Inlaid Rust - Machinery in the Dark (2007)


Initiated back in 2006, Inlaid Rust is lead solely by one Roland La Goy from Salinas, California. Back in 2007 he released this absolutely stunning three track demo titled, 'Machinery in the Dark.'

Inlaid Rust could probably best be described as industrialized black metal. Roland blends together a fair amount of both brutal black metal riffs with slower doomy parts and industrial and ambient characteristics that reminds me of such stand-out acts as Blut Aus Nord and The Axis of Perdition, but even as there are similarities Inlaid Rust definitely has its own identity. I was surprised to find that the guitar work is quite melodic actually with some very interesting and mighty sinister sounding riffs and even a few solos. There doesn’t seem to be any real vocals or words to be communicated to the listener on this demo, but rather just completely inhuman growls and brief whispers can be heard in the background giving me the feeling that something is hunting me down in the dark. Interestingly for a demo the production is basically perfect. I honestly can’t find anything negative to say about this fantastic work.

Unfortunately things have been quiet around Inlaid Rust since this release though mentioning of a full-length did surface back in May of 2009, but nothing has appeared just yet.

If the idea of frightening sounding black metal fussed with some doom as well as industrial and ambient parts sounds like your thing than by all means make sure to check out this exciting demo.
