THE END MACHINE: 'The Quantum Phase' Album Review

Published 2024-03-18
A little late to the review party, and just a short one, the third album by The End Machine builds on the previous two with some fine melodic hard rock and George still has it!

  • This album is keeping in line with the first two, and perhaps even rocks out a little more than the first two did. George's solos here are probably the best so far out of the three releases, and Girish does well to emulate the vibe that Robert provided on the first two albums, which is something that I was mildly concerned about. On songs like Shattered Glass Heart you would be hard-pressed to know if it were Girish or Robert singing. I like his vocal performance here quite a bit more than what he did on the Hosktra 13 album from last year. It's a typical Frontiers super group release, very consistent but often no truly top shelf songs, which is the case here. Still I'd give this an 8/10 based on quality alone; stylistically it reminds me of a hybrid of early Lynch Mob and Cinderella with the dirty sounding core guitar riffing and vocal delivery.
