Oakland, CA, the ultimate urban reality. A place where sanity constantly rides the edge as each day comes to pass. Some life comes into being, some life departs from the “other city by the bay’ as surely as the sun rises and sets upon its concrete and asphalt. Some wander aimlessly without hope, others lash out and grasp hard with the sole intent of survival. Amongst the latter is Machine Head, whose debut album Burn My Eyes is a bold statement from a band that is determined to overcome at any cost.

The 90’s have seen the rise of a new form of powerful, extreme music which bleeds into “alternative” styles as much as it does into “metal” styles. The bands and market are different, and so is the music and the lyrics, hut the aggression and power remain. Formed in Oakland in June ‘92, Machine Head is leading this new pack of up and coming bands that are taking extreme to a new level. Simply put Machine Head is the definition of heavy for the 90’s and beyond.

Machine Heads way of doing things in general, is extreme. Steamrolling groove and unbridled rage meet the street in an ugly, head-on collision. The result: an angry, violent, emotion-filled sound straight from the heart. Their live show is as powerful and intense as any you have ever seen, and even those unfortunate lightweights that accidentally find themselves at a Machine Head show can’t help but to he moved by the sheer energy radiating from the stage. The band’s performance is so strong. ripping and ferocious that no one can just stand idly by and not he affected.

The rhythm section is prominent and pronounced. Bassist Adam Duce and drummer Chris Kontos both have a flair for pounding and their thundering lays the foundation for the groove-oriented riffs of Logan Mader and Robb Flynn. This is all topped off by Flynn’s vocals, dripping with hatred one moment, melodic the next.

The final component at the heart of the Machine Head are the lyrics. They too are fully in your face and powerful, even on their own. Flynn delivers them with an aggressive brutality that sends them crushing home. “They are reflections about the self and some of my personal experiences, good and had,” says Flynn. “The ultimate goal is to use my words as a means to instill some visual impressions and to open some eyes. People tend to freak over my lyrics but I’m actually trying to create something positive from a very negative environment.”

“The inner cities of America cry out and bleed, continues Flynn “and most of suburbia neither hears nor sees this, other than as a blip in their morning paper or as a flash on their TV screen.

Many people choose to look out their front windows and see the sun shining, the birds singing and the flowers blooming, while at the same time, out their back windows, in their own backyards, another world exists - a world that is cold and dark, where survival is a light from each clay to the next.

“One needs to see and address both of these worlds,” adds Duce. “Machine Head wants people to know that closing the back drapes will not make things change or go away, and that it’s only a matter of time before they spill over into “the front yard” and then it may well be too late.”

Concludes Kontos, “This band is a unit - a machine. Each part of the machine acts mechanically, and with fierce precision, functioning to send the whole grinding forth regardless of who or what is in its path. To Machine Head, power is a motivator and it blatantly shows in our attitude towards every aspect of our art and our performance.’
