Good post as the point of the thread is for people to listen to metal out of their normal comfort zone and even listen to stuff they previously didn`t like.....quite often people get into a band this way.

Their name doesn`t come from the Deep Purple album at all and there is no indication the group ever liked or listened to DP, the name comes from the guitar part, either way the name is one of the coolest sounding I know. Hell I need to buy a Machine Head t-shirt.
