MachineHead - The Blackening

Except for "Imperium", I really didn't like MachineHead's previous album, "From the Ashes of Empires", but The Blackening definitely sees the foursome back in form delivering eight brutal tracks, including 2 that go about 10 minutes each! More of the old signature MachineHead guitar sounds are used as well, and this is their best overall work in some time.
CD Rating: ****
