It’s the 15th Anniversary of Machine Head’s Through the Ashes of Empires

Welcome back to Apocalyptic Anniversaries, our new series on which ace metal YouTube reviewer TheMetalTris explores landmark anniversaries of some of the most important albums in the history of metal.

This week we take a look back at Machine Head’s 2003 landmark album Through the Ashes of Empires. What made this album in particular so important to Machine Head’s career, especially as a precursor to the sonic expansion they’d explore on The Blackening? How well does it stand up today on its own merits?
