Ape Machine's Mangled by the Machine set for May 14th Release on Ripple Music
Ripple Music has set May 14th as the date on which APE MACHINE's Mangled by the Machine will be made available to the masses (one day earlier in the UK).
A conceptual album that mixes animal aggression and technical precision, APE MACHINE's Mangled by the Machine
carries an organic depth and warmth rarely heard since the time of
rock's glorious early years, and infused with an exceptional modern
sensibility. When the pissed-off, protest-minded lyrics lock in with the
band's stone-cold groove, APE MACHINE demonstrates an earth-shaking
ability to rock. A true four-piece, the group has been called real
heavy-psych for the iPhone generation that delivers true guts and glory
rock and roll. Mangled by the Machine will be available as CD,
digital, and vinyl releases. For Fans of: Quicksand, Led Zeppelin, The
Sword, Black Sabbath, Soundgarden, Jethro Tull, and The Rival Sons.
Mangled by the Machine can be pre-ordered at
this location.

"I
never thought I'd find a stoner-rock group that will appeal to fans of
The Sword and Whitesnake, but here it is. No seeds or stems, either." -Tucson Weekly
"Blending
equal parts rock 'n' roll, blues, stoner rock and psychedelia, Ape
Machine is a band whose heart is steeped in the rich musical history of
the late '60s and '70s. That doesn't mean they're some kind of hippie
dippy throwback band. Ape Machine delivers their material with heavy
metal muscle..."- Noisecreep.com
A
true four-piece, Portland, Oregon's APE MACHINE has been called "a rock
and roll band with a finger on the pulse of the 70's and their asses
firmly in the present" and "real heavy-psych for the iPhone generation"
that delivers "true guts and glory rock and roll." Combining
psychedelic, classic and progressive rock with arena-worthy metal,
bluesy stoner-rock and catchy riffs in odd signatures, APE MACHINE's
music carries an organic depth and warmth rarely heard since the time of
rock's glorious early years (or your Dad's bad ass record collection)
infused with an exceptional modern sensibility. Having finished up a
short
Southwestern and West Coast U.S. jaunt with Austrian retro-rock
sensation, Been Obscene, APE MACHINE is preparing to take their laser
precision, yet frenzied live show to Europe in late May (including dates
with the much vaunted Orange Goblin) in support of their brand new
album, Mangled By The Machine.
Mangled By The Machine
is scheduled for world-wide release on May 14th, 2013 through Ripple
Music. The album was recorded and mixed by Tony Lash at Supernatural
Sound in Oregon City, Oregon, and in typical, unique APE MACHINE
fashion, the album was recorded as one long continuous track in one
take. Broken into ten individual chapters, Mangled By The Machine
is an angry conceptual piece of music that takes a cue from the masters
of the 70's progressive masters, yet reflects the immediacy of the
chaotic world all around us.
