Described as “one of the best live bands of the current scene” (Jerry Ewing - Prog issue 152), Ghost Of The Machine was formed when five former members of This Winter Machine joined forces with vocalist Charlie Bramald (Age Of Distraction, Nine Skies). Blending memorable, melodic hooks with long-form songwriting and a fresh and bombastic sound, the band's influences range from Marillion and Genesis to Rush, Dream Theater and even new-wave stalwarts such as Gary Numan and Ultravox. Their award winning debut album 'Scissorgames' released in 2022, and the follow up 'Empires Must Fall' releases through ProgRock.com's Essentials label on 7th March 2025. Ghost Of The Machine's stage shows are renowned for infusing songs from the records with a huge and highly theatrical performance.
