What does band play with such name? Probably the same kind of music like QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE or STONE TEMPLE PILOTS … The prefix “stoned” says a lot about the music, even before the audition… STONED MACHNE choose the way of QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE and KYUSS … Although Stoner Rock / Metal most reminds me the United States but STONED MACHINE comes from Italy… What is more?… The influences of the old BLACK SABBATH with Ozzy are clearly audible here …

I love this kind of bands … The low-tuned devastating guitars, the “pulled” guitar's sounds on the strings, the psychedelic guitar's solos, the powerful bass' lines, the strong drums and of course the melancholic vocals with the occasionally predatory screams (supporting by the additional vocal's accents)… and additionally with the insertions and accents of Southern Rock and Doom Metal. And the whole are closed in a stone rhythmic trance atmosphere but with the faster serves and rhythms. STONED MACHINE looks like this – hard, monumental and melodious.

Album is diversified by nostalgic ballad in climate of Southern Rock in which musicians additionally used the piano's sounds and the dulcimer. STONED MACHINE is one of the best Stoner bands I've ever heard.
