Mach FoX, the mastermind behind the USA-based electro-industrial unit Zwaremachine, has served the "Biteback" track from his upcoming album, Chaos Of Man. Phage Tapes will release this seven-song album in October 2025 on cassette and digitally.
Chaos Of Man is by the classic Zwaremachine trio of Mach FoX with bassist Dbot and drummer Dein Offizier, who passed away in August 2023 due to cancer-related issues. The songs, originally intended for Zwaremachine's third full-length, were, after the passing of drummer Dein Offizier and personnel changes in the band, reworked and released under Mach FoX instead, as they would not fit into the current Zwaremachine live set.
As for Zwaremachine, the band is to embark on its The Machine Comes Alive 2025 Tour, starting on 19 September in Belgium (see the dates below). Link
