Saviour Machine

American gothic/epic metal project led by brothers Eric and Jeff Clayton. Noted for theatrical baritone vocals, Christian-themed concept lyrics and ambitious long-form works (notably the Legend project).

Led by Eric Clayton with Jeff Clayton involved; lyrics and concepts strongly inspired by Old and New Testaments. The band conceived the multi-volume Legend (Apocalypse) project, initially planned as a trilogy and later extended, which has suffered delays and remained incomplete according to reviews; delays were attributed in reviews to Clayton's health and other uncertainties. Reviews describe music drawing from classic heavy, eighties dark-wave, and classical/operatic influences.
