(! And yes Machine Head will soon celebrate his 15 year career) No need to present this Californian group who over the years has gone through the biggest metal movement power metal, neo-metal and many more ... Some bad languages say they have lost with the albums "The Burning Red" and "supercharger" (personnaly I like those albums but ... all the fashion right judgment) .The new album has arrived, as good fan of heavy music I purchased the day of his first sorti.Tout "the blackening" is in the same vein as "through the ashes of empire", the 9 new titles, yes, but only nine titles believe me they are all well furnished, very good riff metal as we love with the grand ROBB FLYNN frontline accompanied by Phil DEMMEL and ADAM DUCE always faithful to his bass player, great guitar solos punctuate the album executed wonderfully by our first two. But where MACHINE HEAD stands out from others is of course thanks to DAVE Mc CLAIN, who takes his drumming group in massive metal soared, double-pedal beautifully mastered. This album is dedicated to all fans of Machine Head right from the beginning but also to all those who have left the group along the way. And thank you to them for giving us so much pleasure to listen to.
