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
@@Lopez-my1bo I agree some what. I think Locust is a fucking great song, it's a shame it never took off. I think it's marginally better than anything Metallica, Megadeth etc have done in the last 20 years.
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
WSOU (Pirate Radio) NJ....plays this...and it just gets me going while I'm driving...I'm getting this album, great musicians! This is great quality! Thanks for posting!
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.
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 👌!
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 !!!
I love how I was listening to worship music when this came up...I felt the need to click it in spite of Athrax, only because Worship music is the first good album they have put out in a long time
Agree or disagree. like iron maiden and black Sabbath were an inspiration on bands like machine head. this band will definitely be a band people namecheck as an influence in ten years, best metal band to come out of the 90's.
I love the fact Machine Head keep evolving. I have being a fan since Burn My Eyes came out in 1994 and while those complained about the burning red and supercharger i took the blood, the sweet, the tears and bulldozer as classics. They played bulldozer at Wacken in 2009 and i didn't see too many unhappy faces considering every fan denied owning that album. Strange that. Ha Ha. Can't wait ti hear the new stuff live. |m|

Aaaaaah this is amazing! Machine Head's last couple of albums have been so good and this is awesome to, thank god they moved away from their earlier stuff to end up making metal this good! In Flames could learn a thing or two from the likes of Trivium, Soilwork and Machine Head when it comes to bettering themselves.
+Jeff Cosner Same thing happened to me a year ago... Singer drug me to a show in ATL a year ago and I was hooked. Yeah, they seriously went under my 90s radar... I was listening to Pantera/TOOL and pretty much nothing else
To everyone saying this is the same old Machine Head stuff, you obviously have no idea how a song is constructed or even have a basic knowledge of musical theory. This song is a total evolution from everything they've done. It's bigger, better and I think this album (if this song is anything to go by) will be the metal album of the decade.

SUFFER UNTO THE LOCUST!!! Damn what power does Flynn have in his voice!!!!
yeah - his growl is a given
The breakdown is still one of the nastiest going. Clean and powerful. We can never lose the breakdown people
This solo is what i call a masterpiece.
There is not any other single word in any language to name it.
This song/album has been out for 12 years it’s still 🔥, man time flys
Pure metal masterpiece! Lyrics is touching my soul.
Machine head does not get enough respect, these guys are awesome.
I agree
I remember listening to this allll the time, playing Diablo 2 at the same time. I missed those times and came back to visit the song lol
I don't know if it is a fitting word for a Machine Head song, but this song is absolutely beautiful.
in this case, it fits.
+OFFICIALGUSRICHLEN Beautiful Mourning ;)
absolutely!!!!!!!!
Bruteyful .... ok i show myself out lol XD
Goddam right its beautiful
The drummer is absolutely awesome.
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
It's up there with Davidian and Imperium that's for sure.
Idunno man. Darkness within was absolutely nuts.
Master of puppets? I don't think its exactly on that level but it's good
@@ESPSJ I'd say it's better than those songs
@@Lopez-my1bo I agree some what. I think Locust is a fucking great song, it's a shame it never took off. I think it's marginally better than anything Metallica, Megadeth etc have done in the last 20 years.
Today I learned I like Machine Head.
I KNOW RIGHT!!
Then it was a good day.
Machine head fucking slaps
Good man
See you in heaven buddy

--- 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
THE RAVEN 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I see your profile picture Goetia| dark magc music I love it
Absolutely beautiful I love lyrics
@@inrvaluxington8601 yeah it is really beautiful and im glad you like it.have a nice day
Nothing better than a song about toxic relationships, goldiggers and 304's muah *chef's kiss*
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
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!
Had this song on repeat for weeks, Counting down the days till the new album's out on tuesday \m/
God this comment just made me feel old as fuck lol
@james pittman right there with you, makes me feel ancient
If you live in the NY area, this song is great to fill in the gapless sounds of the locusts trip noise this year,
One of the greatest metal songs of all time
WSOU (Pirate Radio) NJ....plays this...and it just gets me going while I'm driving...I'm getting this album, great musicians! This is great quality! Thanks for posting!

