Mechina are basically a one trick pony that somehow found enough nuance in their sound to drop some of it (the death metal vocals and overt industrial influences) to become even more two-dimensional. Somehow, though, this singular vision the band continues to execute is still entertaining and enjoyable (it also doesn't hurt that there really isn't anyone else doing this sound). As is generally the case, Mechina have kind of improved on their sound while not really doing anything different -- but I do find myself enjoying this one more than their last few. The riffs are better, the vocal melodies are a little more memorable, the songs are just slightly more diverse... and there's really not much more to say about Mechina's brand of Atmospheric Djent / Symphonic Metal. Mechina may be a one-trick pony, but it's a trick that they've totally mastered.
