American melodic hard rock \/ heavy metal band The End Machine issued second full-length studio album Phase2<\/em> on April 9th, 2021 through Frontiers Music Srl. <\/p>\n

Bassist Jeff Pilson commented: \u201cOn this record we set out to make the very best songs possible and are more than excited with how it turned out. We also weren\u2019t afraid to let elements of the Dokken sound come through loud and clear. As a result, not only was it a very organic and collaborative process, but it was a helluva lot of fun as well!!!<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel these are some of the best songs we\u2019ve ever written and I\u2019m blown away by all the performances. George [Lynch, guitar] was on fire throughout, Robert [Mason] makes it clear he\u2019s one of the very best rock vocalists around, and Steve [Brown, drums] delivered with all the passion and enthusiasm any band could ever desire. All in all it is a musical statement we can and will stand behind for a very long time!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

Guitarist George Lynch added: \u201cJeff , Robert and I had discussions prior to pre-production and writing sessions that we would make a concerted effort to emphasize hooks and accessibility in our writing. We made sure to constantly remind ourselves of the self-induced parameters we\u2019d created for ourselves so as not to get sidetracked and lose focus. I think that that guidance served us well. I\u2019m very proud of what we\u2019ve accomplished with The End Machine Phase2<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, frontman Robert Mason stated: \u201cI feel that Phase2<\/em> is a logical progression from our debut record, and I echo Jeff\u2019s point that in the writing process, none of us felt we had to distance ourselves from our past, nor our collective roots. That hit making Lynch \/ Pilson chemistry and song lineage is surely powerful and present, while allowing me freedom to both embrace it and show my own musical and lyrical flavors. This record shows us solidly in each other\u2019s musical pockets and grooves, and speaking of, Steve Brown showed up to crush it on drums… and he can sing some mighty background vocals! We hope fans of all of our catalogs will embrace The End Machine and Phase2<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n
