[edit] History
Ghost Machine came together when vocalist Ivan Moody and guitarist John Stevens met at XM Radio. Ivan's band Motograter, previously signed to Elektra Records, were to perform live on-air, when John, an XM Radio producer, impressed with Ivan's vocals, thought he would be a good fit with the material he had written for his previous project.
After several recording sessions, drummer Chris Binns of Motograter was recruited, along with electronics/keyboards/programmer Brett Davis and finally bassist Mike McLaughlin.
The band released their self titled debut album Ghost Machine on July 26, 2005 via their own label Black Blood Records. The album was engineered and co-produced by Pete Murray (Lo-Pro).
On December 21, 2005, the band signed with independent label, Corporate Punishment Records.[1]
The band's second album Hypersensitive was released on November 21, 2006. The album features ten new tracks which weren't featured on the band's previous release.
The song "Siesta Loca" is featured on the Saw III soundtrack.
