6th album from 2007 by this influential American band led by Robb Flynn (ex-VIO-LENCE) and one of the most acclaimed releases of its entire career. Released after "Through the Ashes of Empires", "The Blackening" marked a remarkable creative resurgence for MACHINE HEAD, restoring the band's status among Metal's elite and earning recognition as one of its finest achievements.
Spanning more than an hour, the album masterfully combines Thrash Metal, Groove Metal and modern Heavy Metal with an unusually ambitious songwriting approach. Memorable riffs, epic arrangements, extended instrumental passages and outstanding performances throughout make "The Blackening" a monumental work that successfully merged the aggression of the band's early years with a new level of artistic maturity. A true Metal classic of the 21st century.
Recommended for fans of: PANTERA, LAMB OF GOD, EXHORDER, TESTAMENT.
