In 'Torture Test', Diesel Machine have created a nuclear meltdown the size of Chernobyl. The best advice is to book your place in the bunker now!

This is an altogether hard and heavy aural assault. Imagine if you will, combining the likes of Pantera and Coal Chamber, this is what your treated too.

A.J. sounds like he's been downing pints of sulphuric acid since he was a toddler, and combined with the musical talents of his bandmates, Pat who has played on Rob Halfords new album and tour, Shane who regularly records with MSG as well as Uli Roth's band and used to play with Yngwie Malmsteen makes Diesel Machine a force to be reckoned with.

'Torture Test' opens with the tile track, and you get the general idea of how the rest of the album is going to rip your head off, and make no mistake, it will!!

There's some angry stuff here, you only have to look at the titles of the songs and listen to the lyrics to realise how much anger the is in the camp.

Diesel Machine's strongest weapon is the perfect chemistry within the band. The four musicians work as a collective, write all of their songs together and produced 'Torture Test' themselves.

The result has ensured that 'Torture Test' is an extreme, unambiguously ferocious concoction of extreme hard rocking modern metal. Looks set to win over hordes of fans.
