Full review

Hellalive is an album that captures the intensity and pure ecstasy of a live machine head concert. The CD was mostly recorded at the Brixton Academy in London and two tracks from a later gig in Germany. It simply places live songs from across Machine Head's discography onto one CD. Their set included songs like "None But My Own" on Burn My Eyes to "Supercharger". Highlights of Machine Head's performance that night included the amazing "Ten Ton Hammer", "Crashing Around You" (which had Flynn explaining how he came up with it as its intro) and the emotional "The Burning Red".

Those of you fans that had never had the chance to see these guys live are lucky that they released this epic live album as it marks the last Machine Head recordings with guitarist Ahrue Luster.

Apparently Hellalive was named by a fan through a contest run by Road Runner. It was recorded for the people, in front of the people. If you are a machine head fan, then this album is the next best thing to seeing them live of which they are a class act.

Deffo one to buy.
