Robb Flynn is the lead vocalist and guitarist for the groove metal band Machine Head. Flynn formed the band after leaving the legendary Bay Area thrash band Vio-Lence.
Flynn also formed the thrash metal band Forbidden.He played in this band from 1985 to 1987. He wrote four songs which appeared on their debut album, "Chalice Of Blood", "Forbidden Evil", "As Good As Dead" and part of "March Into Fire", but left before an album was released to join local thrash metal rivals Vio-lence, alongside present Machine Head guitarist Phil Demmel.
Flynn then went on to form the present-day band, Machine Head, who's debut album "Burn My Eyes" made Flynn a phenomenon.
Machine Head's recent release "The Blackening" has climbed to #54 on the US Billboard after two weeks of being released, and was nominated for a Grammy Award, being by far the band's most successful album which they have toured to support for the past 2 years including opening world-wide for Metallica in 2008 - 2009.
