Machine Head

Machine Head is a band that has carved its place in the annals of metal history with their blistering blend of heavy metal and thrash influences. Formed in 1991 in Oakland, California, the band was started by vocalist/guitarist Robb Flynn and bassist Adam Duce, who were later joined by lead guitarist Logan Mader and drummer Chris Kontos. Machine Head’s sound is characterized by aggressive riffs, complex guitar work, and a mix of clean and shouted vocals that often convey politically charged messages.

Over the years, Machine Head has undergone several lineup changes, but Flynn has remained a constant, leading the group to be one of the pioneering forces in the New Wave of American Heavy Metal movement. Their debut album, "Burn My Eyes," was a critical and commercial success, and they have since released a continuous stream of albums that showcase their evolving sound. Notably, albums like "The Blackening" and "Unto the Locust" have been praised for their intricate musicianship and epic compositions. Most recently, their album "ØF KINGDØM AND CRØWN" along with its bonus tracks demonstrates the band's relentless drive to push the boundaries of the metal genre, while "Burn My Eyes (Live-in-the-Studio 2019)" pays homage to the album that started it all, reaffirming their commitment to their roots and their fans. Machine Head's discography is a testament to their longevity and their ability to stay relevant in the ever-changing landscape of heavy music.
