No Return is one of the most original and inspiring modern bands on the French metal scene. Blending traditional 80?s thrash and progressive death metal with futuristic industrial metal, the group delivers a truly phenomenal mixture of power and passion. ?Machinery?, the band?s fifth full-length release, remains one of their finest offerings, bringing a heavy dose of modern metal annihilation!

The album was released in 2002 and soon it was clear that this was the band?s best material yet. Filled with brutal riffing, light-speed drumming and harsh, passionate vocals, the album brings a phenomenal mixture of old-school Bay Area thrash metal and cybernetic industrial sounds, making up for a truly unique atmosphere. The listener gets stomped right from the beginning, with such ferocious tracks as ?Virus?, the Gothenburg-inspired ?Disillusion? and ?Violator?, which was dubbed by some reviewers a perfect mix between old Fear Factory and Kreator. But one of the most interesting highlights of the record is definitely No Return?s cover version of ?Secret Face? by the legendary Death ? an amazingly original interpretation of a truly brilliant song. Lyrically, ?Machinery? is a cybernetic concept album, portraying futuristic vision of death and annihilation in a world overrun by rebellious machines. It?s no wonder that the music press often compared this LP to ?Soul of a New Machine? by Fear Factory, but also to Sepultura?s ?Arise? and Entombed?s ?left hand Path?. Without question, No Return?s fifth opus is one of the most extraordinary releases on the modern metal scene.

Metal Mind Productions will release ?Machinery? in a new digipak edition on the 25th August 2008 in Europe and 28th October 2008 in USA (via MVD). It will be digitally remastered using 24-Bit process on a golden disc and limited to 2000 copies.
