From its chrysalis stage as a two-man project in the late nineties, MDM has developed into a full-scale five-piece live machine. The project has taken on its own life form shaping and sculpting its own sound through the influences of the various members. This sound ranges from hard aggressive techno to more ambient and delicate soundscapes to allow the listener to travel along with the band as each album progresses. Constantly striving to create new grooves and beats, MDM still manages to stay true and pay homage to the original pioneers of the industrial genre yet taking the sound to an exciting new level with a repertoire of over 70 songs contained within six album releases, only made possible with the precise mixture of old and new from each member of the collective. They have also supplied music for films such as The Matrix Reloaded and Jimmy and Judy, winner of Best Film Award at the San Francisco Film Festival, as well as several other musical pieces for commercials, etc. Topics of war, greed, corruption, environmental destruction helm one end of the spectrum while introspective themes of emotional distress, sadness, anger, love, and heartbreak form the other end. A broad mix that is sure to take the listener in and out of various places in their minds eye, and with militaristic uniforms, flags, intense lighting and a charismatic presence, the live element compliments the themes explored in each piece of music creating an even stronger visual appearance. Time-tested, hard-working and a true passion for their craft has propelled MDM into the future as one of the leading up-and-comer industrial acts in Canada. They have garnered a worldwide fan base through grassroots promotions and marketing and have always made time to listen to their fans after all they are the true militia that keeps this machine running!!!
