“With heavy influences from legendary metal bands, such as Megadeth, Slayer, Randy Rhoads, and Pantera, one can say that Mechanism rocks harder than Crue used to, and they are obvious in their determination to bring back the integrity that was once given to the metal genre, by all of those legends. This is a band that is destined for legendary status, having become one of the most popular metal bands in the pacific northwest. This is a band that the world needs to see and hear.”

“'Shadows and Dust' delivers ten tracks that include some unique and powerful cross genre gems to help solidify a diverse release from beginning to end. 'Shadows and Dust' is a fitting title track that reveals Mechanism refining their sound on both a production and musical level. It's heavy but comfortable enough to please fans from multiple genres. 'Illuminati' showcases the band as a tight knit unit and 'Devil with a Gun' is a very cool new tune, along with 'Them'-a zombie apocalypse inspired tune, that reinforces this band is ready for anything. 'And just in case anyone starts thinking Mechanism might be losing the metal edge crank up 'Prepare for War' then think again. If you want the best music then it really doesn't get any better than this. The musicianship is exceptional and the music outstanding. Ultimately the true test is in the listening and the results in the listener. 'Shadows and Dust' by Mechanism is a groundbreaking debut of a band you will hear lots more from.”

“The new Mechanism CD "Shadows & Dust" OH MY GOODNESS!! Wait till ya hear this CLASSIC! Might be one the best metal albums out of the Seattle/Tacoma area since one of the classic Metal Church CD's back in the 80s! Brutal, melodic, crushing yet radio friendly! ”

“WOW! Dynamite! this is the first band I've ever reviewed that has left me so blown away that I'm searching for words good enough to capture their incredible essence. This is red hot Metal with balls on and wearing tight leathers. I've also coined the term, 'Racy Rock' and that fits too. It means Rock having sex. Throughout the tracks you are a dynamic unit with a B&D element. An explosion that just keeps exploding. Perfect vocalist with a sexy edge for the genre and mind blowing musicians. Great guitar work and a fast paced, hot drummer. The resultant sound achieved is horny and electric with everything at just the right pitch, which gives you a sense of balance as you're falling of your chair in amazement. Personally, I loved the sexy, 'Shameless' and the down to the bone lyrics in 'Money'. Wow guys! All that's left to say is that this is the best band I have reviewed. Bring on the fame! (Michele Boylan. Critic/Reviewer)”
