Death Machine breaks 4 years silence with new single. And announcement of a new double album.

Over the past few years, Danish band Death Machine has been working on writing and recording songs for their double album Dawning Eyes. The result is 20 elaborate and varied songs that will be released on April 25, 2025 on Celebration Records. Modern Man is released today as the first single from the album.

Death Machine have since their debut gained a massive fanbase with their eclectic mix of alternative folk with elements of pop, indie and noise rock. Now they are ready to unveil what they have been working on for the past many years. The first single Modern Man, taken from their upcoming double album is out today!

Modern Man draws on a nostalgic 80s atmosphere, percussive primeval power, hypnotic grooves, growing synth surfaces and a warm, organic sound.

The narrative takes us into the alienated, isolated existence of a "modern man" who find himself in a bittersweet realization that surrendering to the world of today means renouncing one's own values.

"Our time sometimes feels like a time when you make an incredible amount of compromises as a human being in order to fit into society’s norms and the structures that surround us. Modern Man is an expression of the feeling you can sometimes have that in some areas we may be distancing ourselves a little from what is fundamentally general human behaviour", explains Jesper, who is the band's frontman and songwriter.

Death Machine p lays organic, alternative folk with elements of pop, indie, and noise rock. Their new album Dawning Eyes takes the listener through a musical landscape that winds around different genre expressions and moves through time with strong references to various musical periods. The listener will be able to explore everything from a 70s vibe to a more 80s-inspired sound, all the way up to the present day.

The album features both a massive, grand cinematic sound, while also leaving room for the intimate and personal, as if the band were playing in the living room with the listener. The focal point is a constant interplay between contrasting elements that create synergy and intensity. A hard-hitting band name with contrasting songs. It should be unpredictable and universally appealing at the same time.

All the songs on Dawning Eyes reflect the fact that they were written with the intention of pursuing the original genre and musical expression, from the initial idea to the finished song, no matter how different or unconventional they may have been compared to the back catalog.

The band tells: "We all come from different musical backgrounds, each with our own musical baggage, which has influenced the songs' various expressions. We have wanted to write these songs regardless of how genre-defying they might be, and therefore we did not want to box ourselves in. Moreover, the writing process was not subject to a strict time constraint, as the first album was. Instead, we gave the songs time to develop, allowing them to reach the right expression."

Death Machine's new album Dawing Eyes will be out on April 25, 2025 via Celebration Records.
