Ancient Machine by Ancient Machine

The artwork was in the hands of the talented graphic designer Aurelio Lara and as a side note, the cover artwork also features Rafael Dittert, a special guest, the youngest son of our guitarist Kiko Dittert!

The cover means the contrast and the clash between 2 generations, the boy representing the new generation with its own way of thinking and acting and the robot representing the old generation which is really ancient and archaic but it been present for a long time.
The fingers touch represents the knowledge transfer between generations and at the same time, a little bit of curiosity from the new generation to understand how the things worked in the past and on the other hand the robot tries to understand what the new generation brings to benefit all of us and both can co-exist peacefully and in harmony.
Besides the robot is the generation that still needs machines to do the work while the boy is the thinking, software, programming and not necessarily needs machines to get the job done anymore. Is it the future?
All of this reflects in our music which its foundation is the 80’s hard rock but with a new approach, modern and using the technology that we have today.
We hope you like it!
Stay Ancient, machiners!
