NEW NEWS IS GOOD NEWS

Greetings, Everyone! I am happy to say that recording is going swimmingly and we are going to begin tracking bass soon. We’re hot on our way to finally finishing this record. In the mean time, if you haven’t heard or saw, with the hopes that this will hold you and us over until we finally get this album out, we’ve restarted the video blogs and we’re starting an acoustic...

A Much Needed Update.

It’s hard to believe but we are reaching the one year mark since we began recording our very first album. A year ago, I had it in my mind that we would have this album out by now. In fact, right when we began recording, I thought we would have had it out by September 2010 at the very latest… Then I thought it would be October… November… December… January… I...

We are still hoping for a summer release. More details will come in soon as we iron out everything. thanks for sticking with us, friends! -Cory

By the Beard of Zeus.

Greetings, Friends. If you’re our friend on facebook, you probably already know about our dearest amigo Nate Raynor’s recent departure from This Infernal Machine. Hopefully he’ll return to us someday, in some form or another. We miss his random freestyle raps during practice. Anyhow. In other news, I am happy to inform everyone that we’ll be making our live debut...

T-Minus 3 or 4 months.

We’re getting close here, kids. I’m editing some video at the moment and I felt like it was time to post a blog on what’s happening these days. The short version is we’re doing more of the same. Pre-production feels like it’s taken a little under forever to get through. It’s a relief that we’re finally moving into the actual production phase now....

Put The Bunny Back In The Box...

I feel like if you have been reading this blog site consistently over the last year, there wouldn’t be much to update on. But for those of you just joining us, I would first and foremost like to extend to you our deepest gratitude for your interest in this little thing we’re trying to do. It’s been an interesting year trying to get this band up and running. Earlier in 2009, I was...

Messing around with some drum parts for a song called “VIEWFINDER”… The electronic element to this song is no more and I enjoy what it’s become and Mr. Savageau right here has a lot to do with that. Yes and the sound is pretty blown out. I KNOW! Just wanted to let you guys know we’re still working towards bringing this music to life.

Why don't we call it something else?

The last month has been a rough one, health-wise, for This Infernal Machine. We were all at one point in the month of October sick with the dreaded swine flu. It’s a shame this inconvenient illness has done far worse to some than it did do any of us. All we experienced were a lousy couple of days with a stomach ache, really runny noses and unpleasant bowel movements among other symptoms. I...

it's certainly no chopin nocturne op. 9 no. 2

Yesterday’s practice was a good one. I experienced a moment where I kind of realized how this album may in fact sound. There are definitely going to be some moments on this album that are very classically inspired. Personally, I have been listening to a lot of classical piano music lately and I feel that shines through on some of the more recently written songs. But yesterday, Brady randomly...

Friends, Romans, Countrymen. Lend me your ears...

Lately in my internet travels, I have read of bands in my area losing members or experiencing “line-up changes” as it’s most commonly referred to. It’s hard to read such things, even if the remaining band members claim that their friendships with the recently departed are still in tact because those statements made are the last of an era in that band’s history. This...

Long Time, No See...

The title really speaks for itself… My mind has been elsewhere lately and for that I apologize, dear blog reader. But you should be comforted to know that a lot of my creative efforts and time have been spent with the band. It’s a lot of fun to play with these gentlemen. We all really want to start playing shows as soon as we can. However, I think it’s our first priority to...

With every day, we get closer...

Over the last few years, music has always been something I usually took my time with. I never really set deadlines for albums. I mean I’d, more often than not, give a projected time table, but it was never concrete and it would change a lot. This time is different. Myself and everyone in the band all agree that we want this album out by winter. There was a lot of work that was already done...

Hehehehehe Poppy Delight...

BLAND VOG # 4 from Cory Patterson on Vimeo. So as I’m sure you’ll see in this video, we have found ourselves a new bassist. If you have followed my musical history since my teen years, you’ll know that having my brother Brady, Lance and myself in a band together is somewhat of a reunion of sorts. The three of us were in a band back in high school called LePetomane. That was a...

I’ll post the video first this time so you can watch it before reading…. BLAND VOG #3 from Cory Patterson on Vimeo. So as you can see, where there are clouds, there is sun sure to follow. I’ve been fortunate enough over the years to have met some talented musicians and great people in my life. Nate Raynor falls under both categories. If you do some digging, he and I have...

Slight change in plans...

Well I have some unfortunate news. The hunt for a second guitar player continues. The guitarist we had lined up recently opted out due to personal reasons. However, the three of us will continue the search for someone who can adequately assist in bringing the live to show to life. Mat, Lance and myself are having a great time working on these songs for the time being. I’m confident this...

ANOTHER VIDEO COMIN' ATCHYA!!!

Tonight, it was just Lance and I jamming. No matter… Mat will be rejoining the fun times soon. We continued to work on music for the shows and for recording. If things go to plan and everything is where it should be, we may have a show soon. Hopefully the first of many. Anyway, rock that video HARD AND FAST!!!

wussup babeh???!!!

alright folks. how are ya? I’m doing well. The rehearsals are going great. We’re averaging about one practice a week. Now that may sound like it wouldn’t yield much of a result but I say to you, dear reader, NAY! We’ve been working on nearly half of “INTENSITY IN TEN CITIES” currently. Mainly the harder stuff. And as you can see from the video (I’ll post...

Just had to post this...

Today I received two emails from my good buddy in Arizona, Jimmy. In both emails, he sent a photo. Now I haven’t called him to get the definitive explanation as to what story these two photos tell, but I have a good idea. First off you have to understand the mind of Jimmy in order to understand why this is funny to him and I. He typically exercises the “Of all things you could do, you...

"Interview"

Hello all! thought after that little bit about secrets and choosing not to disclose anything just yet, I would go the opposite route this time… Kind of… A few months back I did an interview with a buddy of mine for a project he was doing for a class at his college. He mentioned something about it maybe getting published in a magazine, I think. But I won’t hold my...

You know that feeling when you want to spill a...

There are things I wish to discuss but there are a few reasons to why I can’t. The first of which is it’s still too early to determine how what is going on will pan out. I don’t want to give details to things that could very well fall through. But just know that what is going on has re-energized my pursuit in music significantly. Secondly, there is a fear aspect to all of this....

Get up to get down...

Ben Kenney “Distance & Comfort” - This is probably the best rock album of the year. Every song either makes me want to air guitar like there is no tomorrow or sing until my lungs give out. Black Light Burns “Cover Your Heart and the Anvil Pants Odyssey” - Oddly enough, I couldn’t get into this album at first. I’m never one for cover albums. But after a...
