Machine Head: Diamonds In The Rough 92-93 (Fire Vinyl, 2xLP)

Before the groove-metal behemoth that was Burn My Eyes, Machine Head were a band still finding their footing, and Diamonds In The Rough 92-93 captures that raw, hungry period in full. Compiled from early recordings and live material, this is the sound of a band on the verge, heavy, relentless, and utterly unpolished in the best possible way.

Released in 2024 via Imperium Recordings, this is the Tentontrading exclusive Fire Vinyl pressing, limited to just 1,000 copies worldwide. Pressed on heavyweight 180g double vinyl in a striking Yellow/Red Merge colourway, it's a serious collector's piece for any Machine Head devotee.

The packaging matches the ambition of the music. A premium gold foil Machine Head diamond logo adorns the front gatefold, with liner notes written by Robb Flynn himself, black paper slips around each disc, and a massive 16-page (12"x12") booklet packed with unreleased photos and live shots pulled straight from the band members' personal archives.
