Machine Head - Locust

Today I learned I like Machine Head.

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

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

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

--- 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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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 👌

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

Perfect song while playing Gears of War

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.

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 !!!

The drummer is absolutely awesome.

One of the greatest metal songs of all time
