PAGAN WAR MACHINE was born in the minds of two Los Angeles based Thrash Metal veterans, guitarist Jim Durkin (Dark Angel, Dreams of Damnation) and bassist Steve Gaines (Abattoir, Tactics, Bloodlust).
In September of 2002, they started recording some music together as a side project. Just a few weeks later, four songs were completed and distributed in the underground circles as their first demo. The response was so positive that they decided to convert the project into a full band, in order to perform the songs live. A Brazilian guitarist called Marcelo Lima (from the band Mastaba) and drummer Al Mendez (Dreams of Damnation) were recruited for the task.
In November, the band was officially announced at KNAC.com radio station show The Vault, during an interview with Durkin and Gaines. PAGAN WAR MACHINE is currently rehearsing for future live appearances.
