Welcome to Ton of Metal, kids. Here you will find a heavy music video posted every Saturday, as well as short (sometimes medium-to-long) commentary on the great bands that I have gone through the pain and disappointment of discovering so you don't have to. Also, every fourth Saturday, I'll post a trip down memory lane that I like to call Flashback, as well as the occasional theme month. I do all the work - all you have to do is subscribe at the bottom, or click in every Saturday and CRANK IT!

Deus Ex Machina (Singapore)
Alright kids, Deus Ex Machina is a melodic death band out of Singapore. Beyond the band's actual skills, the secrets of DEM's success in the west are two-fold. First, even through lineup changes, the band's membership has always been diversely international; and second, unlike a large percentage of the metal bands in southeast Asia, which tend to be either brutal or technical, the band strikes a balance between the two. Also, if you listen, I think you'll hear a distinct NWOBHM spine underlying the shifting balance. Now, of course I could talk all day, but as usual, the best way for you to get the picture is to just dive in. From the I, Human album, it's Deus Ex Machina! CRANK IT!
