Warmachine-European Invasion Tour 7"

This was posted in May 2007 and actually was contributed by Curious Guy from Phoenix Hairpins and System/Sabotage/Chaos . A few months later a real copy was a sweet find and since is a nice ep and rare shit is worth to be posted again
Warmachine is Detestation without Saira: When she left, the three remaining Detestation members formed Warmachine with a guy named Sakevin (who was previously the frontman of Axiom) handling vocal duties and recorded these four tracks (incl. a Resist cover) for a tour 7" for their European tour in spring of 2000. The first bass player for Warmachine was Alex from Axiom (I think he might have recorded on the split with Yankee Wuss). Kevin was the vocalist for Axiom before Warmachine started. Also after Kevin got kicked out of WarMachine, Mandy from Destroy took over vocal for a short time. they started to record for an LP (or was it a 7') with Mandy but it never got finished and the band disolved.
The tour ep was limited to only 240 hand numbered copies, included a poster and was released by Consensus Reality. Music wise this is close to Detestation plus the Motorhead-ish feeling and the male vocals.
Warmachine didn't last long, they released the split lp with Yankee Wuss in a limited number of copies and then called it quits, members joined some of the well known Portland bands,
That was the short rant...

Just a few things about this band:

The first bass player for WarMachine was Alex from Axiom (I think he might have recorded on the split with Yankee Wuss). Kevin was the vocalist for Axiom before WarMachine started. Also after Kevin got kicked out of WarMachine, Mandy from Destroy took over vocal for a short time. they started to record for an LP (or was it a 7') with Mandy but it never got finished and the band disolved.
