Machine Head – Ready for the Studio – Announce Album Title, Tentative Song Titles
Bay Area based MACHINE HEAD have set “The Blackening” as the title of their sixth studio album, tentatively due in early 2007 via Roadrunner Records. As previously reported, the group will enter Sharkbite Studios in Oakland, CA on Monday, August 21 to begin tracking, with frontman Robert Flynn producing, Mark Keaton engineering, Colin Richardson mixing, and Paul Brown on art. Tentative songtitles for “The Blackening” include:
Clenching the Fists of Dissent
Aesthetics of Hate
Halo
The Beautiful Mourning
Now I Lay Thee Down
Slanderous Love
Wolves
A Farewell to Arms
“Words can’t really describe how excited we are to get into the studio and record this record,” exclaims drummer Dave McClain. “The shows that we just played on the Sounds of the Underground tour were as amazing as we’d hoped they’d be, the raw energy and excitement level of our fans right now is just incredible. We’re fired up!”
Guitarist Phil Demmel adds, “We’re still smoothing out some rough edges but what we have, we’re extremely proud of. I’m not one to go off on ‘heavier than blah-blah-blah!!!!’ and ‘crushes your-these-and-those!!!!’ but I will say that fans of what we call ‘just fuckin’ metal’ will be digging this new material.”
