Machine Head – Øf Kingdøm And Crøwn Ltd. (2xGul Vinyl)

Since 1991, MACHINE HEAD have been undisputed masters of murderous riffs, gritty grooves and ferocious hooks, and have long established themselves as one of the most influential and fiery bands in the metal world.

From genre-bending triumphs like 1994’s debut “Burn My Eyes,” 1999’s “The Burning Red,” to 2007’s world-conquering “The Blackening,” to 2014’s “Bloodstone and Diamonds,” which breathed new life into the band, MACHINE HEAD has blazed a unique trail across the globe for over three decades, with no end in sight. Whether it’s three-hour marathon live performances, millions of albums sold worldwide, or awards big and small, there aren’t many “distractions” clouding guitarist/vocalist/founder Robb Flynn’s vision these days.

In 2022 MACHINE HEAD announce their return with their most crashing and complete album to date. “ØF KINGDØM AND CRØWN” is an hour-long conceptual monolith, rich in color and dynamics, but bent on destruction. Set in a futuristic wasteland where the sky is always crimson, “ØF KINGDØM AND CRØWN” tells the story of two characters, both facing unpredictable trauma, whose stories become bloodily intertwined throughout the album.
