MACHINE HEAD

Debut album from 1994 by this influential Oakland-based American band and one of the defining Metal releases of the 1990s. Founded by Robb Flynn after leaving VIO-LENCE, MACHINE HEAD emerged with a powerful blend of Thrash Metal aggression, Groove Metal heaviness and themes inspired by the social unrest of the era. "Burn My Eyes" became an instant success and one of the most significant releases in Roadrunner Records' history.

"Burn My Eyes" is driven by crushing riffs, relentless grooves and an intensity rarely matched within modern Metal. Enhanced by Colin Richardson's powerful production and lyrics inspired by the social tensions affecting California in the early 1990s, the album helped redefine the sound of Metal during the decade and remains a cornerstone of the Groove Metal genre.
