"A Dying Machine" es un álbum conceptual de Tremonti lanzado en formato CD por el sello Napalm Records. Este disco ambicioso muestra la evolución artística de Mark Tremonti como guitarrista y vocalista; combina melodías pegadizas con potentes riffs y una narrativa compleja sobre temas como humanidad, tecnología y emociones dentro de una historia distópica envolvente. La banda fue fundada por el guitarrista ganador del premio Grammy Mark Tremonti (reconocido por su trabajo con Creed y Alter Bridge), consolidándose como uno de los referentes actuales del hard rock y metal moderno gracias al éxito internacional y elogios recibidos por sus anteriores trabajos discográficos tanto en composición como ejecución musical. El fabricante Napalm Records es conocido mundialmente por apoyar artistas innovadores dentro del espectro del rock y el metal ofreciendo siempre ediciones cuidadas que desafían los límites tradicionales del género.
In my opinion, A Dying Machine is the best album to date from Tremonti - a very well made/written and often quite chilling piece of work very much in the style of a concept album. High points of the album would be around the middle and end of the piece, in particular the tracks 'A Dying Machine', 'Trust', 'Make it Hurt', 'The First the Last', 'As the Silence Becomes Me' and the final two tracks ('Desolation' and 'Found'). I wouldn't say there are any particularly low points, merely less excellent.
Overall very impressed with this album (first one I had listened to from Tremonti) and definitely looking forward to any further releases from this artist.
