Ghost Machine was an American rock band from Los Angeles, California, active in the mid-2000s.
Ghost Machine came together when vocalist Ivan Moody and guitarist John Stevens met at XM Radio.
Moody's band Motograter, previously signed to Elektra Records, were to perform live on-air, when John, an XM Radio producer impressed with Moody's vocals, thought he would be a good fit with the material he had written for his previous project.
The band released their self-titled debut album Ghost Machine on July 26, 2005, via their own label Black Blood Records.
On December 21, 2005, the band signed with independent label Corporate Punishment Records.
