The tags for Night Machine’s first batch of demo’s describe the band as “metalâ€, “retro†and “synthwave†– a combination that can be embarrassingly cheesy when not correctly balanced. Fortunately, based on these three demo tracks, the band seems to have figured out the right formula. It’s certainly over the top at times but that’s an intentional dramatic flair, not an accidental one.
The final track, “Gunslingerâ€, is the black sheep of the three. While it feels in need of the most polish, it certainly shows a band willing to investigate all sorts of genres.Â
