Japanese metal band. D.A.M.N. dates to 1996. Sound described as doom/stoner with grindcore elements; raw, overdriven production; vocals relatively secondary.

One review hails Greenmachine’s D.A.M.N. (1996) as a monstrous, bizarre cult record. The Japanese trio deals in brutal heaviness: doom-laden passages, stoner haze, and grindcore bursts. Raw recording, blown-speaker vibe, and two long tracks that blur nine cuts. Vocals sit back in the mix; Man’s Ruin lineage noted; comparisons to early Cathedral and Entombed.
