After founding DuskMachine in late 2004, originalmembers Nikolai Wurk (guitar), Randy Black (drums), Peter Habura (bass) andHagen Hirschmann (vocals) didn't waste any time and started to write materialfor a concept album based on the writings of German 18th century writer E.T.A.Hoffmann.
Using low tunings to create a dark atmosphere whichsupported even darker storylines, they managed to combine heavy riffing withmachine-like grooves. One could describe DuskMachine's compositions as groovyThrash-Metal with a progressive attitude, but this still doesn't fullycharacterize the bands stylistic diversity. Often compared with bands like"Grip Inc." and "Nevermore", the bands first release"The Final Fall" hit the stores in late 2005 and received great reviews.But suffering from lineup changes in the most unsuitable moments, they neverreceived the chance to prove themselves to a bigger live audience.

Then, during the recordings for the next album - Russ Bergquist hadbecome the new bass player and destiny struck again when new vocalist MirkoPreach decided to concentrate more on his other projects and left. But whereothers would give up, the remaining members didn't waste time and contacted JoeComeau (ex-Overkill, ex-Annihilator), asking him to take over vocal duties.After listening to the new material, Joe immediately agreed to join and they gotan offer to play the famous "70,000 tons of Metal" cruise. This eventpresented the new and powerful line-up to a selected audience alongside bandssuch as Testament, Exodus, Fear Factory, Iced Earth, Forbidden, Amon Amarth andother great Metal acts.

In late 2012, the four machinists inked a Worldwide deal with MassacreRecords, one of the most important independent labels from the past 20 years. InJuly 2013, the guys released their second self-titled album, melding monstrousrhythms, grooves and deep harmonies alongside amazing vocal melodies and hooks.

At the moment the band is working on new material for their 3rd, yetuntitled album. More news to come...
