LIFE CRUSHES ALL

Human Crushing Machine is the solo metal band of London (UK) based multi-instrumentalist Nick Schlesinger.

Recruiting Simon Gordon (Kill II This) on vocals along with guest lead guitarists, including Chris Poland (Megadeth, OHM), the band combines modern and classic influences to deliver powerful sonic punch.

Drawing on real life social issues, the message is politically charged standing for victims of domestic abuse, injustices of war, political corruption, and gender inequality, amongst others.

With pulverising grooves and riffs, dark textures and urgent lyrics, Human Crushing Machine uses music to hold a mirror up to a troubled society.

TUNNEL VISION

The debut single, Tunnel Vision, is a ferocious protest anthem highlighting the growing homeless crisis in Las Vegas, USA - a city of excess with a dark side where the disenfranchised live in poverty, despair and fear. More than just a song, it’s a statement and call to action.

“The inspiration for Tunnel Vision came from walking up and down the Strip as well as Downtown / Old Vegas. You get to see the glittering illusion of Vegas alongside the destitute high, drunk and sleeping on the baking sidewalks and tunnels right next to it, day and night. I want to shine a light on the issue.”

Tunnel Vision is the first piece in a larger body of work written to shine a light on issues that plague us a society, with unrelenting sound and purpose.
