New Machine Head LP, August 26th

2022-04-12 by Fernando Alves STAFF | 34 Comments
US metallers Machine Head will be releasing their tenth studio album, Of Kingdom And Crown, on August 26th via Nuclear Blast/Imperium Recordings. The official music video for the new track 'Choke On The Ashes Of Your Hate' can be seen below.



Of Kingdom And Crown is a 13-track concept album based on 2 main characters:

Character #1 Ares: (pronounced Aries), our main, who loses the love of his life (Amethyst) and goes on a murderous rampage against the vile sect responsible for her murder.

Character #2 Eros: (pronounced Arrows) the perpetrator, who loses his mother to a drug overdose and becomes radicalized in the aftermath. Eros goes off the deep end manifesting his own killing spree.

Robb Flynn comments: "Thanks to my 2 teenage boys my family has become obsessed with this awesome Japanese anime series called “Attack On Titan.” The album’s concept was loosely inspired by the series in the sense that in the storyline, there is no "good" or "bad" guy, both characters believe they're doing the right thing as it applies to their being, but make no mistake, both are committing acts of pure atrocity and evil. The opening track 'Slaughter The Martyr' is basically our character #1's origin story."

Tracklist:
1. Slaughter The Martyr
2. Choke On The Ashes Of Your Hate
3. Become The Firestorm
4. Overdose
5. My Hands Are Empty
6. Unhallowed
7. Assimilate
8. Kill Thy Enemies
9. No Gods, No Masters
10. Bloodshot
11. Rotten
12. Terminus
13. Arrows In Words From The Sky

New single is pretty good. Please more of this and less garbage like most of the songs on Catharsis.

I really thought it was going to be awful, but this single is actually quite good.

At least 6 of the tracks have already been released before, what's the point of including your last EP's in their entirety on a new album?
Song is alright

The song isn't bad, I actually like the breakdown. Still, not on par w/their best material.

I've yet to listen, but if one hasn't enjoyed Machine Head since The Blackening, 1-10, how disappointing is it?

If this is supposed to be like AoT then the album will be great up until the last couple tracks which will be awful and sour the entire album.

I’m no Flynn apologist but he has proven people wrong before. Dude is self righteous to a fault but when he wants to, he can write a helluva metal tune.

Definitely a step up from their recent output but I can't bring myself to care about this band anymore.

He didn't say the N word in this song so that's an improvement

how do Cloudkicker albums from a decade ago have consistently better programmed drum sounds than any of these modern metal bands with actual drummers

i haven't listened to it yet, but considering how awful Catharsis was, is it necessary to have the band even around at this point? And the title of this sure does sound like it has those 'SJW' themes that Bastards had (which was like a butthurt raging against people like Phil Anselmo and others) and that's fine if that's what he wants to do with the band but man was it boring. the band weren't even that present on the album, it was like Rob Flynn manifesto rage

not bad at all, but vogg phoned in his solo, which sucks cause his soloing style fits MH really well

Definitely a huge improvement. Not Blackening or Bloodstone level, but Robb Flynn just might redeem himself.
