Japanese two disc pressing (CD + NTSC/Region 2 DVD) of the 2007 album from the West Coast Metal mongers features two bonus tracks including a cover of Metallica's 'Battery' plus a bonus DVD that features music videos and 'behind the scenes' footage. The Blackening marks Machine Head's strong return to the forefront of the Metal world. A heavy, technical album that, while rooted in '90s Metal, pushes the boundaries of hard music well into the future with songs like "Aesthetics of Hate" and "Halo." While still staying rooted, Machine Head introduces some of it's most beautiful melodies and choruses. Roadrunner.
