Geistmaschine

Geistmaschine originated from the creative aftermath following Timothy and Michael’s departure from their previous band, Goldstein. They were soon joined by Gabriel in May 2023, and together, they began a new musical journey. The trio, each bringing a unique set of influences and passions, formed a cohesive unit driven by a desire to explore and redefine the boundaries of post-metal music.

Timothy, the band’s guitarist and effects aficionado, draws inspiration from the intricate narratives of graphic novels and the expansive sounds of bands like Russian Circles and We Lost the Sea. Michael, the bassist, incorporates his love for cinema and dark, atmospheric music from groups such as Ulver and Mogwai, enriching the band's soundscapes. Gabriel, on drums, brings a blend of grindcore punk and experimental music, adding an unpredictable edge to the music with his noisy, chaotic bursts.

The name Geistmaschine, which translates to 'Ghost Machine,' was inspired by the haunting atmospheres of the German television series ‘Dark’. This name holds personal significance for each member, embodying the spirit of their musical and thematic explorations which often delve into themes of loss, intense change, and the vastness of space.

Currently, Geistmaschine is preparing for their debut full-length album, focusing on refining their songs and live performances. With aspirations to sign with a record label and tour internationally, the band is poised to make significant strides in the music world, inviting listeners into their evocative and otherworldly sonic universe.
