Machine Head’s Comeback-o-rama

Machine Head have always been a love or hate thing for me. Anyone who knows anything about 90’s metal realises that Machine Head’s debut release “Burn My Eyes” is metal masterpiece, helping to establish America as a breeding ground for refreshing metal originality. However, what did they do? Threw it all away just to cash in on the nu metal fad. Since their first phenomenal release Machine Head have become in increasingly worse, and despite the fact that Machine Head albums were still selling well in 2002, they decided to split, disillusioned with their musical direction and integrity. Cause they were shit. Then they realised that playing music would be heaps easier than working. So they reformed and remembered how metal is supposed to go. “Through The Ashes Of Empires” was one of my personal favourite metal albums of 2003 and totally from left field because like nearly everyone else I thought they were stuck in mediocre land. However the ripped out a kickass album and are about to release one that could be even better. “The Blackening” (which I have heard due to it being leaked about 2 weeks ago) is even more interesting than TTAOE as it sees Machine Head exploring the type of hyper technical extreme metyal they should have pursued from the start. Well done Machine Head you’ve one me back. I will buy this album.
