Hallowed Engine began in the summer of 2007. Grant Masson and Laurie Es had previously been playing together in Dirty Red. With a handful of new songs & a batch of covers, they teamed up with drummer Tom Oz. What started out as a side project quickly blossomed into a real band with an undeniable potential for "awesome". Their live shows are a unique amalgamation of thick riffs coupled with nonstop energy. Their heavy groove-laden songs keep the Engine rolling and keep their audience coming back for sloppy seconds.
