Me The Machine have today released their new single titled ‘War In Silence’. Modern metal with timeless feel, ‘War In Silence’ is a lesson in modern guitar. Slightly industrial in nature with melodic vocals and a polished mixdown, this is a song that spans generations and combines them with the current mix of metal, electronic, and hip-hop.
As collabs go, the track is as diverse as it is immense. Featuring Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka and artist Ando San, Me The Machine show that their diversity in music is both limitless and sublime.
About ‘War In Silence’
“War In Silence” was produced by famed Japanese composer and sound designer, Akira Yamaoka, best known for his work with Konami’s Silent Hill video game series. Yamaoka’s pioneering ethereal scores inform some of the light atmospheric touches underscoring the cut, from its industrial ghost notes to its mechanical backing guitar licks. The track’s light groundwork also comes with heavy-hitting, sensational metal instrumentals. A whispering vocal introduces the hard-lined track before a raw, crushing guitar comes into the mix, immediately throwing listeners into a swirling, alternative-metal bliss.
As Me The Machine coils, singing, “The only way to know how high I get/is to let me fall from grace,” he channels the emotive power of Bad Omens and Catch Your Breath. The chorus further echoes, “Silence screaming out / Breaking free from every sin / Silence in a war can betray my heart,” resonating with a profound depth that calls out current political strife due to social deadlock. Grunting riffs and splintering drum breakdowns transition to Ando San’s evocative feature, where he scathingly raps over the nu-metal score, wrestling with policies seeped in oppression. “‘War In Silence’ is fueled by the desire to express how imperative it is to use our time on earth wisely and fight against the ties that bind us,” explains Me the Machine. “How can we love ourselves if we don’t have the capacity to love one another?”
Me The Machine’s music merges underground electronic textures with pop sensibility and dark cinematic influences, creating a sonic environment perfect for both macabre listeners and upbeat metal-chasers. The cutting-edge Latine artist’s forthcoming album, The Flesh of The Innocent, ruminates on the social and cultural disparities between innocence and evil, as well as the juxtaposition between dark and light. Previous singles “Soul Eater,” “Miomantis (SCARS),” and “Lightyears,” further capture the project’s aesthetic motif: emotionally charged yet mechanically disciplined, delivering a tension that’s stirred up listeners across the globe. The electric singer has garnered praise from KTLA and AP News, catapulting him toward more ambitious and audacious collaborations that take advantage of his collaborative strengths.
About Me The Machine
Me The Machine is an alternative-genre musician whose sonic identity straddles the boundary between human emotion and mechanized precision.
Emerging from Los Angeles’ alternative and indie-pop scenes, Me The Machine adopted a moniker that reflects a duality: part emotional storyteller, part cold-wired automaton. That tension runs through the music — diverse vocals and atmospheric textures layered with synthetic beats and digital glitches.
Me The Machine’s sound inhabits the space between alt-pop, electronic and industrial-tinged art-rock.
“Not quite human, not quite a machine. Dive into the dark side of pop music… But be careful, you might get your heart ripped out by the sound.”
That tagline captures the aesthetic: emotionally charged yet mechanically disciplined. Tracks such as “Soul Eater”, “Miomantis (SCARS)”, and “Lightyears” that showcase collaborations with notable composer “Akira Yamaoka”, best known for his role as musical director for the iconic video game franchise “Silent Hill,” cement his commitment to cinematic and immersive production.
Me The Machine’s music merges underground electronic textures with pop sensibility and dark cinematic influences. Driving themes: identity, alienation, transformation, and the intersection of organic and artificial. His cinematic sensibility and his acting background converge: each song invites the listener into a liminal space, where vulnerability meets circuitry.
His self-released work built a DIY ethos in his early years, evolving toward more ambitious collaborations and production value.
