Formed in Oakland, California in 1991, Machine Head have forged a formidable reputation and huge global fan base by never surrendering their artistic liberty or compromising their belief in the power of heaviness. From ground-breaking triumphs like 1999’s The Burning Red to the planet-conquering might of 2007’s The Blackening, which saw the band traverse the globe several times as headliners and as main support to both Metallica and Slipknot, Machine Head have remained at the forefront of heavy music with ease. Meanwhile, their reputation as one of metal’s most potent and unifying live bands has long been beyond dispute.

2018 promises to be their biggest and best year yet, starting with the release of long-awaited ninth album Catharsis. Offering vast quantities of style and substance, Catharsis is a 75-minute, 15-track eruption of pain and fury, hope and joy, melody and savagery. By far the most hard-hitting album Machine Head have ever made, both musically and lyrically, it sustains their long tradition of writing songs about the real world and the authentic, heartfelt emotions that define the human condition.
