Machine Head is an American Groove Metal band hailing from Oakland, California. Formed in 1992 by ex-"Vio-Lence" member Robert Flynn, the band has faced numerous line-up changes and struggles with drug abuse throughout their career. Despite initial success with their first album, Machine Head received criticism for "selling out" on subsequent releases. After being dropped by Roadrunner Records in 2002, the band re-signed and enjoyed a stable line-up from 2003-2013. However, in 2018 both Dave McClain and Phil Demmel left the band after touring their album "Catharsis".

In 2019, to celebrate their 25th anniversary, Machine Head embarked on a tour where they performed their debut album "Burn My Eyes" in its entirety. Former members Logan Mader and Chris Kontos joined Robert Flynn and Jared Maceachern for this special occasion. The band also performed other MH songs during the tour with guitarist Wacław Kiełtyka (of Decapitated) and drummer Matt Alston (of Sanctorum).

Notably, Machine Head earned a Grammy Award nomination in 2007 for their album "The Blackening". The current members of the band include Robert Flynn on guitar and vocals since its inception, as well as Jared Maceachern on bass since 2013.
