Oulu, Finland-based metallers GHOST MACHINERY have signed a worldwide deal with German label Limb Music.

Ghost Machinery was formed in 2002 by Pete Ahonen, the singer and guitarist of another Finnish band, BURNING POINT. The debut album, Haunting Remains, was released in 2004 and it gained a lots of great reviews all over the world. Due to the unfortunate problems with their label back then, the band decided it was best to leave the company.

As they continued to record the new songs, the idea to take the new singer to the band grew stronger. Pete contacted his friend Taage (Laiho), ex-ALTARIA and KILPI singer, and asked him to join the band.

Pete says, "Taage is by far one of the great singers around and we’re very happy that he joined us and the fact that we have quite similar vocal style and range makes him very easy to sing the vocal melodies I’ve been written."

Also, the new bassist, Sami, was a perfect fit to complete the new Ghost Machinery lineup.

"Sami has great stage precence as well he is an awesome player and one of the key points is also his huge enthusiasm towards the music of Ghost Machinery", Pete stated.

After over 10 offers from the record labels around, they chose Limb Music. The new, 2nd album, Out For Blood, will be released in autumn 2010.

Lineup:

Taage Laiho - Vocals (Kilpi / ex-Altaria)

Pete Ahonen - Guitars (Burning Point / STARGAZERY)

Mikko Myllylä - Guitars (KING'S RUIN)

Sami Nyman - Bass

Jussi Ontero - Drums, Keyboards (Burning Point / King’s Ruin)
