Machine Head - Locust

[@glennblackburn3506]

The breakdown is still one of the nastiest going. Clean and powerful. We can never lose the breakdown people

[@gaelcross]

This solo is what i call a masterpiece. There is not any other single word in any language to name it.

[@DavidianFTW]

SUFFER UNTO THE LOCUST!!! Damn what power does Flynn have in his voice!!!!

[@extraries1989]

yeah - his growl is a given

[@DarKKnightt07]

Machine head does not get enough respect, these guys are awesome.

[@nrurquha]

I agree

[@OFFICIALGUSRICHLEN]

I don't know if it is a fitting word for a Machine Head song, but this song is absolutely beautiful.

[@shreyassarangi6106]

in this case, it fits.

[@SkellingtonWheel]

+OFFICIALGUSRICHLEN Beautiful Mourning ;)

[@nickmaatjes5611]

absolutely!!!!!!!!

[@cloudymoon2494]

Bruteyful .... ok i show myself out lol XD

[@aaronalvarado1035]

Goddam right its beautiful

[@D-Man_Jam]

Today I learned I like Machine Head.

[@fishfinger1699]

I KNOW RIGHT!!

[@Warrior_Stoicist]

Then it was a good day.

[@bretthrower2940]

Machine head fucking slaps

[@mintislad3900]

Good man

[@mintislad3900]

See you in heaven buddy

[@KarurdaK]

This song/album has been out for 12 years it’s still 🔥, man time flys

[@Paul_884]

I still think this the best song Machine Head came up with.. Great constructed, love the clean parts, solos. I'd say it's really big like Master of Puppets

[@ESPSJ]

It's up there with Davidian and Imperium that's for sure.

[@MCshadr217]

Idunno man. Darkness within was absolutely nuts.

[@eazye519]

Master of puppets? I don't think its exactly on that level but it's good

[@Lopez-my1bo]

@@ESPSJ I'd say it's better than those songs

[@ESPSJ]

@@Lopez-my1bo I agree some what. I think Locust is a fucking great song, it's a shame it never took off. I think it's marginally better than anything Metallica, Megadeth etc have done in the last 20 years.

[@psychoakustic]

Pure metal masterpiece! Lyrics is touching my soul.

[@THE.RAVEN-]

--- lyrics --- Sweet caress Grazes my skin It's loveless These hooks sink in Behind an angel's disguise An insect preys Mandibles cut like a knife The reckoning Forming clouds Their shadow shrouds Louder the tattered wings they sound Descending down They come The swarm of locusts Skies above Converge to choke us Feast of souls Consume the harvest Young and old Suffer unto the locust Surrender These veins are bled Devoured Nothing sacred Strings pull the marionettes See how they dance Upon the winds that beget Our pestilence Forming clouds Their shadow shrouds Louder the tattered wings they sound Descending down Down they come The swarm of locusts Skies above Converge to choke us Feast of souls Consume the harvest Young and old Suffer unto the locust Bleeding from my eyes This plague is sent to erase us Bleeding from inside These vermin can't infiltrate us Faith appears and holds a candle Hark the angels sing Forming clouds Their shadow shrouds Louder the tattered wings they sound Tear the veil The lies derail Purity ever will prevail Trumpets sound The shattered crown Halos of truth now they surround The charade comes down Down they come The swarm of locusts Skies above Converge to choke us Feast of souls Consume the harvest Young and old Suffer unto the locust

[@inrvaluxington8601]

Absolutely beautiful I love lyrics

[@THE.RAVEN-]

@@inrvaluxington8601 yeah it is really beautiful and im glad you like it.have a nice day

[@Kgula]

Nothing better than a song about toxic relationships, goldiggers and 304's muah *chef's kiss*

[@RattleheadMoney95]

The guitarwork in this song is just perfect, drums are incredible, bass awesome and Robb Flynn's vocals are so versatile! He can swtich from heavy to soft effortlessly; Machine Head deserve so much more recognition and respect than they get.

[@burakcglynn]

I remember listening to this allll the time, playing Diablo 2 at the same time. I missed those times and came back to visit the song lol

[@souljalord]

you know the album mix of this track is gonna be fucking savage i love how machine head albums are all so different, but you can instantly tell its them. so stoked for the album

[@IAMxDAMAGEx]

An epic masterpiece..... perfectly orchestrated, beautiful in its brutality this song never gets old. A timeless metal treasure!

