Machine Command started in 2014 with creating EBM influenced by acts like Nitzer Ebb, Spetsnaz, Buzz Kull, Ultra Sunn, Choke Chain, Leather Strip and such. The band started out under the name Halcyon Days and did release the EP's "tetrachy" and "Without Fear E.P." and the album "To The Point". On the album singer Daryl Grootfaam was part of the lineup.

In this period a remix was made for the track "Want It" from XP8 which was released on their "Meathead's Lost HD" album. There were also some live shows played with the high point being opening for Straftanz at Cyberia in Utrecht

In 2018 an attempt was made to record a second album. Ten songs were made and three songs were completely finished and one of them ("Bodyheat") was released on the Side Line compilation "Electronic Bodies Session 1" out in 2023

In 2023 work was restarted on the second album. Former singer Daryl was unavailable so the decision was made the finish the album in a more club EBM style using guest vocalists, AI and samples. Because there was another band active under the name "Halcyon Days" it was decided to change the bandname to "Machine Command". 4 songs from the 2018 sessions were reworked and together with 6 new songs they make up the new album.

The new album is entitled "New Socialism" and hold 10 hard EBM bangers in an crosover between old skool/Anhalt EBM and modern club EBM.

Machine Command is the project from Pieter Winkelaar from the Netherlands. He is a well known EBM/Industrial/Darkwave DJ under the name DJ Krat and was a resident of the Cyberia and Freitag parties in the Netherlands and active as DJ on the Summer Darkness festival. He is also active with the Rhytmic noise/doomcore act The Peoples Republic Of Europe.

DJ KRAT = Electronics. Machine Command started out in 2013 making EBM in the style of Nitzer Ebb. Originally released under the bandname Halcyon Days the band decided to change their name to Machine Command because going to court is cumbersome , even if we had the oldest rights on the name.
