I'm a very simple dude. I see a new Mechina video, I slam that like button then I listen to the song. When it's Mechina, I already know I will like the song.

Same haha

@@TokiyoshiSenkouFurry Just finished the song. Absolutely brilliant as expected. I got lost in the song until it was over. It'd be so if we see Mechina perform live one day. Been following this band since Empyrean.

[@TokiyoshiSenkouFurry]

@@stateofmind19379 Oh god, a live performance would be insane.

[@mcbi1840]

@@TokiyoshiSenkouFurry YES, i would pay for that !! And yeah really love the song, the album is here soon !!

For sure this is the music the metalheads in the universe of The Expanse listen to.

[@seriousstuff8887]

Her voice and the heavy music are so good!

[@maxadams9014]

👌

[@markcurtis2931]

Agreed. The contrast is so appealing. Who is Mel Rose? She does vocals on more than just this album, correct? Is that her real name? There's virtually no information online about her (doesn't help that you get a bunch of "Melrose Place" stuff when you search). There's a DJ named Mel Rose, but I don't think that's the same person, is it? There's a professional solo artist who is a singer for hire (and a photo). She also plays acoustic guitar. It shows all the artists she covers, and most is blues/jazz based stuff. Is that her? If not, I don't even know what she looks like.

[@NympoGaming]

@@markcurtis2931 Her real name is Melissa Rosenberg and she's a singer and a music producer. Works for Sony Playstation as a studio operations coordinator and she's worked on titles such as GoW Ragnarok. She's a solo artist as well as a vocalist for Mechina and a guitarist for A Dark Halo.

@@NympoGaming Thanks for the info.. 😎

[@Sir_Loin_Of_Beef]

the rythmic section kicked my teeth in and took my lunch money. Absolutely glorious

[@MegaLucario95]

Going to be blasting this on repeat for the next week and a half in anticipation for the album.

[@WhyAreYouGhe]

Same here 🤘

[@tobiashagstrom4168]

Fuck, this is good, harder, harsher stuff, intense, dramatic! Hope we get a lot of this in the new album, last album had a lot of what I consider weaker songs, but As Virtue Meets Steel was amazing and refreshing, so it's not like I lost hope, I'm eager to hear more.

[@joshreyes3624]

So many Melrose haters, Jesus christ... this was a banger

[@adrd208]

So very excited for new Mechina!!!!!

[@nnslg]

Never heard them but clicked on this as it was in my recommended. This is what I hoped music would sound like in 25 years, 25 years ago!

[@raikohadvent]

I'm soo gonna blast this song while playing Armored Core VI when it comes out.

[@Karlos19896]

Bruh..,You created a basic need.

[@NympoGaming]

Ok, now we're talking!

[@ComradeOgilvy369]

Warhammer for me but yea dawg

[@ammazingbllack207]

Mechina never disapoints !

[@Spyroblast]

That's really fckng true

[@angryktulhu]

Except for last 2 albums 😂

[@Vassbakk]

banger as always, hope this album will bring back more of the male clean vocals from Progenitor and as embers turn to dust

[@zOceanCamel]

hearing "bring back more of the male clean vocals from Progenitor and as embers turn to dust" makes me feel old, i got into them during the empyrean and xenon days

[@isocrux]

Yeah same, nothing really tops Acheron for me, had absolutely everything on that album. Some of the tracks out of Embers and Siege are brilliant but there is far too much 10 minutes of 'WEEEEE OOOOOOOHHH WAAAAAAAAA OHHHHHH' in the rest. Does my head in.

[@johanetsondragon]

I wish the same

[@kar12894]

dont count on it lol

[@doommetaldarryl6689]

Mel's voice is simply hypnotic

[@kage87cs]

Artist should always make the sounds they like. If us listeners don't like that then we can always choose not to listen. With that said, I am always excited when a new Mechina song or album drops regardless of the direction they take. I mean, they could stop making music- I wouldn't like that so, I'll just be grateful they're still at it 🤙🏾

[@kage87cs]

I say, shut up and enjoy what they share with us. If ya aint feeling it- cool, f'@k off then.

[@IDontWantHandlesWTF]

Just found Mechina a while ago and I've been obsessed for the past few days. Good to know I'm just in time for a new album.

[@crazyfranky8627]

I've been listening to this band since 2014, and it's still one of the most gorgeous bands, not a single album has disappointed me, we've been waiting for the release of the sequel for a whole year and we're almost at the goal, I want to wish further creative success, you're fucking incredible, a lot more people should know about you!!!

[@s_t_s4846]

Sorry but I don't agree here. Been listening to some of their albums and they all sound the same. In the end I only kept CONQUEROR. Don't get me wrong, they (he?) make good music but it sounds too generic, there is no main melody most of the time.

[@crazyfranky8627]

@@s_t_s4846 I understand what you are talking about, there is almost always no common melody, there is a common theme of the album, sometimes each song is a separate story in the context of the album, therefore the sound is different.Personally, I love the music because of the atmosphere, thanks to the beautiful guitar riffs of the melodic symphony and the stunning vocals, a feeling of epic space opera is created

bruh i loved your old videos! welcome to the community!

[@somarriba333]

I'm guessing this new album will be Alithea and Amyntas getting revenge for Acheron. This better be BRUTAL with all vocal styles. I want to hear Dave and Anna's guteral vocals with Mel's clean vocals and Dave's clean vocals.

[@markcurtis2931]

Guessing I am not the only one who literally can't stop listening to this song!

I just got into Mechina this past August and have most of their albums on CD or downloaded from their Bandcamp. This is awesome!

[@ShiningSkylight]

Oh heck yeah welcome

[@user-ei6mr8ld2b]

I have been a fan of this band since Tyrannical Resurrection. I bought Cenotaph right off the album's distribution on Bandcamp, but I would have rather thrown 10 times as much money at The world we lost. I've been a big fan of Mechina until now, but now I won't be waiting for the end of the year to enjoy their music. I hate to complain about art, but it was such a shock to me in the wrong direction. I know some of you may favor Cenotaph, but I thought I liked Siege relatively well and not so much Vanator, but the new album was nothing compared to that. joe, thank you for all you have done.

[@-alienworx-]

thank you

[@brosgamer2045]

always amazing, clean voices and devastating guitars as always good job

[@ShiningSkylight]

Another Holiday, another Mechina dub, another year where my excitement overflows. BRING ON CENOTAPH!!!!

J'ai toujours adoré le mix des genres et je crois que vous poussez ce concept à son paroxysme ce qui vous rend tout à fait unique. C'est la première fois que je vous entends et ça ne sera pas la dernière. Le seul mot qui me vient en tête est .... WOW! Bravo.

lmao Mel Rose feat. the remnants of Mechina Joe I love your stuff man, but I couldnt tell the difference if a track came from one of the three last albums

At least it seems that no more midquels, straight continuation of the storyline after Xenon ended
