Machine Head Retrospective (Part 7): The OTHER Metal Masterpiece! - RPC Jukebox #15

March 18, 2022 by Joshua Lozano in Music, RPC Jukebox

Previously on RPC Jukebox, Captain Kaye and Nick discussed Machine Head's biggest success with The Blackening and the praise it brought with it! And now... the OTHER masterpiece they worked on not long after: Unto the Locust!



How’s it going, fellow Renegades? It’s I, THE DIRECTOR, here to bring you guys another single from the setlist that talks all things Machine Head. And boy, are we in for some high praise, as the boys are back to continue RPC Jukebox’s trajectory through their whole career!

Now if you recall, last time we all got together to jam out, Captain Kaye and Nick talked about probably the biggest album of Machine Head’s career, as The Blackening cemented their uphill trajectory from alt-rockers fading into obscurity, to rock legends! That last album was proof that Through the Ashes of Empires wasn’t a fluke, but can they keep up the momentum they had been working so hard to maintain for the last two albums?

Well, I’d recommend taking a peep into this episode, which — funnily enough — is about two minutes longer than the album itself! If you can, pop it on and listen to the boys sing you their thoughts.

That’ll do it for this episode! Special thanks to The Streamin’ Demon for editing this episode! Keep a lit zippo raised in the air, as an encore of an episode’ll make its way to your stage very… very soon!

New decade. New rules. New Trivium, figuratively and literally. In Waves is a huge turning point in the band's catalog, one the band insisted was a necessary step to them continuing. Is the album a shower or a grower? Or would we not see what they were going for on later albums? Listen and find out.

Uh oh, Nick & Mike are entering controversial territory on this Jukebox episode. This time on The Trivium Retrospective, we look at the first Trivium album worth defending. The Crusade is a widely debated album. Is it just copying Metallica or is there legitimate merit to these songs? Or is it just people making shit up to hate on a band that got popular off a landmark classic album? Listen and find out.
