MACHINE HEAD's colossal tenth album, the immense and unapologetic, ØF KINGDØM AND CRØWN, is out now via Nuclear Blast Records X Imperium Recordings.

ORDER: https://tentontradingco.com
LISTEN: https://machinehead.bfan.link/of-king...

'ØF KINGDØM AND CRØWN' is a 13 track concept album set in a decimated futuristic wasteland where the sky is stained crimson red. The crux of the story is 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.

The lyrics detail how their lives intertwine.

MACHINE HEAD founder 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.”

FORMATS:
The colossal concept comes with a list of equally colossal packaging for various physical formats including 16 different worldwide vinyl formats, deluxe vinyl box set (with bonus tracks), CDs (both old-school longbox and jewel box options), multi-color cassettes, and a limited-edition Digipak with bonus tracks.

CDs, Digipak, cassettes, and all digital formats will be available on Aug 26th, with all vinyl formats arriving on Nov 25th.

MACHINE HEAD "BECØME THE FIRESTØRM" LYRICS

Now become

Kill the pain
I’m breaking the shackles
Endless, let my spirit rise
I will not be denied
Rage against the dying light

Fearless, so vicious and violent
I’ll fight this struggle to the death
Until nothing is left
Pounding fists on beaten chest
Scream this ‘til my dying breath

Stand strong and fight through the scorn
Become the firestorm (x2)
Distended, twisted and torn
Become the firestorm (x2)

Watch me burn
The fury is frightening
Deathless, smash and conquer all
Time to beckon the call
Stand with me and never fall

Toxic, the pious and poisoned
Heartless, trust there's no love lost
And no matter the cost
Don’t believe that all is lost
Kill this mental holocaust

Stand strong and fight through the scorn
Become the firestorm (x2)
Distended, twisted and torn
Become the firestorm (x2)

Honor, valor, I have shone
Courage, respect carved in stone
Killers, sinners are my flock
Slaughter, carnage, butcher’s block

If there was ever a time in my life
That time is now
Take this weakness that cuts like a knife
And smash it down

Stand strong and fight through the scorn
Become the firestorm (x2)
Distended, twisted and torn
Become the firestorm (x2)

The 3-track digital single titled "Arrows In Words From The Sky" features:
Rotten
Arrows In Words From The Sky
Become The Firestorm
http://nblast.de/MH-AIWFTS

Written against the backdrop of a once-in-a-century pandemic, and the long and painful death of frontman / guitarist Robb Flynn’s mother, these 3 songs represent one of the darkest chapters in MACHINE HEAD history.

And while songs like blistering opening track “Become The Firestorm" seethe with an apocalyptic anger, the 3-track single closes with one of the most transcending songs in the MH arsenal in title track “Arrows In Words From The Sky"

Flynn states:
"The lyrics to these songs took to me places inside I didn’t want to go, from the bile and negativity on “Rotten,” to nothing-will-beat-me-down fury of “Become The Firestorm,” to the title track “Arrows” being one of the saddest songs I’ve ever written, yet somehow has the power to lift me up out of what was a very dark time in my life. My hope is that by sharing these dark experiences with the Head Cases of the world, it can save someone else out of that same dark place.”
