About this ebook
Over 17 years and eight albums, heavy metal band Machine Head have sold millions of units, earned a Grammy nomination and won personal awards from Metal Hammer and other magazines. The story is a classic rise, fall and rise again scenario -- they exploded onto the metal scene in 1994, enjoyed a successful string of albums and then lost their way in the nu-metal era. Now they are in the middle of one of metal's most acclaimed comebacks.
Joel McIver has interviewed all the band-members several times and has a unique insight into their rollercoaster story, which includes alcohol addiction, inter-band brawls and therapy, sackings, near-splits and two decades of the heaviest music known to man, delivered all over the world.

As a fan I enjoyed reliving the history of the band collated into one place, with interviews from all sorts of sources. Gives a good feel for what the band is all about. Could have done with more of a narrative and exclusive insight injected by the author. Whilst following a chronology, it's clearly written by a fan and celebrates the band. Overall if you want to piece together a long history and revel in all that is awesome about Machine Head, if only to affirm your own fandom, this book does that.
