After experimenting with electronic music since the 80's Anders Karlsson released his first cassette as The Pain Machinery in 1992. The original idea was to mix the raw energy of Punk and the sound exploring possibilities of Electronic and Industrial music, inspired by such diverse artists as SPK, Cabaret Voltaire, Sex Pistols, DAF, Public Enemy and Skinny Puppy among others.
TPM utilises obsolete analogue electronics, a wide array of filthy distortion boxes as well as cutting-edge technology to produce the missing link between rhythmic noise, punk and EBM.

When are we getting a new TPM album? If it's not soon I'm coming straight over to Sweden to slap you in the face with an EMPTY bottle of vodka! :D
Things are good here in the UK, we're busy writing the next Audio War album which is going extremely well. Prepare yourselves for a LOT of sub bass on this one! :)
I saw the vid to the rather savage track Snake Church on Youtube yesterday and added it to my favourites. Based on that one track Urban Survival should be a stormer!
Glöm inte bort att det är premiär för ANTI:STATIC nu på lördag! Tac, Conan och Tastemaker spelar synth, ebm, electro, industri och närbesläktat på Callisti, Malmtorgsgatan 5! 22.00-02.30 Gratis innan 23, 80 kr efter.
Things are good on my end and now even better knowing there is more new music on the way. If you get any UK gigs please give us a shout, I would love to see you live.
