The group consists of three members: Silas Moldenhawer (drums), Jonas Kenton (synth, vocals) and Nikolaj Manuel Vonsild (vocals). Until February 2019, there was a fourth member, Simon Muschinsky (keys). Moldenhawer and Kenton are also known from their parallel project, Kenton Slash Demon. When Saints Go Machine brings a more soulful sound than Kenton Slash Demon's rhythmic electro-house music.{{cite web |url=http://gaffa.dk/artikel/43853 |title=Kenton Slash Demon - Den elektroniske musiks vakuum |trans-title=Kenton Slash Demon - The electronic music vacuum |work=Gaffa.dk |date=16 October 2010 |first=Simon |last=Christensen |language=Danish |access-date=12 April 2012 |archive-date=11 June 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110611145141/http://gaffa.dk/artikel/43853 |url-status=dead
