I don't know, if anybody wrote before in MOG something about Machine Head, as the MOG search function doesn't work at the moment, but I would guess that this is the case. Anyway, if I'm remembering right, this was the last metal album, that I bought somewhen around '95 or '96 before I turned my back to metal.I just read that it was quite successful in Europe, but less in the U.S.. When I bought it hardly anyone around me knew Machine Head and I bought it because of a ve... MORE
I bought the new Machine Head album today. "The Blackening" is their best album in years. The first two albums were incredible, then they started slipping into suckdom with "The Burning Red". I had to get their new album after hearing "Now I Lay Thee Down". The whole album kicks ass, but I think my favorite track is "Wolves". Here's the video for "Now I Lay Thee Down":
Oakland based metal group Machine Head apparently were rejected by Disney when they set out to play the House of Blues venue in Anaheim, a Disney joint. The group had arrangements to play the venue on their current tour, but at the last minute were rejected. Apparently some Disney suits slammed the door in the band's face citing "violent imagery."

Can't remember if I've posted this clip before. But, who cares, it's such a great song. One of my, if not the, all time favourite songs by any band.

Robb Flynn often calls it a Lamentation On Death, but he understates his song writing talants so much, because it is so much more than that.

Yes, as the title suggests, Machine Head's newest studio release is quite stupendous. The vocals are very clear and great, the guitar work is amazing. The give and take between the guitarists in some of the solo are in perfect taste. If you like, go and grab yourself a copy.
Okay, you guys, I'm taking off to a concert right now. It's Lamb of God, Trivium, Machine Head, and Gojira. I'm going alone; my buddy bailed. I anticipate hospitalization or death.
They're back! Machine Head's newest release is definitely a force to be reckoned with in this, the age of the New Wave of American Heavy Metal. They've gone to their roots with this album, and it shows. Judging from the first song, 'Clenching the Fists of Dissent,' it's clear that they were thinking, 'let's make a heavy fucking record.' They have accomplished this. The guitar work can be a bit over the top at times, but, I've always been a fan of the solos that these guy... MORE
