Following the recent singles ‘dança (with Dame Area)’, ‘pressure/pleasure’ and ‘agony’, MAQUINA. present their first ever fully instrumental cut with ‘simulation’. Pushing their high-impact, motorik heaviness into a focused, dancefloor-ready rush, it turns guitar into a percussive engine, driving chugging beats, siren-like wails and sharp metallic strikes through a tight, instrumental blast of industrial punk. The accompanying video was made with footage from the band’s recent tour of Brazil.

Bottling the raw power of their now-legendary live shows, the incoming ‘BODY TRANSMISSION’ album marks a new phase in MAQUINA’s trajectory. Centred on the energy of the dance-floor, it is a heavier, more direct, and more intense record than its predecessors – described by the band as “an album always in motion.” The result is a full-body rush with no breaks; a club-ready rock record steered by the trio’s freight-train guitar, drums, and bass combo. “It was the most challenging and fun we’ve ever had in the studio because we pushed ourselves to write songs rather than just capturing jams,” say the band. “We wanted it to feel heavy, focused, and relentless. We kept the tempo up and the energy peaking – it’s an ‘always-on’ record.”
