Machines With Human Skin is the industrial rock project of multi-instrumentalist Adrian Halo, initially conceived when Halo was a teenager first discovering Wax Trax! artists and industrial rock bands like KMFDM, Sister Machine Gun, Nine Inch Nails, Chemlab, and 16Volt. Halo writes all lyrics, sings, and plays all instruments on his albums with occasional guests. He recently relocated to Chicago from Los Angeles, wanting to be closer to the friends he's collaborated with such as various members of The Joy Thieves including Wax Trax! veteran Chris Connelly, industrial bands W.O.R.M. and Flood Damage for which he plays bass, saxophonist Roger Ebner of Bitter Elixir and Pigface, and Jim Marcus of Die Warzau and Go Fight. Despite the challenges of 2020, it was a breakout year for Machines With Human Skin, culminating in remixes for Go Fight, Sapphira Vee, and Stoneburner among others, an interview on the dark alternative radio show Situation 47, a live stream performance on Twitch to benefit animal rights, and an appearance on several compilations, including Riveting Music's tribute to Pink Floyd’s The Wall and Electronic Saviors: Industrial Music To Cure Cancer. The new album was mixed and mastered by Jules Seifert of Epic Audio Media with the first single, “Watch It Burn,” mixed by the legendary John Fryer. “Watch It Burn” was also included on a 2021 compilation series by veteran industrial label COP International, Broken Hearts & Robot Parts 1.