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 👌!
Yes, those notes hit hard af.
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 !!!
I was in 6th or 7th grade when this dropped. I still slap it to this day.
I love how I was listening to worship music when this came up...I felt the need to click it in spite of Athrax, only because Worship music is the first good album they have put out in a long time
Underrated true metal legends.. Keep kicking our asses and keep the music alive brothers
The lead guitar (and tones) are simply astonishing!!
Amazing album start to finish. One of the best Metal has to offer!
Truly loving that drumming.
🎯
Now would be a really good time to listen to this since we have a huge locust swarm problem.
This album is just awesome
Pure epicness, how can people even dislike this? I don't see any possibility in ever disliking this :D
so far this is the the best song ive heard this year cant wait for the album.
Perfect song while playing Gears of War
Josh Andrews lmao that's exactly what um doing
Dethklok's "The Gears" is also outrageously appropriate for the other team.
How I miss GoW2. Best game of all time in my opinion
Perfect song while getting attacked by locusts
It’s good for timing the kids bath time too. LOL, I’m a loser, I know.
saw them open for seven dust for their burning red album. blew away seven dust and everyone's hearing. been a fan ever since.
Saw the open for Pantera. Same thing.
When that bridge and solo hits while you're driving! :)
New Machine Head always makes me smile, never disappointed after 17 years.
This is the kind of a song I know to expect from MH - a masterpiece, an angel of kick-ass. Thank you for this one.
The percussion is remarkably good... "over the top" 🥁🥁
Damn, I remember the day when Locust came out, feels so recent. I just broke my jaw realizing it was like 7 years ago.
Now 9 :o
Yes those were the days...
12.....
They never fail to remind us how much they love Iron Maiden...in all of their songs...kudos for that
Agree or disagree. like iron maiden and black Sabbath were an inspiration on bands like machine head. this band will definitely be a band people namecheck as an influence in ten years, best metal band to come out of the 90's.
*One of the best
Metallica, Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath
Unfortunately their new stuff is shit
Late 90s but I will agree
Nope. Avenged sevenfold
The intro is amazing. It's nostalgia to me.❤️
One of the best metal bands today!
Why was i not listening to this before? this grinds hard!
Machine Head, Children of Bodom, Lamb of God, At The Gates, In Flames, and Dark Tranquility are the best metal bands t come out of the 90's.
***** tool are tools
What about Pantera?
Totally forgot about them. They're awesome too.
Virgin Smasher Don't forget Tool, Megadeth, Venom...
LetalShade Venom and Megadeth came out of the 80's and I don't consider Tool metal. Tool's more Hard Rock with different time signatures.
I showed my friend this song (they hate metal & heavy rock etc) & they genuinely really liked it. 🤟🏻
0:00 - 7:43 = epic
mrdodoize totally
totes right
I liked this before I even listened to the song, I've been anticipating this moment: new Machine Head.
This...this is the song I go to when I need to remember why I love tom groove intros.
Holy shit. I listened to this song while i did 4 sets of squats. Free energy
Machine head gods of metal 🤘🤘🤘
Truth sir.
Took me listening to this on a real system to really appreciate it. I really didn't care for it till then. Now I can't get enough.
This is the first Machine Head song I've heard this is a really good fight impression
Got their album 3 days ago been listening non-stop
Other groove metal bands: headbanging and brutal riffs
Machine Head: headbanging riffs and melodic solo
Such amusing guitar duels and dialogues
I love the fact Machine Head keep evolving. I have being a fan since Burn My Eyes came out in 1994 and while those complained about the burning red and supercharger i took the blood, the sweet, the tears and bulldozer as classics. They played bulldozer at Wacken in 2009 and i didn't see too many unhappy faces considering every fan denied owning that album. Strange that. Ha Ha. Can't wait ti hear the new stuff live. |m|
Words can't discribe on how great this song is, is sure AMAZMENT! CAN"T STOP LISTING TO IT!!!!
Even Locusts love this song !
i think i must have listened to this song at least 3000 times since i downloaded it! :D
I love this song :)
I can never get enough of that intro!
Going back to this after hearing the new stuff really shows how far they have fallen.
Groove metal at its finest.
OMG I love the cover art!
Best way to kickoff a new album!
I'm not sure if anyone else gets the same feeling but I always get a master of puppets vibe on this track
me too.
Especially in the begginning
Yeah definitely but I see more of it on the soft bridge part before the solo.
Guitar harmonise at The middle part give me the most puppets vibes
I don't think it _sounds_ the same, but its *constructed* in a similar way.
Great music. 🤘
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
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)
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
You got that shit right Silverone43. They sound like no one else. Machine Head kick ass.
so epic i get chills
This album is going to be so worth the wait.
Masterpiece
Beautiful song. Stronger and stronger....

I think i listen to this song like 30 times already!
3:33 let it all go..
his voice is literally so beautiful at that part.
it legitimately makes me wanna cry
This just gets better EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO IT
Damn! I like it! Just recently been turned on to Machine Head by my bass player. I'm wondering to myself where was I and what the f**k was I doin' ?!
+Jeff Cosner Same thing happened to me a year ago... Singer drug me to a show in ATL a year ago and I was hooked. Yeah, they seriously went under my 90s radar... I was listening to Pantera/TOOL and pretty much nothing else

If Metallica had even bigger balls in the 80's, they would be Machine Head.
So can't wait to BUY this album!!!!
Thanks, Sleeping Dogs.
Was 16 hearing this, now 30 so says a lot n how much I love it lol😂😂
The Best of thrash is hère \M/
One of my favorites. Someone has good taste in music
Hey, these guys are good!
\m/
yves jacquot But...Machine Head aren't thrash metal. They're heavy/groove metal.
+yves “Troll'n'Roll” jacquot Don't ever call this crap Thrash. This is Melodic Metalcore/Deathcore
machine head is amazing
I guess I should clean my melted face off the ground, shouldn't I?
Suffer unto the Locust!... Suffer until this album releases!
That verse riff is just so fucking sick. 0656-0656-0656. Yes Rob you fuckin badass!
hell yeah I can't wait for the new stuff. The Blackening was pretty kick ass. Machine Head is the shit.
If the cops is not at ur housse, the sound is just not loud enouph
NOOOOO ... NOOOOOOO !!!!! it won't go louder !!!!
robin you gotta cranck it to 11 :P
