REVIEWS
ROCKSOUND
Paths EP [7] “…monolithic slabs of riffage that segue into more mellow textures…there’s definite potential here”
Live A Dublin Castle [8]
“ Mountains Became Machines’ blend of architected melancholy leaves other Post-Rock wannabes insubstantial by comparison………..the band commands the attention of the crowd who look back at them, starry-eyed during moments of gently musical decline.”
Damnation Festival [8]
“Mountains Became Machines make a rapid impression…..iron heavy riffs blend seamlessly with quieter moments of melodic introspection and atmospheric calm….a projector displays images of juxtaposed beauty and destruction…there’s no need to clamp Rock Sound’s eyes open, we’re happy to be brainwashed by this.”
EMPTY PLAYGROUND MAGAZINE
“Mountains Became Machines drag your attention back into the realm of excitement…31 minutes of music with never a dull moment..”
THE SILLENT BALLET
“Mountains Became Machines have created a truly cinematic offering. The guitar lines, whether Mastodon-like riffs or Explosions In The Sky-like flutters, are always moving the tracks forward, rarely leaving a dull moment. Something surprising to see from such a young band......the word epic comes to mind very often while listening…Paths is a solid EP”
NINEHERTZ
“what's needed is something a bit special, to help you stand out from a mob of meerkats, and Mountains Became Machines certainly have that……The clever use of dynamics avoid the comfort found in repetition, and the music comes across as one long piece, a journey…..one to keep an eye on”

Lyrics

When did this lunacy begin?This accepted lunacy,Ambitions are in my hands.But my hands are heavy.The effort is unbearable I'm satisfied.And my ambitions can wait untill tomorrow.
