Machine Head established themselves as one of the heaviest bands on the ’90s alternative metal scene with their aggressive, streetwise mix of various forms of “hard music” (heavy metal, hardcore, etc.), but they distinguished themselves from similar bands with catchier riffs and a better grasp of dynamics. Something has always been unsettling about Machine Head’s music… the best possible explanation is its brutal honesty and hard-hitting emotionally-charged nature. Machine Head’s live show is the stuff of legends, striking a primal resounding chord with the kids, their popularity having been built, brick-by-brick on the touring groundwork they have laid over the years.
