However, I\\\'m still willing to help out. But first, Demonic, we need to know what is it about Machinae\\\'s music that you like the most that you wanna hear from other bands? Is it the chip sound, the melody, the vocals, the guitaring, etc.?
Exactly why I came here. I figured someone must know something that at least has some of their qualities. What do I enjoy most about them...hmmm...I suppose it would be how they incorporate the techno sound of the sid with their Metal Rock sound. vocals...eh...aint to great, but the guitar work is phenomenal! Hope that helps.
Chip techno/metal. As a far out suggestion try Metronome. My second favorite band. A Japanese group that uses more NES-like sounds blended with punk and more recently J-rock music. It\'s definately worth just having a listen to see what you think. Unfortunately the best English fansite went down a while back so I don\'t know any good links. There should be a myspace page tho.
You could also try Deadsy. They mix chip sounds with very dark, gothy, distorted music. It\'s slow and they\'re bastards to their fans, but their first (only) album Commencement is good.
I can\'t really say about more metal bands cos tbh that isnt my forté.
