Best tracks they've done in years

Become the Firestorm is great, a true stadium anthemic belter

Machine Head ended after The Blackening. This is fake news.

I bet 10 bucks it’s sucks

The first song sounds more like Roadrunner United than Machine Head.

I do wonder what happened to Vogg and Matt Alston. Were they just touring members?

Having listened to the EP it does sound better than Catharsis and possibly even Bloodstone & Diamons. Still far behind their peak.

Arrows and Firestorm are both extremely good songs. Very surprised at how good this ep is considering how they shit the bed hard with Catharsis and those other extremely forgettable singles that they dropped last year.

who gives a fuck

Clearly you

Definitely sounds like machine head, but that’s probably a given considering they’ve recycled about 20 ideas across these three songs...

Album Rating: 1.5

whole band just sounds cooked and beat to death. they even have shitty breakdowns and clean vox now like they're trying to be metalcore.

Uh...they've always had clean vox and breakdowns?

but they've always sounded like machine head doing groove metal with those things, whereas this sounds like tired metalcore chugs and bored cleans. like they want to do 00's core but don't have any of the energy.

This band seriously needs to stop

Just disband already!

appreciate that they're a bit faster than their usual stuff but the production is super flat, serious downgrade from colin richardson to the The Flesh Prevails guy

AI-generated metal

MH have worked with other producers in the past several years. The info in the article is not completely correct.

Rob should have been fired after Catharsis

nvm, all love to MH

I actually kind of dig the first song. Not my kinda vocals but instrumentally it was cool. Haven't jammed any Machine Head since The Blackening. Used to love it when it dropped but it's been years since I revisited it

"Album Rating: 1.5"

Didn't know you could rate news posts lol

Songs are okay, but why do Robb's clean vocals always sounds so fucking weird? They have to be putting some kind of effect on it, and it doesn't sound good

Well... Better than the tracks on Catharsis, or Do Or Die....

Production needs a rawer edge. Those drums are so fucking scrubbed clean that they sound plastic.

This could pass as modern Trivium - take that as you will.

YouTube music was auto playing and I liked the song that was on. Was this band. My first Machinehead song. It was probably one of these but I have no idea. Seems like I should check

You should peep The Blackening

Will do Jeet

The Blackening and Burn My Eyes are essential listens
