Machine Head, uno de los nombres más icónicos en la historia del heavy metal, se formó en la vibrante escena musical de Oakland, California, en 1991. El grupo fue una creación del carismático líder Robb Flynn, quien había sido parte de la prolífica banda de thrash metal Vio-lence. Con una visión clara y una determinación inquebrantable, Flynn reunió a un talentoso grupo de músicos que compartirían su pasión por el metal. Junto a él estaban el guitarrista Logan Mader, el bajista Adam Duce, y el baterista Tony Costanza, aunque este último fue reemplazado rápidamente por Chris Kontos, formando así la primera alineación definitiva de Machine Head.
Machine Head irrumpió en la escena con su álbum debut "Burn My Eyes" en 1994, bajo el sello Roadrunner Records. Este disco no solo ganó reconocimiento inmediato, sino que también estableció un nuevo estándar en el mundo del metal. Con pistas poderosas como “Davidian” y “Old,” el álbum despliega una cruda intensidad que reflejaba las dificultades sociales y personales de la época. “Burn My Eyes” no solo fue un éxito comercial, sino que recibió elogios de la crítica, catapultando a Machine Head al estatus de banda de culto.
Con cada álbum sucesivo, Machine Head exploró nuevas facetas de su sonido. En 1997, lanzaron "The More Things Change...", un disco que, aunque mantenía la agresividad de su debut, mostraba una producción más refinada y una complejidad lírica mayor. Esto fue

Oh your sweet little lies
Oh your sweet little lies
I can hear when I hold you close to me
When I look in your eyes
I see thru your disguise
What I see is an only lonely void
And I can see hell in your eyes
Cause you're drowning inside
Those fake tears that you cried
As I claw my way from your tragedy
Emptiness is your bride
Arrogance is your pride
I won't drown in another's misery
And you won't pull me down to die
No!
Stuck in this prision with a brother I loved
Stuck in this prision with the memories of
Another time, when music's all that we had
Bonded by anger and addictions, so glad
Always together but no words are spoken
This is the sound of a friendship broken
Trapped and climbing up the walls
How the fuck do I get out of these pitfalls?
And you say that life is just a game and
Everyone who plays is just a pawn
And shame on me it went so long
How could I've been so wrong?
I've forever gone, colder
If life is just a game then
Game over
Dreaming of choking someone I used to know
Strangling the negativity that they sow
Resent has now become the face in the mask
That plays upon a bitter two-man cast
Go find somebody else to blame your problems
Trying to fuck me, because you can't solve them
Stop! You never gave a shit
We almost fucking quit, because how much you hated it
And you say that life is just a game and
Everyone who plays is just a pawn
And shame on me it went so long
How could I've been so wrong?
I've forever gone, colder
If life is just a game then
Game over
For as long as you're alive
I'll curse your worthless name
For as long as you're alive
I'll curse your worthless name
On the day
On the day of your demise
Unburied and left for the flies
Believe me that I will piss upon your grave
Forgiveness may greet me on someday
But I'll never forget all this pain
Let there be no mistake
This is not a game!
Oh your sweet little lies
Oh your sweet little lies
I can hear when I hold you close to me
When I look in your eyes
I see thru your disguise
What I see is an only lonely void
And I can see hell in your eyes
Cause you're drowning inside
Those fake tears that you cried
As I claw my way from your tragedy
Emptiness is your bride
Arrogance is your pride
I won't drown in another's misery
Forever this friendship has died
No!
And you say that life is just a game and
Everyone who plays is just a pawn
And shame on me it went so long
How could I've been so wrong?
I've forever gone, colder
If life is just a game then
Game over
Game over
