This Horrible Machine is an experimental deathmetal band from Lafayette, Louisiana. Though it was formed in January 2008, the band did not have a solid line-up until March 2009. The band's goal, since it's inception, has been to create a different breed of metal that is inspired not only by various metal genres, but also by the members' personal tastes, including a wide variety of styles.

Their influences range from post-rock, folk, and ambient to death metal, death core, and post-metal. The band recorded it's first official album in May 2009 with producer/engineer Brian Hood at 456 Recordings in Alabama. It is an EP titled "Dead Air" and features 6 tracks including an intro.
Since then, the band has focused it's efforts on the release and promotion of the aforementioned EP, "Dead Air", and of course, touring. While no tour dates are set at this point, THM will, without a doubt, be hitting the road not long after the release of their EP, which is scheduled for November 30th, 2010.
