Machine Head Albums- A Return To Metal Roots
If you’re a collector of heavy metal music tracks, you should consider getting Machine Head albums. The band behind these is widely credited as the pioneers of new wave heavy metal that has swept the US by storm. Unlike other forms of heavy metal, this one espoused by the group seemingly carries extreme brutality. Surprisingly, it took some time for the group to become popular in America.
The group’s founder is Robb Flynn. The musician was first affiliated with the group Vio-lence but left after he was denied the opportunity to start his own projects. Flynn felt the need to move on because he was not fulfilled with his first band. Flynn touched base with Adam Duce who became another member. Tony Constanza and Logan Mader came in to complete the line up in 1992.
The band inked a deal first with Roadrunner Records. Constanza however decided to leave even before they could complete recording of the first album. Chris Kontos was recruited and Burn My Eyes was completed in 1994. Roadrunner sold thousands of copies and the album is considered to be one of the music company’s best sellers. It was not however, so warmly received in the US.
It took some time for the follow up on the first Machine Head album to come out. It was only in 1997 that The More Things Change… came out. After this, the band participated in the Ozzfest. It was while the group was still touring that Mader took off. Ahrue Luster came in quickly to complete the tour commitment.
Taking a new member onboard coincided with a seeming direction change for the group. This became apparent in their third release, The Burning Red. The work featured elements of rap which came as a surprise to metal and goth clothing traditionalists. The change was not met positively mainly because critics thought the group was trying to improve their popularity by sounding more like other popular mainstream bands. The official word though is that the changes were more a result of a natural evolution that signified fewer style restrictions.
In 2001, Supercharged became the fourth release. It is the lowest selling of all the band’s albums. This may have been because of the continued use of rap. Others guess however that the terrorist actions of September 11 may also have been factors that affected sales. It was only a few weeks after the attack that the band released a video of their single Crashing Around You which was lifted from the album. It showed images of burning buildings. Understandably, this was an upsetting idea to present at this time. Luster left a few months after this and Phil Demmel was tapped to take his slot.
After the issues attached to their fourth release, the band recovered from bad publicity with the release of their fifth album Through the Ashes of Empires in 2003. This was followed by their sixth release, The Blackening in 2007. This took the 53rd slot in the Billboard 200, the highest for the group. The work was considered by many to be the group’s most outstanding despite the presence of songs that were ten minutes long.
The Blackening has had its fair share of negative criticisms. Overall though, it has redeemed itself on all counts. It is the one Machine Head album that has earned for the group a Grammy nomination which in turn pushed Machine Head merch sales.
