MACHINE HEAD
Frontman Robert Flynn äußert sich zum neuen Album "The Blackening" auf der Roadrunner WebSite:
"We are loading in today to start on our new album!!! WOO - FUCKING - HOO!!! I can´t remember being this excited about recording, well... EVER. Seriously, we´re ready to fucking blow shit up! Spent Friday and Saturday with Dave [McClain, drums] down at the jam spot fine-tuning the songs, doing pre-production, and Saturday was really productive. Dave is fucking KILLING IT on the new shit this will certainly be his finest hour to date. I think we both walked away (as dorky as it sounds) giddy with excitement... we´re SO friggin´ stoked with how cool the new stuff is turning out!
We have officially narrowed down our song selection to eight songs. What, only eight?! That´s right fuckers, eight songs! We have a 10-minute opening track that´s practically four songs in one, with stop-on-a-dime changes and a rollercoaster ride of molten riffage! In fact, we have three 10-minute long tracks, so even with only eight songs, the record is damn near an hour long. It feels right though. It was a tough call we wrote 26 songs in total, but these eight are the very best songs of the bunch. The other 18... though heavy, or catchy, or what-have-you... man... they just lacked that special something, or they didn´t end with enough of that ´WOW!´ factor, so we were brutally honest with ourselves, exercised a little self-restraint, and we think you will be incredibly impressed with the results."
