I will have a picture of this up by tonight 12/20/07..sorry.

Here is a copy of the hard to find Heavy Metal Machine by a band formed just for this short project. The band consisted of Mikael Akerfeldt, Peter Lindgren and Anders Nordin (all from Opeth) and Dan Swano on vocals. There have been a couple of copies of this EP on e-bay in the last 6 months which is suprising due to how unbelievably rare this collectors item is....I have two that I purchased while traveling through Europe several years ago. The two songs on the vinyl are "Heavy Metal Machine" and "Rock Tonite". It was actually done in fun when the guys were just playing around and has a very different sound. To give you an idea of what you are in for this is taken from the Wikipedia page:

During a jam session, when the band were soundchecking the drums, they hit upon an idea to record a short piece for fun, entitled Guitars and Metal. This gave birth to Steel. Subsequently, they were asked to record more songs and when they did, the songs which were originally meant for a demo, actually appeared on a limited picture 7" EP, entitled Heavy Metal Machine released by Near Dark Productions. To this date, it remains their sole record.

Featuring only two songs, Heavy Metal Machine sounds very much like a typical 80s power band, with high-pitched vocals, shredding solos, pounding bass lines and even 80s-style sound effects (police sirens, etc). However, the record is not meant to be taken as a serious power metal attempt. As limited release, Heavy Metal Machine remains a collectors' item and is hard to come by.
