The Machinist release chilling new music video for “The Anthropic Mistake”

The Machinist, a band hailing from Manchester, has recently released a new music video for their song “The Anthropic Mistake.” This track is featured on their second album, Contempt For Life, which has garnered significant praise since its release on InViMa Records last year.

The music video is a minimalist, raw performance video that emphasizes the band’s DIY ethos. Forgoing flashy effects or corporate gloss, The Machinist focuses on delivering a gritty and intense visual representation that complements their sound.

Established in 2020, The Machinist has quickly gained a reputation for their unique blend of industrial metal. Fans of bands like Anaal Nathrakh or The Berzerker will appreciate the brutal sonic assault that The Machinist delivers. With their debut album, I Am Void, and now Contempt For Life, the band delves into the dark and challenging themes of contemporary society, addressing issues such as societal greed and environmental disasters that often go unnoticed.

The band, consisting of John Thompson on vocals and keys, Tobias Gray on lead guitar, and George Kal on rhythm guitar, does not shy away from presenting a bleak outlook on the future of humanity. Instead of offering hope, they choose to document the harsh realities of what lies ahead. After a successful 2025, which included captivating performances at Bloodstock, The Machinist continues their creative assault with this new music video, proving that they are relentless in their pursuit of pushing boundaries.

The latest album, Contempt For Life, showcases the band’s evolution and musical prowess, featuring tracks such as “Cathedrals Fall,” “Brace,” “Gog,” “Demagogue,” “Magog,” “The Anthropic Mistake,” and “Cracks.” The band invites fans to join them on Patreon for exclusive content and support, while also offering the option for one-time contributions.

For those who appreciate uncompromising and powerful music, The Machinist is a band worth following.
