Machine Head are one of the most prolific metal bands, constantly wowing crowds around the world with their work and live shows. Opening with ‘I Am Hell (Sonata In C#)’, the mosh pits and circle pits were almost instant, proving they have an amazingly strong fan base. Robb Flynn owns the stage with his presence, making him one of the most idolised men in modern metal. The atmosphere was incredible, the whole crowd absolutely loved their performance, especially when Machine Head played ‘Imperium’. The heavy riffs, strong vocals and insane drumming; Machine Head have it all, and from seeing them live it’s easy to see why they’re so highly regarded in the metal community.
