'Unto The Locust' is the seventh studio album by Machine Head. It was produced and mixed by Robb Flynn, and was the band's highest charting album (22 on the Billboard 200) until their following release, Bloodstone & Diamonds (2014), reached 21.
Machine Head is an American heavy metal band from Oakland, California, U.S.A. The band was formed in 1991 by vocalist/rhythm guitarist Robb Flynn, who remains the only original member of the band. Machine Head's aggressive musicianship made it one of the pioneering bands in the new wave of American heavy metal. Having experimented with elements of groove metal and nu metal in its early releases, Machine Head changed to a more traditional thrash metal sound and longer songs with its sixth album, The Blackening (2007), which drew critical acclaim and was chosen as Album of the Decade by Metal Hammer in 2010. As of 2013, the band has sold over three million records worldwide.

'Y Not' is the sixteenth studio album by Ringo Starr. The album features several guest musicians, including Paul McCartney, who sang backing vocals on 'Walk With You', the lead single from the album.
Sir Richard Starkey MBE (born 7 July 1940), known professionally as Ringo Starr, is an English musician, songwriter and actor who achieved international fame as the drummer for the Beatles. Starr occasionally sang lead vocals with the group, usually for one song on each album. Starr's playing style, which emphasised feel over technical virtuosity, influenced many drummers to reconsider their playing from a compositional perspective. He also influenced various modern drumming techniques, such as the matched grip, tuning the drums lower, and using muffling devices on tonal rings. In 2011, Rolling Stone readers named him the fifth-greatest drummer of all time. He was inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, as a Beatle in 1988 and as a solo artist in 2015, and appointed a Knight Bachelor in the 2018 New Year Honours for services to music.

'Living With War, In The Beginning' is a remix album by Neil Young. It is a stripped-down version of Young's 2006 album Living With War. The original title, according to a press release, was called Living With War - Raw. However, the title changed when the album was finally released. On this version of the album, the sound is straight-from-the-source, captured live in the studio exactly the way it was recorded, without the backing instrumentation and choral accompaniment found on the original release.
Neil Percival Young (born November 12, 1945) is a Canadian singer and songwriter. After embarking on a music career in Winnipeg in the 1960s, Young moved to Los Angeles, joining the folk-rock group Buffalo Springfield. He then began his solo career, often with backing by the band Crazy Horse, and was also a part-time member of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. He is on Rolling Stone's list of 'The 100 Greatest Musical Artists'. 21 of his albums and singles have been certified Gold and Platinum in U.S. by RIAA certification.

Thrash Metal
'My God' is the eighth album by Flotsam And Jetsam. It sees the band continuing the return to their thrashy sound on its predecessor Unnatural Selection (1999), and expanding on the lyrical content of their 1990s material, with themes related to politics, religion and social issues.
Flotsam And Jetsam is an American thrash metal band that was formed in Phoenix, Arizona, in 1981. Before settling on its current name in 1984, the band had existed under three different names, Paradox, Dredlox and Dogz. They are also notable for featuring a then-unknown Jason Newsted, who was the band's bassist from 1981 to 1986, when he left the band shortly after the release of their debut album to join Metallica. Despite not achieving similar levels of commercial success as some of their thrash metal contemporaries, the band emerged as part of the second wave of the genre in the mid-to-late 1980s (along with Sepultura, Testament and Death Angel).

'Physicist' is the fourth solo album by Devin Townsend.

Notably, the line-up of musicians featured on this album is identical to that of Strapping Young Lad.
Devin Garrett Townsend (born May 5, 1972) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, musician, and record producer.

They then re-formed in 2001 and released the critically acclaimed 'Monotheist' (2006), and finally disbanded permanently following Fischer's departure in 2008. His following band, Triptykon, was seen as a continuation of the legacy Celtic Frost had left.

Gothic Metal
'World Coming Down' is the fifth studio album by Type O Negative. It is considered to be the darkest of the band's releases, having been written after a series of deaths in frontman Peter Steele's family, combined with the desire to break away from the sexually charged themes of the previous albums. It was also the band's first album to reach the Top 40 on the Billboard 200.
Type O Negative was an American gothic metal/doom metal band formed in Brooklyn, New York City, U.S.A. in 1989. Their lyrical emphasis on themes of romance, depression, and death resulted in the nickname 'The Drab Four' (in homage to The Beatles' 'Fab Four' moniker). The band went platinum with 1993's Bloody Kisses, and gold with 1996's October Rust. Vocalist and bassist Pete Steele died on April 14, 2010, at the age of 48; some sources report the cause of death as heart failure brought on by an aortic aneurysm, while others list sepsis caused by diverticulitis. Seven months after Steele's death, the surviving members of Type O Negative announced that they would not continue as a band.

It marked as a return to Flotsam And Jetsam's thrashy roots after almost a decade of musical experimentation with their metal sound, although it did continue the trend of most of their 1990s material, with the lyrical content focusing on social and political-related themes, whereas the band's 1980s output had Satanic/occult themes.

Gothic Metal
'The Origin Of The Feces (Not Live At Brighton Beach)' is the second studio album by Type O Negative. The album was recorded in a studio but produced to sound "live" by adding crowd noises, banter with the fictitious audience, and even a song stopping because the venue supposedly had received a bomb threat. This was done to simulate the controversy the band faced during the European leg of their Slow, Deep And Hard tour. The band is known among fans for weaving this type of humor into their often gloomy music.
Type O Negative was an American gothic metal/doom metal band formed in Brooklyn, New York City, U.S.A. in 1989.
