New Machine Head lineup

2019-09-29 by DatsNotDaMetulz | 18 Comments
This weekend, a year on from the departure of Phil Demmel and Dave McClain, Machine Head have announced the new guitarist and drummer that will perform on the second set of their upcoming Burn My Eyes anniversary tour.

While early members Chris Kontos and Logan Mader will perform during the BME set, the second set, consisting of newer material, will see guitarist Wacław "Vogg" Kiełtyka of Decapitated, and drummer Matt Alston of Devilment take the stage. The addition of two members known for their involvement in extreme metal has led to speculation on the new direction of the band.

Honestly after Catharsis I'd really rather they burn all their merch and pretend they broke up after Bloodstone & Diamonds. That album was an adult temper tantrum in musical form

for me, this band has never really been that great. they were cringy even in the 90's on albums like Burning Red.

'Catharsis' is in the top 5 worst albums of the past decade, easily.

Yeah I mean Robb Flynn has been all over the map quality wise. Pretty good on burn my eyes and the blackening. Pretty good in his previous thrash life. 3 of the worst albums of all time with the burning red, supercharger, and catharsis. And a couple forgettable ones like whatever their second album was called or the couple of albums after the blackening. Their two biggest problems have been always chasing after trends and Robb having the emotional maturity of a small child

if vogg gets to write stuff like demmel did there is some potential left here i think, depends if they keep him for more than just touring which seems a bit ambiguous atm

Will see them playing the whole "Burn My Eyes" album on October 24th. After that, they can f*ck off

Rob should do his own things under another band name at this point.

"The addition of two members known for their involvement in extreme metal has led to speculation on the new direction of the band."

I am quite positive Machine Head will be terrible in 2019 and beyond. While Robb wears his pussy hat and cries incessantly on his youtube channel.

Maybe if vogg lets him steal some riffs their next album could be dec at least.

Well Matt Alston is from a gothic/melodeath background so not a style particularly known for its groove.

"I thought they broke up."

When the two most recent former members announced they were leaving, the band announced that they were doing a "farewell tour." Most people (rightfully) thought that the band meant they were breaking up, but they were just saying farewell to the two members who were leaving.

Well I also thought they broke up.. Vogg is an interesting and unexpected addition for sure.

Are any bands more erratic with quality of their material? Maybe they're due.

Robb would have to regain his sanity to put out a good album. It ain’t happening no matter what mercenaries he get so
