Introducing Mechanism: Melodic Hard Rock from the Pacific Northwest.

Kurt Vonnegut once said "I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center" and it seems PNW powerhouse band Mechanism takes the sentiment to heart. Never satisfied with run o' the mill music, the four members of mechanism (Ryan Renfield, Tony DeLisio, Bobby D'Angelo, Saul Ashley) strive with each deliberate move to break new ground in both the writing/arranging of their music and in their live performances on the stage.

Heavy. Dark. Intense. Three words that have been used to describe the band and their music. Three more would be: Rhythmic. Precise. Energetic. Anyone who has witnessed one of their numerous live outings, whether it be playing one of their own gigs or as the direct support for a National touring act, can attest to the very raw and almost animalistic energy Mechanism brings to each performance, which is a direct result of the near constant practice of the individuals and the professional stance they take regarding their craft.

Hard yet radio-friendly tunes pepper the 7 song demo and continue on to the upcoming, as yet unnamed, full length album: if one didn't know better, NATIONAL ACT could be sprinkled into any conversation in relation to the band and none would be wiser. It's that level of professionalism that has won over so many fans from across the music spectrum and has allowed mechanism to attain a rabid, large and loyal fan base throughout the Pacific Northwest. Not many local bands can claim to have a full road crew (Tech for each musician, Road Manager), Lighting Technician and a Sound Person as well as a PR rep for all gigs...and they're all fans who just wanted on the Mechanism train.

Since their inception in 2007, Mechanism has been fortunate enough, through hard work and goodwill, to share the stage as direct support with world class national acts including: Sanctuary, Where Angels Suffer (wasp, metal church), Dokken, Lynch Mob, Brazilian metal gods Mindflow, Lizzy Borden, The Devin Townsend Project and Michael Schenker.

Having laid a solid foundation within both the local music and fan communities throughout the PNW, Mechanism has positioned themselves well and are eagerly looking forward to expanding their reach further by sharing their unique brand of music with a broader audience. By beginning to book shows across Washington State, Oregon, California, Idaho and British Columbia as well as entertaining any opportunity that comes their way, the band feels their hard work, unwavering dedication, steady consistency and professional preparedness has placed them exactly where they want to be.

Mechanism is very excited about the upcoming international release of their full length album and feels it truly showcases the veteran talent of the individual members as well as the band as a unit and will continue the success of their well received 7 song demo released in 2008.
