Finnish Ghost Machinery inked a deal with Limb Music.
Finnish melodic metal act, Ghost Machinery, signed a worldwide record deal with German record label Limb Music.
Ghost Machinery was formed in 2002 by Pete Ahonen, the singer & guitarist of another Finnish band Burning Point.
The debut album, Haunting Remains, was released in 2004 and it gained a lots of great reviews all over the world! Due to the unfortunate problems with their label back then the band decided it was best to leave the company.
As they continued to record the new songs, the idea to take the new singer to the band grew stronger.
Pete contacted his friend Taage (Laiho), ex-Altaria & Kilpi singer, and asked him to join the band. Pete says, "Taage is by far one of the great singers around and we’re very happy that he joined us and the fact that we have quite similar vocal style & range makes him very easy to sing the vocal melodies I’ve been written"
Also the new bassist, Sami, was a perfect fit to complete the new Ghost Machinery line-up. "Sami has great stage precence as well he is an awesome player and one of the key points is also his huge enthusiasm towards the music of Ghost Machinery", Pete stated.
After over 10 offers from the record labels around, they chose Limb Music.
The new, 2nd, album "Out for Blood" will be released in Autumn 2010.
Line-up:
Taage Laiho / Vocals (Kilpi & ex-Altaria)
Pete Ahonen / Guitars (Burning Point & Stargazery)

Sami Nyman / Bass
Jussi Ontero / Drums & Keyboards (Burning Point & King’s Ruin)

Basstracks are recorded, finally!
Hi folks!
This is the day that I can proudly tell you that all the bass tracks are done. It..s time for a little celebration at this point! Ghost Maestro Pete had enough patience to be the sound engineer for my playing, so thanks again, man!
There..s something going on with our lead singing, you..ll be the first to hear it from here. If everything goes as planned, 3 weeks from now and we have lead vocals recorded. Stay tuned...
-Sami
September 14, 2009
Hi everyone!
So, as you have read from here, I..m the new bass player with the guys. I..m very excited to have this honour to be the new 4-string axeman. As you might know, I recently quit with my old band The Kickstart Rockers because I got bored playing and singing cover rock. This is a great chance for me to be able to focus on playing bass only. Sometimes there might be a moment of screaming my lungs out as a backround vocalist ;)
The new record is nearly done and I must say, that all the new tracks are killer-songs! We..re going to record all the bass tracks this week, hopefully everything goes well. No doubt about it!
Stay tuned, stay heavy and most of all, stay tuned!
-Sami
ps. After today..s work at the studio, the first basstrack has been recorded! We were only about to put microphones in place and find the right sound but by accident Fortuneteller has a basstrack now ;)
September 13, 2009
I think it's time for a little update of whats going on
Just a few days ago we recruited a new bassplayer and his name is Sami Nyman.
Sami recently part ways with his former band The Kickstart Rockers which was/is a cover band playing rock classisc ranging from the Paint it black to the Breaking the law.
Sami will post a statement later...
He will start to record the bass next week and hopefully within a week the bass tracks are done. Drums done, keyboards done, rhythm guitars done, few solos done...So, few solos and the bass and it all waits for the singer to sing! Yeah the singer...who is the singer ? Well, we have to be a little cryptic for now because it's not a "done deal" yet, but we can assure that many of you will recognize the name from various bands.
Here are a few song titles: Mask of Madness, Blood from Stone, Lost in Time, Out for Blood, Guilty, Face of Evil, Name will Remain (in History), Fortune Teller..
That's for now, stay tuned for more!
