Machine Head

Machine Head - fierce, relevant and unstoppable!<br/>Very few bands make it to their 11th album. Even fewer do so with the same fire and fury that defined their early years. <br/>But Machine Head isn't just any band. For over three decades, the personification of determination, Founder/Vocalist/Guitarist Robb Flynn, has led Machine Head on an uncompromising path - one fueled by defiance, reinvention, and a relentless pursuit of evolution.<br/><br/>Now, with 'UNATØNED', they've once again sharpened their sound into its most direct and impactful form to date. Determined to challenge himself, Flynn set strict songwriting parameters for 'UNATØNED,' shorter, more focused songs with a decidedly American feel, unconventional key changes, and shifting structures that break expectations. That self-imposed restraint resulted in a lean, unrelenting album that captures Machine Head at their most potent. The album drips with melancholy melodies, and yet hammers with bludgeoning riffs, soars with anthemic sing-a-longs of love-lost and sadness, to bellowing power and undeniable confidence.<br/><br/>'UNATØNED' is Machine Head proving once again that longevity in metal isn't about comfort - it's about taking risks, standing firm in conviction, and refusing to stagnate. <br/>Eleven albums deep, they remain as fierce, relevant, and unstoppable as ever.

Amerikanska MACHINE HEAD har breddat soundet på den här plattan och flirtar med en bredare publik än vanligt. Att säga mainstream är att gå långt, men albumet har alla förutsättningar för att leverera än bättre än vanligt.
