Finland's GHOST MACHINERY has issued the following update:
"Ghost Machinery tributes two great Finnish traditional heavy metal bands that have been paving the way to modern day melodic metal. From the northern part of Finland comes ZERO NINE, with 25 years of hard rocking and 10 albums under their belt. In southern Finland, IRON CROSS was founded in 1976 and the band recorded 3 stunning albums that haven't had the publicity they should've had.The super-catchy Zero Nine song called 'Never Stop Running' can be found on their White Lines album. On this one, our special quest is an original member from Zero Nine, guitarist Timo Käsmä who plays one hell of a solo on this tribute.
The Iron Cross masterpiece 'Fight For The Strangers' can be originally found on their Too Hot To Rock album. We had an honour to have a visit from two guitar heroes from Taage's other band KILPI, Aleksi Summe and Pete Kilpi. These guys had a majestic sword fight in the studio and the result can be heard on this one.
You can stream these two songs from these links:
Ghost Machinery is currently working on their 3rd album, a follow up for the latest release Out For Blood that had great reviews all over the world. The demos are done and it's going to be yet another killer album with elements that have been found appropriate for a mighty melodic metal album. The
GM-crew promises you that it won't take another seven years to finish this one ;)"
