Recorded in the fall of 2025 at Evolver Studio, frontman David Eering’s newly built recording facility in Dordrecht, their upcoming eight album »Another Sun« captures what is arguably the strongest incarnation of The Machine to date. Propelled by the new lineup’s unstoppable fire and chemistry, the trio delivers an electric, sun-baked heavy-hitter packed with intricate grooves and rich dynamics. »Another Sun« digs deeper into their fuzz-driven songcraft while leaving ample room for free-flowing jams and those 90s alt-rock hooks that have made them stand out from the pack since their inception two decades ago.

For the better part of two decades, The Machine have carved out a reputation as one of the most genre-defying acts to emerge from the European underground. Doused in space and soaked in riffs, the power trio of David Eering (guitar/vocals), Chris Both (bass) and Klaas Dijkstra (drums) has continually redefined its sound, balancing a deep-rooted love for stoner rock with excursions into heavy psych, progressive rock, doom, ’90s alternative and expansive space rock. As one of the frontrunners of Europe’s second wave of stoner and heavy psych, the band established an early landmark with the now cult-classic »Solar Corona« before continuing to evolve with every release that followed.

Already announced with a surprise full-album performance at this year’s Roadburn Festival, »Another Sun« signals the beginning of a new chapter for The Machine. After nearly two decades as one of Europe’s most consistently adventurous heavy rock bands, the trio now steps onto a broader international stage, reaffirming their place alongside legendary Dutch acts like 35007, Beaver and 7Zuma7, while finally bringing their expansive blend of stoner rock, heavy psych and space-driven grooves to a much wider audience.
