UNATONED

Review

By Liam Hughes | 08/04/2026

UNATØNED by Machine Head is a bold and unrelenting offering that showcases the band's continued evolution while staying true to their signature sound. Packed with crushing riffs, thunderous drums, and Robb Flynn’s searing vocals, the album blends groove-heavy thrash with moments of melodic introspection. Tracks like "Ashes Reborn" and "Veins of Dissonance" stand out for their dynamic structures and emotional weight. While not every moment hits with the same intensity, UNATØNED is a fierce and thoughtful entry in Machine Head's discography — a worthy testament to their staying power in modern metal.
