Catharsis

Machine Head

A sprawling, seventy-four minute collision of groove metal, nu-metal revivalism, and blunt social commentary. Aggressive, melodic, and intentionally unrefined.

Relentless, confrontational energy with moments of exhausted tenderness.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring pivot to an acoustic-driven folk-punk stomp on Bastards
The rhythmic, rap-influenced cadence of the verses in Triple Beam
The massive, melodic payoff of the title track's soaring chorus

Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.

How does Catharsis sound next to the rest of Machine Head's catalogue?

High Energy-1.2σ

It runs notably cooler and more held-back than this artist's baseline.