[@thenerdofthenorth8205]

Now, I love Davidian. Especially the ending: one of the first proper breakdowns in metal! But the headbangin capabilities at 6:35 is just pure groove metal glory! Just 👌!

[@rangersammy]

Yes, those notes hit hard af.

[@pleasedontsue]

Words cannot describe how excited I am for this upcoming album!

[@laeldestan1536]

The drummer is absolutely awesome.

[@masonyuzwa8717]

The guitiar solo and chorus is absolutely amazing !! I always liked this band and most of their songs/albums !! This was their best, hands down tbh !!!

[@BSTORM39]

Members of Machine Head, I want you to know that you are my absolute favourite band that has ever existed. You have brought me through the lowest points in my life and never cease to amaze me with your songwriting skills and amazing musical skill. You are my greatest inspiration and I will always be a loyal fan. I had to listen to this song 17 times to understand what I was hearing, and I realized that this is an unfamiliar sound, an amazing aound. You invented a new style and it is amazing.

[@Xhai221]

Had this song on repeat for weeks, Counting down the days till the new album's out on tuesday \m/

[@jamespittmann5047]

God this comment just made me feel old as fuck lol

[@Eg.601]

@james pittman right there with you, makes me feel ancient

[@JustinBennettRR]

Underrated true metal legends.. Keep kicking our asses and keep the music alive brothers

[@JPNJ238]

WSOU (Pirate Radio) NJ....plays this...and it just gets me going while I'm driving...I'm getting this album, great musicians! This is great quality! Thanks for posting!

[@kvothethekingkiller4652]

One of the greatest metal songs of all time

[@abbybonilla4511]

I was in 6th or 7th grade when this dropped. I still slap it to this day.

[@kingkeys05]

Amazing album start to finish. One of the best Metal has to offer!

[@guitar7901]

I love how I was listening to worship music when this came up...I felt the need to click it in spite of Athrax, only because Worship music is the first good album they have put out in a long time

[@PianoEdward]

Pure epicness, how can people even dislike this? I don't see any possibility in ever disliking this :D

[@Jamesullivan]

If you live in the NY area, this song is great to fill in the gapless sounds of the locusts trip noise this year,

[@ILLRICARDO]

machine head is like old fine wine, the older they get the better they sound!!!

[@cagdas_demir_albayrak]

Now would be a really good time to listen to this since we have a huge locust swarm problem.

[@mitchellgarner8403]

saw them open for seven dust for their burning red album. blew away seven dust and everyone's hearing. been a fan ever since.

[@rangersammy]

Saw the open for Pantera. Same thing.

[@joshuaandrews8622]

Perfect song while playing Gears of War

[@Not-Hayabusa]

Josh Andrews lmao that's exactly what um doing

[@tristangillis7365]

Dethklok's "The Gears" is also outrageously appropriate for the other team.

[@12978fghdiu23gewsduf]

How I miss GoW2. Best game of all time in my opinion

[@Tariqali-bj5hm]

Perfect song while getting attacked by locusts

[@hmw_kamikaze3885]

It’s good for timing the kids bath time too. LOL, I’m a loser, I know.

[@scottyj.2561]

The lead guitar (and tones) are simply astonishing!!

[@robertpeach8129]

When that bridge and solo hits while you're driving! :)

[@matt95126]

so far this is the the best song ive heard this year cant wait for the album.

[@madfinnishgamer38]

This is the kind of a song I know to expect from MH - a masterpiece, an angel of kick-ass. Thank you for this one.

[@TrephineArtist]

New Machine Head always makes me smile, never disappointed after 17 years.

[@vclipaddict]

Machine Head, Children of Bodom, Lamb of God, At The Gates, In Flames, and Dark Tranquility are the best metal bands t come out of the 90's.

[@TheVik97]

***** tool are tools

[@AndyFordAAF]

What about Pantera?

[@vclipaddict]

Totally forgot about them. They're awesome too.

[@FPSSpartan666]

Virgin Smasher Don't forget Tool, Megadeth, Venom...

[@vclipaddict]

LetalShade Venom and Megadeth came out of the 80's and I don't consider Tool metal. Tool's more Hard Rock with different time signatures.

