Die Mitglieder Robin Proper-Sheppard (Gesang, Gitarre), Jimmy Fernandez (Bass) und Ronald Austin (Schlagzeug, Klavier) kannten sich aus der High-School und spielten in einer Formation, die „Society Line“ hieß. In London traten sie das erste Mal als The God Machine in einem Club in Camden auf. Sie nahmen dann einige EPs auf und spielten ihr erstes Album „Scenes From The Second Storey“ ein. Nach dem Ende der Aufnahmen zu ihrem zweiten Album „One Last Laugh In A Place Of Dying...“ verstarb Jimmy Fernandez vermutlich an einem Gehirntumor und die Band löste sich daraufhin auf. Robin Proper-Sheppard gründete ein Plattenlabel und spielt heute in der Band Sophia. Ronald Austin schreibt heute Drehbücher, dreht und produziert Filme. The God Machine spielen experimentellen, melancholischen Rock mit Noiseanklängen. Ihre Lieder bestehen aus komplexen, dunklen, teilweise harten Gitarrenwänden mit abwechselnden ruhigen Passagen. (de) The God Machine was an alternative rock band, active in the first half of the 1990s. Its members were all from San Diego, California, but they all lived and performed mainly in the United Kingdom and across Europe. The band consisted of three members, Robin Proper-Sheppard (guitar/vocals), Jimmy Fernandez (bass) and Ronald Austin aka Austin Lynn Austin (drums), and they first performed officially under the name The God Machine in 1991. They released an EP, Purity with the Eve record label, and were later given a recording contract with Fiction Records. They released two albums in their career, both with their trademark dark and industrial-sounding alternative rock, before Fernandez suddenly died from brain hemorrhage. Their single release of "Home", peaked at No. 65 in the UK Singles Chart in January 1993. Proper-Sheppard went on to form The Flower Shop Recordings label, and bands Sophia and The May Queens. In 2020, after nearly 3 decades, Austin formed and launched his own music project, Mercylane. Their second album, One Last Laugh in a Place of Dying, was recognized by Alternative Press as one of the "90 greatest albums of the 90s" (#88) in their December 1998 issue. Their earlier San Diego incarnation was called Society Line, and also featured guitarist Albert Amman, who left the band before its move to London. (en) I The God Machine erano un gruppo alternative rock, attivo nella prima metà degli anni '90. Benché tutti originari di San Diego, California, i suoi membri vivevano e si esibivano prevalentemente nel Regno Unito e in Europa. La primissima formazione, a San Diego, si chiamava Society Line e comprendeva anche il chitarrista Albert Amman, che non seguì il resto del gruppo nel loro trasferimento a Londra. Robin Proper-Sheppard (chitarra/voce), Jimmy Fernandez (basso) e Ronald Austin (batteria), suonarono per la prima volta nel 1991 con il nome di The God Machine. Nello stesso anno pubblicarono un EP intitolato Purity con l'etichetta Eve e successivamente ottennero un contratto discografico con la Fiction Records, etichetta con cui pubblicarono due dischi nel corso della loro carriera, prima della morte improvvisa di Fernandez per un tumore cerebrale e del conseguente scioglimento della band nel 1994. Proper-Sheppard proseguì formando l'etichetta Flower Shop Recordings e i gruppi Sophia e The May Queens (it) |
