Thunder Rising veröffentlichen "Mad Machine" Video Clip
Heavy metal phenomenon Thunder Rising returns with the official video for "Mad Machine," a standout track from their latest album Horizon Line, available now via Wormholedeath.
"Mad Machine" is a masterclass in riff-driven intensity. The track opens with a commanding riff that serves as the engine behind the entire composition, a relentless force completed in just two bars, immediately establishing the song's complete narrative. Thunder Rising wastes no time setting the tone for what becomes an unforgettable sonic journey.
The song takes an unexpected turn in its central section, paying homage to psychedelic sound and culture with dreamlike atmospheres and otherworldly tones reminiscent of the Theremin. This bold shift showcases the band's willingness to push boundaries while maintaining their signature heavy sound.
In the final act, Thunder Rising doubles down on their technical prowess, condensing the riffing even further into a single-bar phrase—a testament to the band's musical precision and creative ambition.
Thematically, "Mad Machine" is an exhilarating celebration of nightlife and excess: the rush of loud music, the thrill of the open road, and the electric energy of unforgettable nights with friends. The titular "mad machine" represents both the literal vehicle and the metaphorical high of these experiences, building toward an explosive expression of romantic desire.

Defining the "Real Vintage" Sound
Thunder Rising, featuring veterans of the late ’70s and ’80s Italian rock scene (Firehouse and Arachnes), has meticulously defined their signature “Real Vintage” sound. This unique approach is a masterful blend of modern recording clarity and classic rock heritage, built upon decades of experience.
The album Horizon Line channels the deep, riff-driven energy reminiscent of heavy-hitters like Deep Purple and Rainbow, while embracing the soaring melodic sensibilities of AOR giants such as Journey and Boston.
The band’s commitment to authenticity is reflected in their choice of equipment: classic Hammond organs, Fender guitars, and Marshall amps are utilized alongside modern instruments and sharp recording techniques. The result is an audio experience that is both powerfully vintage and crystal clear. Horizon Line is defined by solid song structures, impressive guitar virtuosity, and standout vocals, taking listeners on an emotional journey—a metaphorical road trip through music and memory.
