Forming in 2006, they originally split in April 2010, but later reformed in January 2013 after a three year hiatus, before going on a hiatus again.

While recording their debut album, the band impressed several labels and ultimately selected Rise Records, to which they were signed on October 14, 2008. Their debut album, As If Everything Was Held in Place, was released on March 3, 2009, and through touring their region relentlessly, they quickly became the word of mouth buzz band in the genre.

On April 19, 2010, Of Machines stated on their myspace that they have broken up due to Dylan's earlier departure from the band thus creating a domino effect on the rest of the other band members.

As of early 2013, the original line up are now recording a new EP. Some songs came from it, but the band went on a new hiatus after that.

Former Members (Album Recording Members):
Dylan Anderson - Vocals (2006-2010)
Bennett Freeman - Screamed Vocals & Electronics (2006-2009) Rest in Peace: https://www.tributearchive.com/obituaries/25028499/bennett-clay-freeman/peachtree-corners/georgia/crowell-brothers-funeral-home

This is one of the best songs I've ever heard. This song nearly changed me, and was a huge inspiration in my life. I've had the pleasure of listening to this over and over again--along with the rest of the album--while I wrote a few of my fictions. This is one of those songs I can play and depict my own music/movie trailer in my head and write it out (I plan to make a career out of writing, to write fiction professionally). Thank you, Of Machines, for making some of the best music I've heard :)

EVERYONE a few months ago I said I knew they were going to get back together. It's true, Of Machines facebook page announced a new project! they pretty much started a new band. Native Suns = Of Machines. There has been a few Changes in the members but they said they will be the same or even better! Go check them up on Facebook. Thumbs up to get the message out and go like "Native Suns" on facebook! Thanks!

All bands are art. No matter how bad they are. 99% Of bands are driven by something, by some inspiration. How would you feel if you were in a band and people said your band was shitty, and you put your time and heart into it just to have someone bash it.. Have respect for more bands. Just because you don't like them, doesn't mean they still aren't a piece of art.

@0WierdAsHell

11y↑1

Quite the amount, they started a donation pool in Tumblr(Just google Chroma Dreamcoat)to raise funds, thou one of the main reasons for this is that they want to see how much does the public want their music. I may not be a die-hard fan of them, but their music is very good and they should come back. If you like this band Thumbs up so other people can see this! :D

Agreed. I said its a New Project with Changes in members. 3 of the members of Native sons either covered up in some shows, or were members from the past band that later formed of machines known as We are kings. Sooo some of the members were connected to Of Machines one way or another. But yes they dont really sound similar :l
