Machine Head - I Am Hell (Sonata In C#) Lyrics

It's definitely a band to learn from. Love Machine Head.

Therapeutic for 👂👂
Orgasmic for the 😈

I am death
Arms held outstretched
I am hell
Born this mortal shell
I am wrath
Take this bloodbath
God sent me to kill you

What started out as wonder
The smell of scorched earth
It filled me with a sense of bliss
Inside my head the noises how they thundered
With cracking and hiss
One match
Killed the anguish
One act
Left me fulfilled
Destruction now the only catalyst
To save this soul
From these thoughtless kills

Where once a heart was beating
Nothing but embers glow
Our love it serves as kindling
To stoke this flames inferno

I am hell to thee
Down here all shall suffer with me
Die purified
Rise the ashes to the sky

Obsession born of young lust
Incomprehensible the feelings as they came to pass
But now betrayal slowly turns to blood lust
Through sulphur and gas

Ignite this crime of passion
Loves pyre is set ablaze
The charred remains of all
Compassion was the spark that lit
Your immolation

Where once a heart was beating
Nothing but embers glow
Our love it serves as kindling
To stoke this flames inferno

I am hell to thee
Down here all shall suffer with me
Die purified
Rise the ashes to the sky

So burn
I'll burn it down
I'll burn you down
So you'll never love again (again)

[Lead: Flynn / Demmel, Flynn]

Where once a heart was beating
Nothing but embers glow
Our love it serves as kindling
To stoke this flames inferno

I am hell to thee
Down here all shall suffer with me
Die purified
In this the ashes of your immolation

I
Am
Hell
In the ashes of your immolation

This song is a fvcking masterpiece.

6:00 to 6:27 = yes.

I....AM WRATH.
CAAAKE.
FISH.
BLOODBAAATH.

Fucking Amazing 🍻

This, and The Blackening are the albums that define the second era of Machine Head (Post 2002 and beyond)

That stupid song must be like Avenged Sevenfold's! So as Imagine Dragons they don't play fair why won't they make death metal? I wish the Imagine Dragons will rock for the devil.

God sent me to kill sex offenderz

Everyone else at the AA meeting: **”Hiiiiii, Hellllllll...”**

Machine head keeps me calm and level headed in video games, go figure.
Except racing games, need 100% attention there.

Unto the Locust is the fucking heaviest album Machine Head has ever made.

I wish these guys didn’t fuckin’ break up.. 😢

MK FROM, FAM ANYONE

This is so... I don't even have words to describe it. It's just that awesome.

MK from FAM

I think this song should've earned an award for best guitar solo of 2011.

I don't know why but I can just imagine fighting the Duke's Dear Freja from Dark Souls 2 while blasting this song

Live version sounds better... :(

Stereo Meter in the Red? CHECK! Windows Rattling? CHECK! Neighbors pissed off ? CHECK! FUCK THE WORLD? CHECK!!!!!

Ahhh, Machine Head. Perfect band to listen to while studying.

I don't know how you do that? I'd be too busy singing along, playing air guitar and headbanging 😂🤘

@Joshua Yettou I do it whilst marking student papers...and headbanging, of course, but just a half bang.

Can't agree more

Pure adrenaline fueled heavy metal!

DarKKnightt07 IKR! Machine Head is one of the most influential bands of all time!

At 2x speed, it sounds like classical inspired death metal.

oh my god it does

Braylen Schmidt I'm glad you agree with me!

dude lol

at 1x speed it sounds like classical inspired death metal

The pitch of the strings are in between C# and D, so I assume the band put C# in the title because it sounds like C# to them. To me, it's D. What do you guys think?

TheSharkAnt Gaming its like that so that the natural harmonics of the guitar resonate better

I dont know notes and tbh dont care

They've been tuning 40 cents above C# since The Blackening. They say it's a sweet spot for getting clarity in the harmonics. So yeah, it's kinda in between C# and D, but closer to C#.

Saying Sonata "in C#" is referring to the key signature. The root of the key signature is the definition of the key, and regardless of what notes occur within this paradigm, the key is C#. It's somewhat nonstandard in modern music to denote the key this way, but there was a time it was considered standard. The highly consistent sonic character of the instrumentation is reflective of the fact it's written in key. Most modern metal disregards key and can be seen to fall only very loosely into a key, which would need to be derived by ear.

Those drums!!! 🤘

J Roc For a groove metal band, the drums are very intense!

@TheSharkAnt Gaming & More Just now seeing your comment. Crazy to see that McClain is gone and Contos is back in the band!

Joshua Yettou Unfortunately Kontos is only playing for the Burn My Eyes 25th anniversary tour. Matt Alston is their new drummer

Super under appreciated album

i agree i listen to it like every fucking day now

Christopher Carvalho This song is a great way to start a masterpiece of an album. I don't own a physical copy of Unto The Locust, but I know it's a good album because I heard every song on the original release version on YouTube (speaking of which, this is YouTube, but you already know that).

"The blackening was the last good machine head album" fuck off, this and bloodstone were works of art.

This was their peak no doubt, hey have gone to shit these days. It's a shame.

Yep Flynn's bullshit social justice warrior killed this band and it's a damn shame...

Hell Yeah!!!

love this album!

First comment. :P
