Death Machine return with a brand new single and announce autumn
tour dates for Denmark, Germany, Switzerland and Austria
‘Isle Of Mine’ is the first single from the band’s upcoming 3rd album
Having spent the majority of the hottest summer in history in Denmark locked in a dark basement in Copenhagen, Death Machine are ready to welcome the fall with the first single from their upcoming third album.
‘Isle Of Mine’ is the title of the new single and with its subtle and thoughtful mood it is perfect to accompany the changing of the seasons. It is built around the characteristic voice and guitar of Jesper Mogensen, and backed by a dusty horn section, a quiet piano and a tribalistic rhythmtrack, the personal lyrics are put in a much larger and cinematic frame.
The folk band Death Machine are known for their fusion of traditional American folk with more synth-like sounds, and their futuristic folk album, Cocoon, gave them a unique presence on the Danish alt. folk scene. Both the title track as well as the song ‘Bleak’ were among the most frequently played songs on the National Danish Radio in 2017.
Death Machine has also just announced autumn tour dates which can be seen on the band’s facebook page, a 20-date tour which will bring the band across Denmark, Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
lyrics
Isle Of Man
by Death Machine
Lyrics/Music: Jesper Mogensen
Arrangement: Death Machine
You still talked
While I went for a walk
Wintercoat
It has become my home
Ice been crushed beneath
These winterboots on heavy feet
Guess I did leave
A year before my feet
Hold my breath
Forgot what you just said
Winter breeze
A wall I cannot see
All these years are gone
Once again, I dreamed of more
I drew a line
Kept my enemy defined
You dont walk the streets I walk
It’s the isle of mine,
it’s the isle of mine
Now Days pass by
but I dont mind
I have all the time,
I have all the time
White Winterfog
will soon be gone
When a view is torn,
then a new is born
I Search between the trees,
around where I used to hide,
where I used to drown
the dreams I found
Snow is deep
White as the silent sleep
Warming gloves
Has come between our touch
Footprints in the snow
Evidence of where it goes
You talk, I walk
I’m the setting sun this dawn
You dont walk the streets I walk
Its the isle of mine,
its the isle of mine
Now Days pass by
but I dont mind
I have all the time,
I have all the time
White Winterfog
will soon be gone
When a view is torn,
then a new is born
I Search between the trees
around, where I used to hide,
where I used to drown
the dreams I found

The story of Death Machine begins with a real shitty week in the life of lead singer Jesper Mortensen. Within one week his
girlfriend leaves, his old band dissolves and he gets fired from his job. Instead of breaking down Jesper transform the anger and despair into his first set of songs by the dogma that each songs must take up to 8 hours to complete....more
