Chicago band Mechina, which plays space themed industrial / death and symphonic metal.

Their music is very rhythmic, and I they are my go to band when I need to concentrate. But they are also the band I listen to whenever I need to feel good.

They use both clear vocals and growling, and I really like both.

Their albums tell a story that they keep on building with each release, and the singles connect the narrative of every album together.

I've seen a few people call their music "Mass Effect Metal", and I get why. They use a lot of audio that could be used in these video games : audio logs from lost spaceships, emergency communications and such.

Here's my favorite song from them. It's a long one but I love every second of it. Even the sound effects at the start.
