Their fifth album harkens back to the aggression of old, plus Machine Head have a new guitarist with a historic connection to the band

Empires rise and empires fall. All things must change, and all things must come to an end. But as they say, for every ending, there is also a beginning. And that is where Machine Head sits right now, one era coming to a close for the band, another just opening up, with the new one spearheaded by the band's fifth studio album, Through The Ashes Of Empires.

With a new album that harkens back to the aggression of old, plus a new guitarist with a historic connection to the band (Phil Demmel, who played with Flynn in the much-loved Bay Area thrash band Vio-lence), Machine Head is glancing back while still moving forward. Dave McClain puts it best: "We feel that if Through The Ashes Of Empires was our first album, it would do the same things that Burn My Eyes did, in terms of establishing Machine Head as one of the best metal bands out there." For this band, a new empire is rising.
