Биография

Living Machines is a progressive metal outfit that tells a science-fiction epic through the band’s music, comics, and short stories about their original comic book universe: Gemini. They released their debut EP ‘I: After Onyx’ in 2018, produced by Nicolas and Amael of Novelists FR. Through cinematic soundscapes, voice acted skits, punishing instrumentals, and interwoven melodic intricacies, the band carried first-time listeners through the prequel chapter of their story, and set the stage for the accompanying comic book to be released the following year. In fall of 2019, Living Machines self-published the first issue of their comic book series ‘Gemini: After Onyx’ through their independent publishing house Splice Comics. ‘Gemini: After Onyx #1’ landed itself on many shelves across comic shops in Western Canada, and was even featured on the front page of ComicsBeat.com. The prog metal quintet kicked off the main story arc with their sophomore EP titled ‘II: Inferius’ in 2020. ‘II: Inferius’ caught the attention of Alternative Press, Metal Injection, New Noise Magazine, and helped drive the sci-fi project to the forefront of the global stage. With 'II: Inferius' being released a month before lockdowns, Living Machines quickly adapted and became a fully illustrated band akin to Dethklok and The Gorillaz, and released new music as an onging webcomic series.
