In this episode, I sit down with Irish metal trailblazers Machina Kore to dive deep into their fearless new album, Ghosts of Everest. Formed in 2020 and built on decades of hard-earned experience in the rock and metal scenes, the band share their journey from their raw debut EP 'Blood in Code' to the bold, genre-defying sound they’ve forged today. We explore the emotional and philosophical heart of Ghosts of Everest—an album that takes listeners through the highs and lows of life, from self-inflicted struggles to challenges beyond our control, always underpinned by a message of strength and resilience. Track by track, we unpack the stories behind songs like the thunderous “Goliath,” the haunting “Stone to Farewell,” the visceral “Making a Monster,” and the title track that closes the record with a powerful statement. Along the way, Machina Kore discuss their refusal to be boxed in by genre and the creative chemistry that fuels their music. We also get a glimpse into their writing process, their plans for the future, and the personal meaning behind some of their most intense lyrics.
