To celebrate the upcoming release of rock band Gizmachi's debut album The Imbuing , we're giving away two copies of the album, signed by the band. Gizmachi is an interesting rock group that is simultaneously heavy metal, while not being heavy metal, giving them a unique style that can not be matched. Brutal and beautiful are two words that accurately describe the potent music of Gizmachi. The upstate New York quintet's debut album 'The Imbuing' is forthcoming on Big Orange Clown Records, a Sanctuary Records imprint. Gizmachi is the flagship artist on Big Orange Clown and 'The Imbuing' is the label's first release. The group features Sean Kane on vocals, Jason Hannon on guitar, Mike Laurino on guitar and vocals, Kris Gilmore on bass and Jimmie Hatcher on drums.



How To Enter: Beginning today (April 19th) contestants need only send their name, age and location (City, State) to giveaways@gameshark.com with the subject line "Gizmachi: The Imbuing Giveaway". We'll accept entries for this contest until May 13th, 2005 at 11:59 PM PST. We'll announce the winners on May 14th.



About The Imbuing

GIZMACHI will release their debut CD, The Imbuing, on May 3rd on Big Orange Clown Records, an imprint of Sanctuary Records and founded by SLIPKNOT ’s M.Shawn "Clown (#6)" Crahan. Clown chose Gizmachi to be the label’s inaugural release, which speaks volumes to his belief in their music.



The band recently filmed the video for their first single "The Answer" last week in New York . The video was directed by Clown and produced by Doug Spangenberg (Killswitch Engage, Lamb of God, Every Time I Die).



Gizmachi will also be heading out on the road to deliver the message of The Imbuing live. After taking part in the Subliminal Verses tour with Slipknot, Shadows Fall & Lamb of God, the band will appear at the New England Metal Fest on April 24 and then hit the road with OTEP.
