Given that they’re currently one of the biggest names in modern metal, it’s easy to forget that for a large part of their careers, Machine Head were kind of seen as jokes. With table scratches and semi-rapped lyrics, they fit in more with Limp Bizkit than Metallica. It just speaks volumes to what a good comeback can do. While I don’t mind their nu-metal period, Through the Ashes of Empires was miles better in quality. And even that was nothing compared to its follow up, The Blackening, now considered by most to be their best work, or their most recent effort Unto the Locust which is my personal favourite from them. Now, with the first song off their upcoming album, the question has to be asked; are Machine Head likely to top themselves again?
