The year is 2006: Metallica's Master of Puppets is celebrating its birthday and also knows an American metal band from the Bay Area, the Machine Head is called. And the classic of 1986 for work on the new album @ venues, is a minor sensation. But until then it was thought that Metallica always the band with the longest pieces is.
But this is changing tremendously with The Blackening, the 6th studio album of Machine Head. At first hearing this 8 songs, one must first swallow: The opener Clenching the fist of dissent thunders with over 10 minutes of runtime out of the speakers. Respect !!! The song comes up with shouts and singing performances by Robb Flynn, who washed up. Interestingly, however, the middle part where the guitar just so fly. Another highlight of the song, the choir and the slow outro of the song. short break with Beatiful Mourning and then comes Asthtics of Hate, the thematically with the death of Dimebag Darell or with the reaction of a journalist on deals.
I could now describe each piece individually, but this is completely useless in this case. But it is clear that Machine Head have a monument with dieesem album. No wonder, finally, have made a classic a classic Messrs. Each Metallicafan should this have heard once, because it bears the clear handwriting of the best heavy metal band in the world.
Obey the Master of Puppets and listen to The Blackening. Bright Lights
