About

Screeching guitars, pounding drums, bombastic synthesizers, strange but captivating vocals. All these elements unite and culminate in the music of Sentient Machine.

Sentient Machine’s songs are built with driving rhythms and strong hooks wrapped in a wash of noise and exotic samples. A screamingly loud chorus can shrink down to little more than a whisper in a matter of seconds.

It's music that's meant to be just as gut wrenching and visceral as it is eccentric and chaotic. Like a seven-year old schizophrenic it wavers between invitingly playful and a surrealistic nightmare.

Recording Posted by Adam on Aug/02/10

If you've seen us live, you know we have about a half-dozen tracks that haven't been recorded yet.

Luckily, we're trying to change that!

We'll hopefully have at least two new tracks to put up before December, and with some luck we'll have a complete new album for the summer of 2011.

Album Review from Jerseybeat.com Posted by Adam on Dec/30/09

Here's what the nice folks at Jersey Beat had to say about our album.

"It’s always a pleasure to hear a tight, tuneful, and dynamic EP CD of fierce’n’aggressive no-bullshit rock’n’roll that gets right down to thrilling brass tacks in a stirring and streamlined manner. The vocals roar over a raucous onslaught of grinding hacksaw guitar riffs, seething basslines, relentless pounding drums, and rippin’ zoned-to-the-bone synthesizers. The rapid-fire tempos and driving beats combine together to create a wildly swirling sound that goes right for the jugular and shakes you upside your head with gloriously savage abandon. This is the kind of gritty and visceral pure hard rock that pulls no punches and takes no prisoners in its unapologetically in-your-face sneering attitude. In other words, it’s the complete bitchin’ balls, man."
