Do or Die Machine Head

2019-10-11 by grizzlys54 | 81 Comments
MACHINE HEAD has released the official music video for its new track "Do Or Die". The track is available now on all digital platforms. It is the first track to feature the two new members: Polish guitarist Wacław "Vogg" Kiełtyka (DECAPITATED) and British drummer Matt Alston (DEVILMENT, EASTERN FRONT).

Flynn said that MACHINE HEAD's session with Carlos Cruz, who is the drummer for WARBRINGER, yielded about four or five new songs.

The release of "Do Or Die" will be followed by the arrival of more new songs from MACHINE HEAD. "We're gonna start dropping a steady stream of new music — standalone songs," Flynn said. "There's not gonna be an album; there's just gonna be a steady stream of standalone tracks that are consistently released. And then eventually they may or may not end up on an album. But we're mixing it up. We wanna do this new model where we can put stuff out faster and get new music out quicker to the die-hards.

not bad. It's nothing we haven't heard before but still it's energetic and quite fun to listen. I have to say that his vocals sound really worse than in previous efforts tho

" I don't give a fuck about your haters and your hate
You assholes better duck, I'm coming swinging out the gate
There's not a metal band I ain't influenced, now I'm calling out the judas
Every band's the fucking same
And all I hear, is all you bitches commenting your chatter"

lol these lyrics are abysmal

I hate it. The lyrics sound like they were written by an angry 13 year old. Although Catharsis was pretty much a piece of shit album, I thought the title track was really good. I wish they would go more in that direction and stop writing generic songs like this.

Well....at least it's musically better than Catharsis, but the lyrics are so abysmal that I'm pretty sure Rob's brain permanently broke after 2016.

Are you kidding me? Who listens to this? The instrumentation isn't interesting, nor are the vocals, lyrics... anything about this. Wow

I mean the lyrics are really fucking awful and cringy, but come on, he's at least a decent vocalist somewhere under all this bullshit.

I actually don't mind the track THAT much, I dig the dual-lead towards the end, very Halo-esque which is nice, and it's better than most of the last album. But the 'die motherfucker' part ensures I will never listen to it again. Astounding levels of cringe.

People seem to really hate "Catharsis" on here! I mean I can understand why but as someone who liked "The burning red" and to a lesser extent "Supercharger" I thought it was quite enjoyable.

Also new song is good but goddamn Robbs lyrics get more cringeworthy by the minute.

Generally because it's a average [or less] as fuck album. Sput has a broader range of raters than those click bait sites like injection etc.

From Flynn's instagram:

To all the bitchass internet troll motherfuckers who keep whining and menstrating about how “Do Or Die” has lyrics from the band Dope. Here’s a little fucking reminder for your moronic nu-metal-brain’s, since 1993 in our song “fuck at all” I’ve been saying “c’mon motherfucker c’mon” in the middle break down. Here’s video of me in 1995 saying it at Dynamo!⠀

It was a good seven years before Dopes 2001’s “Die MF Die” came out you fuckin sausage gobblers!⠀

DUH!!⠀

Not to mention that any fucking band on the planet saying “______ motherfucker ______” in any combination (and that goes for coal chamber, five finger death punch, dope, and yes, Machine Head) are all jacking it from 1984’s hip hop classic “The Roof Is On Fire” by Rock Master Scott & The Dynamic Three. Know your fucking musical history fuckboi’s!!

And if I hear one more fucking internet twathole moaning about “cringe worthy lyrics” while they sit in front of their computers stroking their little fucking boners to the lyrical genius of fucking BABYMETAL, eat a bowl of cock! ⠀

Because the second the Pantera’s “walk” comes on, with such lyrical Edgar Allan Poe-esque masterpiece is like “run your mouth when I’m not around it’s easy to achieve” and “walk on home boy” Or lamb of god’s “this is a motherfucking invitation” these same fucking brain-donors run right out to the dance floor and start headbanging!⠀And rightly so!!

P.S. Who the fuck listens to Dope!!??

Yes, he identifies as a moody genre neutral wheelchair in order to release relate-able content to other teenage mutant neutral genre pole lamps. So far, it seems to be working.

Honestly The Blackening was sort of a one off for Machine Head. I mean Through the Ashes of Empires and Burn My Eyes are p good but they sure as fuck are bogged down by the other half of Machine Heads material.

Agreed that Through the Ashes of Empires is really underrated in their catalogue. Surely some gay songs on there, but a bunch of dope ones too.
