Machine Head – ‘Øf Kingdøm and Crøwn’ Digipak

Undisputed masters of murderous riffs, pugnacious grooves, and ferocious hooks since 1991, Machine Head is long established as one of the most influential and incendiary bands in the metal world.

From genre-expanding triumphs like 1994’s debut, ‘Burn My Eyes,’ 1999’s ‘The Burning Red’ to the planet-conquering might think of 2007’s ‘The Blackening,’ to the new life injected in 2014’s ‘Bloodstone and Diamonds,’ Machine Head have carved a singular path across the globe for over three decades now with no end in sight.

In 2022, Machine Head are back with their most crushing and complete album yet. ‘Øf Kingdøm And Crøwn’ is an hour-long conceptual monolith, rich in color and dynamics but hell-bent on destruction.

Set in a futuristic wasteland where the sky is always crimson red, ‘Øf Kingdøm And Crøwn’ tells the tale of two characters, both faced with incalculable trauma, whose stories become bloodily entwined as this deep, dark record progresses.

A perennially vital force in heavy music, Machine Head has continued its exhilarating evolution while never losing the fierce spirit of its old school, underground roots.
