Ghost in the Machine

Anthemic, yet intimate, Ghost in the Machine (GITM), of Columbia/California, Missouri, has been relentlessly and unflinchingly honing their musical style both in the studio and on the live stage since October of 2005. Some of GITMs more obvious musical influences include classic Deftones, From Autumn to Ashes, or old Avenged Sevenfold. GITMs lead singer mixes melodic vocals that are often compared to a young Ozzy, but with throat-shredding screams. This metal act focuses their strength on an energetic and interactive live show that exemplifies true stage presence while maintaining their sounds integrity. Whether GITM is playing for 500 plus or just playing for the other acts and their girlfriends, GITM is consistently rock and roll. The pretty and melodic moments of a GITM set only thinly disguise an aggressive wall of evil waiting to slam full force into the audience. GITM has opened for metal and rock heavyweights such as As I Lay Dying, From Autumn to Ashes, Powerman 5000, Modern Day Zero, American Head Charge, Nonpoint, Vampire Mooose, BobaFlex, Guilt by Association, Fozzy, Motograter, 5 Finger Death Punch, 360 Smile, Shaman's Harvest, and Sicadis. GITM has also had an active role in the planning and execution of benefit shows for organizations such as The Shelter, The American Cancer Society, Central Missouri Food Bank, as well as donating proceeds from shows to Hurricane Katrina relief and local Skate Parks. GITM recently released a three-song demo with a 15-minute behind-the-scenes enhanced CD extra and finished their first full-length album entitled "Equip To Cope" coming out September 10th, 2010.
