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.
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 👌!
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
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.
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.
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 !!!
This has been one of my favourite albums since it's release. I honestly didn't know Machine Head prior but this immediately put them near the top of my fav bands. This mix does sound a bit different to final album, yeah?
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.
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!
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|
+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

I've listened to lots of good metal, but I gotta say this this is probably the best song I've ever heard. The heavy sick riffs, the beautiful harmonic and symphonic sections, and the crazy solos. It's basically a masterpiece.
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.
I listen to this album during september, october every year since 2011 to curb a dark time in my life. I don't know why but it will always be in my soul during these months. Thank you Machine Head for getting me through them
![Machine Head - Davidian [OFFICIAL VIDEO]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Qf0yWQzz0gM/mqdefault.jpg)
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
The breakdown is still one of the nastiest going. Clean and powerful. We can never lose the breakdown people
Machine head does not get enough respect, these guys are awesome.
I agree
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
SUFFER UNTO THE LOCUST!!! Damn what power does Flynn have in his voice!!!!
yeah - his growl is a given
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.
Other groove metal bands: headbanging and brutal riffs
Machine Head: headbanging riffs and melodic solo
--- 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
This song/album has been out for 12 years it’s still 🔥, man time flys
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.
This solo is what i call a masterpiece.
There is not any other single word in any language to name it.
0:00 - 7:43 = epic
mrdodoize totally
totes right
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.
The drummer is absolutely awesome.
Pure metal masterpiece! Lyrics is touching my soul.
Was 16 hearing this, now 30 so says a lot n how much I love it lol😂😂
I was in 6th or 7th grade when this dropped. I still slap it to this day.
5:31 epic!
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.
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
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
Words cannot describe how excited I am for this upcoming album!
One of the greatest metal songs of all time
An epic masterpiece..... perfectly orchestrated, beautiful in its brutality this song never gets old. A timeless metal treasure!
This...this is the song I go to when I need to remember why I love tom groove intros.
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.

Those drums in the beginning though...
Perfect song for a Gears of War Playthrough
how have I not put those two together!
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
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.
Pure epicness, how can people even dislike this? I don't see any possibility in ever disliking this :D
Me in 2022 still listening to it
Machine head gods of metal 🤘🤘🤘
Truth sir.
Now would be a really good time to listen to this since we have a huge locust swarm problem.
machine head is like old fine wine, the older they get the better they sound!!!
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 !!!
When that bridge and solo hits while you're driving! :)
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.....
Heard this song on the radio station in the video game sleeping dogs and think it’s one of (if not the) best song in the game
The new Machine Head doesn't come out until come out September 27th. I want it now!!!!
One of the best metal bands today!
Amazing album start to finish. One of the best Metal has to offer!
I just wonder if it's really 200 views with us just listening to it over...and over...and over :)
OMG my hand its always pushing replay button!!
Underrated true metal legends.. Keep kicking our asses and keep the music alive brothers
Thanks, Sleeping Dogs.
Holy shit. I listened to this song while i did 4 sets of squats. Free energy
This has been one of my favourite albums since it's release. I honestly didn't know Machine Head prior but this immediately put them near the top of my fav bands.
This mix does sound a bit different to final album, yeah?
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.
Even Locusts love this song !
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.
This is the song u should play when working out
This is the first Machine Head song I've heard this is a really good fight impression
so epic i get chills
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!
I love this song :)
THIS IS THE "MACHINE HEAD" I LOVE TO HEAR!!!
hell yeah I can't wait for the new stuff. The Blackening was pretty kick ass. Machine Head is the shit.
If you live in the NY area, this song is great to fill in the gapless sounds of the locusts trip noise this year,
This song is so fucking heavy it's amazing. The more I listen to it the more I like it. Can't wait for the new album and to see you guys live!
Going back to this after hearing the new stuff really shows how far they have fallen.
so far this is the the best song ive heard this year cant wait for the album.
New song, fuck yeah! New album, can't wait for the rest of it.
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.

OMG I love the cover art!
Bought the shit out of this as soon as it was out.
so tough, so strong..heavy..awesome as always...
great riffs.......
Masterpiece
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

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.

Absolutely...a fantastic track from MH
New Machine Head always makes me smile, never disappointed after 17 years.
I'M SEEING THEM IN DECEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you want some real ass-kicking Metal...here it is... "Locust" from MACHINE HEAD!! \>machinehead
3:33 let it all go..
his voice is literally so beautiful at that part.
it legitimately makes me wanna cry
Why was i not listening to this before? this grinds hard!
I've listened to lots of good metal, but I gotta say this this is probably the best song I've ever heard. The heavy sick riffs, the beautiful harmonic and symphonic sections, and the crazy solos. It's basically a masterpiece.

One of my favorites. Someone has good taste in music
Hey, these guys are good!

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
We are Machineheads.
REALLY GREAT!
Currently listening to: Machine Head - Locust
I listen to this album during september, october every year since 2011 to curb a dark time in my life. I don't know why but it will always be in my soul during these months. Thank you Machine Head for getting me through them
that chorus is nothing to laugh at holy shit.
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.
Truly loving that drumming.

Theme song of the Locust Horde from Gears of War.