[@lexigold5346]

The intro is amazing. It's nostalgia to me.❤️

[@Eeklectic]

This...this is the song I go to when I need to remember why I love tom groove intros.

[@celshante1769]

Why was i not listening to this before? this grinds hard!

[@timivrtaric4490]

Damn, I remember the day when Locust came out, feels so recent. I just broke my jaw realizing it was like 7 years ago.

[@Tikitackfouls]

Now 9 :o

[@locust7777]

Yes those were the days...

[@Verallz]

12.....

[@Tim_Kap]

They never fail to remind us how much they love Iron Maiden...in all of their songs...kudos for that

[@Dentomusic]

One of the best metal bands today!

[@katyalacrua6793]

Truly loving that drumming.

I liked this before I even listened to the song, I've been anticipating this moment: new Machine Head.

[@henrynoone3595]

Holy shit. I listened to this song while i did 4 sets of squats. Free energy

[@ShermPWilliams]

This album is just awesome

[@tinnedpeachsyrup]

Other groove metal bands: headbanging and brutal riffs Machine Head: headbanging riffs and melodic solo

[@scottyjones4428]

The percussion is remarkably good... "over the top" 🥁🥁

[@predatorx6587]

Machine head gods of metal 🤘🤘🤘

[@jamesmccarty9762]

Truth sir.

[@arembry1]

Took me listening to this on a real system to really appreciate it. I really didn't care for it till then. Now I can't get enough.

[@KattAD]

Agree or disagree. like iron maiden and black Sabbath were an inspiration on bands like machine head. this band will definitely be a band people namecheck as an influence in ten years, best metal band to come out of the 90's.

[@shreyassarangi6106]

*One of the best

[@FernandoCallet]

Metallica, Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath

[@Fluffyolphert]

Unfortunately their new stuff is shit

[@Casidbraot5230lmj]

Late 90s but I will agree

[@LuisLopez-xo8rp]

Nope. Avenged sevenfold

[@barneybrownboy]

This album is going to be so worth the wait.

[@daedralord274]

This is the first Machine Head song I've heard this is a really good fight impression

[@Sophs_XD]

Was 16 hearing this, now 30 so says a lot n how much I love it lol😂😂

[@philipkeaveney777]

I love the fact Machine Head keep evolving. I have being a fan since Burn My Eyes came out in 1994 and while those complained about the burning red and supercharger i took the blood, the sweet, the tears and bulldozer as classics. They played bulldozer at Wacken in 2009 and i didn't see too many unhappy faces considering every fan denied owning that album. Strange that. Ha Ha. Can't wait ti hear the new stuff live. |m|

[@AcDcAddict1993]

i think i must have listened to this song at least 3000 times since i downloaded it! :D

[@jellybeanfactory21]

hell yeah I can't wait for the new stuff. The Blackening was pretty kick ass. Machine Head is the shit.

[@DescendingBlade]

Going back to this after hearing the new stuff really shows how far they have fallen.

[@vallarium_]

I can never get enough of that intro!

[@therealmaggot]

If Metallica had even bigger balls in the 80's, they would be Machine Head.

[@Das0s]

This just gets better EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO IT

so epic i get chills

I showed my friend this song (they hate metal & heavy rock etc) & they genuinely really liked it. 🤟🏻

[@rolypoly92]

Aaaaaah this is amazing! Machine Head's last couple of albums have been so good and this is awesome to, thank god they moved away from their earlier stuff to end up making metal this good! In Flames could learn a thing or two from the likes of Trivium, Soilwork and Machine Head when it comes to bettering themselves.

[@Divineentity6612]

Great music. 🤘

[@mitchgilbert93]

I guess I should clean my melted face off the ground, shouldn't I?

oh shiiit, saving this for later, at work now and this really needs to be blasted at 11 :D

[@adebayoakinfenwa4737]

I'm not sure if anyone else gets the same feeling but I always get a master of puppets vibe on this track

[@shreyassarangi6106]

me too.

[@swegmcsweg4604]

Especially in the begginning

[@adebayoakinfenwa4737]

Yeah definitely but I see more of it on the soft bridge part before the solo.

[@jackslayers]

Guitar harmonise at The middle part give me the most puppets vibes

[@AlexBaillie]

I don't think it _sounds_ the same, but its *constructed* in a similar way.

[@TriviumJosh]

Thankyou in waves for suggesting I listen to this video
