Biography

Oakland, San Francisco CA, United States (1992 – present)

Machine Head is an American metal band, formed in 1992 in Oakland, California. Founded by former Vio-Lence guitarist Robert Flynn and Adam Duce, and has only had 3 personnel changes since its inception. The current lineup of the band comprises of Robb Flynn (vocals, guitar), Adam Duce (bass), Phil Demmel (guitar), and Dave McClain (drums). Machine Head is one of the pioneering bands in the New Wave of American Heavy Metal.

The song Davidian of their debut album Burn My Eyes, features the lyrics “Let freedom ring / with a shotgun blast”. Subsequently the video was banned from MTV due to its release date being very soon after the Waco Siege which it was apparently describing. Robb Flynn has since said that the song was not written about the Waco Siege but added that line to get people thinking.

After their debut album Chris Kontos left to work with Testament and a stand in drummer (Chris Konstanza) was used for Machine Head’s Donington slot in 1995. After this, the drumming services of Dave McClain were acquired. They then released the follow-up album, The More Things Change in 1997, after which guitarist Logan Mader unexpectedly left in the spring of 1998. He was then replaced by Ahrue Luster (now of Ill Niño) who worked with the band on the third album The Burning Red (1999).

    The moment you put your music on a CD/Vinyl and start selling it, your music becomes commercial and you're a sellout. Quit acting as if your favorite bands aren't sellouts either, posers.

    Also I find it funny that Machine Head was called "sell-out" when they wrote "Supercharger" and "Burning Red" when in fact they've sold out from the beginning. Also, what did everyone expect from a group of people who have no day jobs besides music?

    I agree with corpsetastic. The Battery cover is great! Otherwise, MoreBRAAAINS is right in his first sentence.

    Bulldozer is probably my favourite Machine Head song. Bulldozer crushes all. Nuff said

    The More Things Change is under rated as fuck. \/ Battery is a great cover, Fucking Hostile is decent and Hallowed Be Thy Name is amazing, Robb ain't gonna sing in Bruce's range is he?

    The last 2, and the debut are their best albums. [3] For once I actually agree with one of these.

    The last 2, and the debut are their best albums [2]. Although I include Through The Ashes Empires.

    I've just seen the audition by the one handed bass player who brought MH to tears. He was amazing, but it's a shame he didn't sing otherwise I'm sure he would have been considered.

    Okay. Complete Machine Head new-fag here. Decided to go through their stuff, need new thrashy/groovy stuff for summer training. Suggest some of their best work. (No nu-metal albums)

    Machine Head sounds like thrash to me. Especially with the early material. They might have some groove influences and to me Lamb Of God and Chimaira are the closest groove metal bands to MH. Also the track Supercharger is fucking awesome. The album is pretty good too. I actually think Supercharger is a bit better than the Burning Red.
