Machinica is an industrial-tinged metal project that fuses cinematic atmosphere with relentless precision. Featuring Taylor Jolin on guitars and songwriting duties, and Craig Hathaway on drums, the project thrives on heavy grooves, mechanical intensity, and evolving layers of sound. Many of the riffs and motifs are drawn from the duo’s favorite films and video games, blending storytelling with aggression, the kind of music that feels like a movie score colliding with a machine uprising. Every track is built with intention, balancing melody and chaos while pushing the boundaries of what modern heavy music can sound like.

At its core, Machinica is a study in contrast: human emotion versus mechanical force. The use of machine samples, industrial percussion, and electronic textures gives each song a living, breathing pulse, a sound that feels both synthetic and organic. From haunting ambient passages to explosive rhythmic shifts, the music channels cinematic tension through metal’s raw energy. It’s not just a collection of riffs, but a sonic world shaped by technology, storytelling, and the relentless drive to create something uniquely alive.
