Featuring ex-Vio-lence guitarist Robb Flynn fronting the band and contributing personal and politically charged lyrics with ri!s a-plenty, Machine Head’s 1994 debut Burn My Eyes was a massive hit especially in Europe and led to the band joining Slayer on tour and headlining their own soon thereafter. There’s a reason this was the best-selling record on the Roadrunner label till Slipknot’s first; the “Let freedom ring with a shotgun blast” refrain to the album-opening song “Davidian” (inspired by the 1993 Waco Siege) is brilliant and chilling, full of the rage that led to that bloody day with menacing music to match.
The rest of the record doesn’t let up, either…this is one thundering, furious, glorious assault of an album, to which we’ve added five bonus demo tracks on this remastered and expanded 2-LP version. Blood with charred splatter pressing inside a gatefold jacket.
