Man Made Machine Made Man – from the home studios of the band to the European festival stages... this one is for the fans!
The writing phase for the second album started in August 2018. The album was recorded at Soundlodge Studios in February 2019 and released as 'Man Made Machine Made Man' (MMMMM) in July 2019. The consequential Festival Summer saw Critical Mess playing Wacken Open Air, Metaldays Slovenia, Hamburg Metaldayz, Bonebreaker, Metal Underground Resistance Open Air, M.I.S.E. Open Air, Metal Frenzy and Rock & Metal Dayz and select dates at venues all over Germany.

Demise Lyrics:
The creator is
Dead
The creator is
Dead
Forehead pressed to the window
Finger-stroke through breath on glass
Air to wind
See your sign fading
Fading
Bound in flesh
Walked by fear
Human burden you shall overcome
Like a fire's fractal flame be the spark
Be the spark
Rise
Empire
Rise
Last confession
There’s no caution in reverse
Expired session
No future in this universe
No bomb
No hate
No religion
No gunfire
Mistake is made
Random earthly occupier
The creator is dead
Long live the creator
Self-created heir to the throne
Shadow species, children of the sun
One by one
Lead you into silence
Recursive self-improvement
Evolution’s pride pushed aside
Hard take-off
Will do what can be done
Can’t be undone
Exceed
The system
Machine apocalypse
Embrace
The dawning
Age of human eclipse
Illusion destroyed
One final exploit
The demise of a clown
The demise of the crown
