IT’S BEEN A turbulent few years for Machine Head. 2018’s divisive Catharsis album alienated a chunk of their fanbase and led to the departure of drummer Dave McClain and guitarist Phil Demmell. It took a tour celebrating 25 years of Burn My Eyes to get the goodwill flowing again. With that debut’s groove metal blast still ringing in their ears, Robb Flynn and co re-entered the studio to make what the frontman is calling their heaviest album in years.
