About Me


F o r c e . i s . M a c h i n e
We see it before us, we need only to reach for it.
As quoted from Re.Gen Magazine.
"Morose synthesized orchestrations carefully utilized underneath heavy bass beats".
In the summer of 2003 the schematics and construct of a dissimilar noise was portrayed by Voytek den Ouden in rough 4 track samples and arrangements. As time progressed the sound evolved into a darker substance and harsher material, varying from war ideologies, societies faults and man vs. machines concept. Soon after Force.Is.Machine was built.
A few years later Force.Is.Machine finally found and created their own sound after recording a decent amount of material. They caught the eyes of a production company from Ft. Lauderdale, Axis Chemicals. Force.Is.Machine started speaking with them and Axis eventually booked FIM to play their first show at the "Wasteland of Opportunity".
A few shows later , Force.Is.Machine was in the studio and started recording the Skumbag! EP. Taking old songs and re-mastering them along with new originals. The Skumbag! EP was released in the summer of 2006 and was followed by a mini-tour, accordingly named "Aural Assault Tour 2k6" with Panzer Division and Axis Chemicals. The tour consisted of exclusive dates around Florida.
Force.Is.Machine is currently active and is working on the upcoming full length album in Orlando, Florida.
