"A Dying Machine" est un album conceptuel du groupe Tremonti sorti au format CD chez Napalm Records. Cet opus ambitieux met en avant l?évolution de Mark Tremonti en tant que guitariste et chanteur : il mêle refrains mélodiques puissants à des riffs lourds et une narration immersive autour de thèmes comme l?humanité, la technologie et les émotions dans un univers dystopique fascinant. Fondé par le guitariste multi-récompensé aux Grammy Awards Mark Tremonti (connu pour ses groupes Creed et Alter Bridge), le groupe s?est imposé parmi les références du hard rock/metal moderne avec plusieurs albums salués internationalement pour leur virtuosité musicale et la qualité d?écriture de leurs chansons précédentes. Le label Napalm Records se distingue par son soutien constant aux artistes innovants sur la scène rock/métal ainsi que par ses productions soignées qui repoussent les frontières musicales.
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.
