Biography
After establishing a secure line-up with Phil Demmel and Robb Flynn on guitars, Dean Dell on bass, Perry Strickland on drums and Sean Killian on vocals, they released a demo tape on Mechanic Records in 1986.
Soon after releasing their demo tape they entered the studio to record their debut album, called Eternal Nightmare, a seven track album released in 1988. Eternal Nightmare suffered in lack of promotion despite being well accepted by the thrash audience, and critics.
Together with the band Forbidden, they were labelled the new promises of Bay Area thrash and in 1989 they struck a deal with Megaforce Records to release their second album, titled Oppressing The Masses. Around that time, Perry Strickland substituted Tom Hunting of Exodus, yet only for a few shows, denying the possibility of staying permanently.
Finally in 1990, Oppressing The Masses (with legendary producer Alex Periales) was launched on Megaforce Records with better distribution and marketing than their debut, Eternal Nightmare. A video for the song “World in a World” has also been filmed.

Tbh personally I think that the t/t is the only really great song off the album, but damn, is it a great song or what. Best thrash metal song ever imo.

"Hmm, no. "Eternal Nightmare" is enough to prove that Machine Head is a very overrated band." Lol? What the hell does an album by one band have to do with the overratedness of a completely different band?

Hmm, no. "Eternal Nightmare" is enough to prove that Machine Head is a very overrated band. As far as fanboysm goes, the only Vio-Lence album I enjoy in its entirely is the one and only "Eternal Nightmare". Machine Head are one of the best bands to start with if one wants to get into mainstream <groove> thrash.

Lol, Vio-Lence fanboys are still mad that Machine Head exist and are more popular than da 'Lence ever was.

Because new school thrash&groove sucks, therefore Machine Head sucks.

"Why can't Machine Head sound like this?" Why go backwards instead of forwards?
