[ad_1]

In early February, it was revealed that groove metallic bar-raisers Machine Head had wrapped up work on their new album. Now, the band have revealed the main points for that report, and have dropped a brutal new single from it through a disturbing music video.

Machine Head’s tenth studio album shall be known as Øf Kingdøm and Crøwn — yup, these ‘O’s with traces by way of ’em are canon, it appears — and can come out August twenty sixth through Nuclear Blast Information. The album is already accessible for preorder, and contains the band’s 2020 single “My Palms Are Empty.”

Apparently, Øf Kingdøm and Crøwn is an idea album, specializing in the connection between two tragic protagonists:

“Character #1 Ares: (pronounced Aries), our principal, who loses the love of his life (Amethyst) and goes on a murderous rampage in opposition to the vile sect liable for her homicide.

“Character #2 Eros: (pronounced Arrows) the perpetrator, who loses his mom to a drug overdose and turns into radicalized in the aftermath. Eros goes off the deep finish manifesting his personal killing spree.

The place’d this concept come from? Effectively, based on frontman Robb Flynn, it was, look forward to it, fucking anime:

“Due to my 2 teenage boys my household has turn out to be obsessive about this superior Japanese anime sequence known as Assault On Titan. The album’s idea was loosely impressed by the sequence within the sense that within the storyline, there is no such thing as a ‘good’ or ‘unhealthy’ man, each characters consider they’re doing the best factor because it applies to their being, however make no mistake, each are committing acts of pure atrocity and evil. The opening observe ‘Slaughter the Martyr’ is principally our character #1’s origin story.”

On the one hand, the premise of this album’s idea has us aching to cry, ‘NERD!‘ However the brand new single from Øf Kingdøm and Crøwn, “Chøke Øn the Ashes øf Yøur Hate,” shortly shuts us the hell up with that nonsense. Livid, mosh-ready, and packed to the gills with all the pieces we wish from a metallic music, it’s an absolute rager that reminds us why each Machine Head launch is an occasion. The band additionally went fairly insane with the video, too, touchdown someplace between black metallic and 9 Inch Nails.

Take a look at the observe beneath, and hold going for album particulars. The report shall be launched in 12 totally different worldwide vinyl codecs, deluxe vinyl field set [with bonus tracks] and CD, (old-school Lengthy Field CD, Jewel Field CD), multi-color cassette choices, and limited-edition Digipak with bonus tracks.
