Performed at Sweden Rock Festival, Sabaton Open Air, Findustrial Festival, Rock At Sea, Gefle Metal Festival, Rockbitch Bat and other festivals.

Since J. Bergman and his creation Man Machine Industry had the opportunity to appear in the Playstation / X-Box game “The Darkness” the band have never stopped moving forward in making new music for the masses.

MAN MACHINE INDUSTRY is the solo project of producer/front-man J. Bergman who has a history as the drummer in Slapdash (Nuclear Blast/MNW) and Rosicrucian (Black Mark Prod).
After their successful tour through Sweden in 2014 together with RAUBTIER, J.B locked himself in the studio to write and record the album “BOX OF HORRORS” (2016). This album was to be the ignition to a newer, more melodic and heavier sound for MMI. The industrial sound of the band took a step back and as a producer / songwriter /vocalist JB reached “the next level”.
When "Box Of Horrors" was released in 2016 people was taken a bit by surprise on how heavy the band had become and that they still developed their sound beyond their own limitations and fantasy.

The album lead to a major European tour together with thrash/industrial pioneers PRONG from the US and the band name was branded into metal heads minds through out Europe.
The tour ended on a high note at Gefle Metal Festival followed by a few moths break due to J.B´s commitment to another band called REIGNSAW, for which he also wrote a conceptual book and produced their album. Reignsaw´s album was released on GMR Music (Ice Age, Crucified Barbara, Tyranex) which lead to a new record deal for J.B and his MAN MACHINE INDUSTRY committing to release MMI´s next two albums starting with their new album “REBORN” (out August 3rd 2018).

With this album MAN MACHINE INDUSTRY marks a new era in their musical journey. A new logo can be seen on the cover art, a heavier and more melodic, yet aggressive, sound can be heard in the production as well as a better musicianship by the performers. The album title sums it up in one word… “ R E B O R N “ and consists of fourteen re-recorded fan-favorites!
But fans will not have to wait too long for some new songs from the band. J.B says he already has written ten new songs which is "the best material I have ever written for MMI".
J.B calls the music he writes for MMI; HEAVY METAL with a thrashy edge and an industrial touch. That’s what MAN.MACHINE.INDUSTRY is all about!
