War Machine - Kiss - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"War Machine" is a song by American rock band Kiss, released on November 10, 1982, as part of their album Creatures of the Night. It was penned by Gene Simmons with Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance, who wrote Bachman–Turner Overdrive's "Rock and Roll Hell," also included in the LP. The lyrics to "War Machine" use bellicose terminology to describe the narrator, an egotistical individual who will stop at nothing in his quest for power. Built around a repetitive riff Gene Simmons wrote on a cheap synthesizer, "War Machine" fuses hard rock with a driving, militaristic beat that mirrors the song's aggressive tone. The combination gives it an ominous, dark tone that aligns with the album's overall heavier approach, which was a departure from Kiss's previous pop-leaning efforts. Despite not being released as a promotional single, "War Machine" quickly became a favorite among Kiss's fanbase, often featuring in the band's live sets.
