Mantra Machine

--- REVIEWS: - Lords of Metal This is absolute quality that will fill any psychonaut with joy. ‘Nitrogen’ is a heavenly, instrumental trip through the universe, both the physical and the mental one. (www.lordsofmetal.nl/en/reviews/view/id/30614) - I'm filling the blanks... (Live review vinyl release party) "...Their psychedelic instrumental space jams transcend the earthly planes and leave you begging for more. The bass lines especially are rad beyond the extreme. Go see them when they are around." (obi-wan-noyster.blogspot.nl/2015/03/live-review-yama-mantra-machine-fur.html) - Obey The Riff "...Mantra Machine walks proudly in the instrumental footsteps of Kyuss and The Desert Sessions while bringing ode to the Dutch stoner/ psych masters like 35007, Hypnos 69, Gomer Pyle and 7Zuma7. With a distinct interstellar touch leaning into prog and space rock territory, these guys combine the best of both worlds to create a bass-heavy fuzzed out instrumental trip that's remarkably addictive. Get hooked and hypnotized!" (www.facebook.com/obeytheriff) - The Sludgelord "...A repetitive riff opens up 'Ultrabase' before going stoner of the faster kind. Suddenly the tempo drops hitting hypnotic levels and by the time you are in trance, the band kicks into gear melting your face while tearing it up." (thesludgelord.blogspot.nl/2015/01/mantra-machine-nitrogen-album-review.html?m=1) - More Fuzz! "...Playing in the same field as My Sleeping Karma or Monkey3, this is a stunning Heavy Psychedelic album!" (morefuzz.net/daily-reviews/mantra-machine-nitrogen) - Progpraat.com (Dutch) " ...Het is al met al een heerlijke energieke sound met een ‘bite’ waar je je als debuterende band niet voor hoeft te schamen. Ik ben om."

In 2012 they debuted at the Sonic Rock Solstice festival in England and released their first EP 'Stage One'. Among other gigs they were invited to play at Mudfest III (2013). In December 2014 they recorded and released a first full-length album called 'Nitrogen'. Short after the release the album was placed on the Dutch music site 3VOOR12 Luisterpaal and also was released on vinyl. In 2016 they where invited to play at Roadburn in Tilburg and also Yellowstock in Belgium and shared the stage with a great line-up of other bands.
