Interested to hear Machine Heads new album dropped next week. Apparently it’s a return to the ‘nu-metal’ phase they went through with The Burning Red & Supercharger. TBR was still a killer album IMO. I thought their last album was their worst so not a surprise they’ve tried something different, as the last 3 were all very similar.
They have had their ups and down havent they.
First 2 albums amazing, next 2 utter shit, then they came storming back with ‘through the ashes of empires’ which is one of my favourite albums of all time. Everything since has been rubbish bar maybe Bloodstones and Diamonds (I absolutley hate the Blackening which I know goes against the grain but to me they are not a prog band and they tried to be one on that album). And the locust thing.....FMD
I still love the Slayer VHS/DVD from 1995 (Live Intrusion) where Tom and Kerry get Robb and Christ Kontos up to do a Venom cover. Was about the first time I had heard MH and I went out and got Burn My Eyes not long after and loved them.
The only song I have heard from the new album sounds like a Strapping Young Lad song, I saw Devin Townsend called them out on it too..........
