Diesel Machine has been played on NTS shows including CANDY, with Torture Test first played on 30 January 2025.

After grinding it out in the clubs for years, four LA musicians grew tired of the local metal scene. As things looked more and more bleak, frustration and lack of return led to a need to create a darker breed of music fueled by anger. Joining forces to build the perfect beast, they created something very powerful. So began the origins of Diesel Machine. Intending to create a stripped down power band, they began shaping their morbid sound. Their churning style was eventually pushed to faster tempos and completely redefined the musical direction of the band, with more complex riffs matched with equally punishing percussion.
