Sept 2004 - Sept 2006
Deus Ex Machina (DEM) was formed in early 2004 after Azra-el took a break. Ryan, the ex-lead player for Azra-el and Bhelliom started writing and rehearsing music with Lincoln(drums) and Justin (Fen-rir) on second guitar. Due to their inability to commit, Ryan roped in Gene ( TBK, Bhelliom) for drums and Mak(ex-Angel of Sin) on bass.
As a 3-piece the band decieded to carry on writing and rehearsing for the album.They played their first gig, the yearly Sanitarium Festival in August 2005 to a good response. Unable to have enlisted a permanent vocalist, Vivek( Azra-el , S.O.A.C) was asked to session for the gig. By the time recording came around, the band was still unable to get a permanent vocalist. Kathi(Rudra), Subash( Kaliyuga, TBK), Vivek, Lord Insanity(MeltgSnow)
and Marie Emily(M.E) came on board for this project to lend their vocals, with Ryan putting vocals on one track. The debut album of 7 songs is entitled The War Inside, with the band writing all the original material. the album was recorded at TNT Music Studios in Singapore, with KK Wong, Engineering and Co-Producing the album

Review by FHM
While local music has been on the upsurge of late, the metal scene is still very much tucked "underground". A few brave souls like Deus Ex Machina have decided to break the pattern by releasing a "commercial" album and sending a copy to FHM. Inspired by nefarious bands such as Martyr, Death, Carcass, Meshuggah and Iron Maiden, the quartet plays in-your-face-death metal that shivery parents or pastors would disapprove of.
