"The Burning Red" is the 3rd studio album by American heavy metal band Machine Head. It is the band's second best selling album in the US. The Burning Red was Machine Head's first album with guitarist Ahrue Luster, as well as their first venture into nu metal.
"That’s right Head Cases, two decades ago our infamous third album was released, inspiring some of our most beloved songs, and in many ways drawing a dividing line between older metal fans and “nu”-er metal fans.
And while the boys choice of stage clothes and hair styles may have been… uh… er… questionable… 20 years later the songs STILL unquestionably crush in the live arena with crowd-favorites such as “The Blood, The Sweat, The Tears”, and “From This Day” proving to be certifiable smashes in the MH arsenal.
The decidedly personal and traumatic nature of the lyrics in songs such as “Five” and the title track, connected the band to a whole new generation of Head Cases, and The Burning Red would eventually change the course of the band’s history forever. Some have argued for the worse, but with the context of time, most agree it was absolutely for the better." - Machinehead statement on the 20th Anniversary of "The Burning Red"
