiberi]

Used my fanned fret Agile 8 string this time around.

[@indranilchakravarthy]

+joe tiberi making Mechina sound like u all have literally read my mind and made it! Brilliant inputs and outputs !

[@graucg]

more far away than fear factory

[@lukarelli11]

Andromeda, because that is where we should go if we want to find a band better than this one.

[@Aedalas]

Shouldn't that be "wanning?"

[@TheSkilfingar]

+Aedalas WTF is "wanning" ?!

[@Aedalas]

+Mathias Braun Ever see the original Andromeda video?

[@TheSkilfingar]

Aedalas no

[@Aedalas]

+Mathias Braun Check it out, watch the lyrics.

[@TheSkilfingar]

Aedalas actually I never cared for the lyrics because they're really hard to understand - I more listen to Mechina because of the atmosphere, talking interfaces and the story

[@salvatration3704]

My hairs are standing straight the fuck up. Great song made better.
