Both rock and metal have never inspired enthusiasm from the church. No wonder, since musicians in heavy genres have always stood against religious upbringing. SAVIOUR MACHINE are among the few who set out to break the stereotype that if band members support Christian ideas, they can't possibly play metal. This remarkable gothic/doom metal outfit was formed in the USA over 10 years ago. And in 1993, they recorded their debut album — and what a debut it was!
At that time, the band's lineup was as follows: the Clayton brothers took guitar (Jeff) and the spot at the microphone stand (Eric), bassist Dean Formaite and drummer Samuel West completed the lineup. The melancholic and emotional music gently caresses the ear throughout the entire running time of the record. What's impossible to imagine SAVIOUR MACHINE's compositions without is Eric Clayton's voice. Hear it once and you'll never forget it! But credit is due to the rest of the Californian quartet as well, along with the guest musicians who brought keyboards and orchestrations into the sound, lending greater melodiousness and majesty to the compositions. Small infusions of Oriental motifs won't let you forget where Christianity originated.
One of the finest debuts, without a doubt!
