MACHINE HEAD - CHØKE ØN THE ASHES ØF YØUR HATE (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

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

'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.

"CHØKE ØN THE ASHES ØF YØUR HATE" LYRICS

Faithless weaponize, mass corrupted lies, poison everything
False conspiracy, soulless enemy, dead for all to see
Look around and see the great decay
Violence turns the fearful into slaves

Choke
On the ashes of your
Hate
And it’s far too late
Look around and see, the great hypocrisy
Glittering inside its rotting cage

Sick society, lost in vanity, paid to slowly die
Lifeless reprobate, soul incarcerate, cutting like a knife
Shoving their vile venom down our throats like Klonopin
Force feed their lies back like medicine

Choke
On the ashes of your
Hate
And it’s far too late
Look around and see, the great hypocrisy
Glittering inside this rotting cage

Chaos cratering
Riots, anarchy
Lawlessness abounds
All of us hell-bound
We’re the damaged ones
Left with the damage done
We don’t care no more
This is f*****g war

Mutator bastard
Bow to your master
Dead men, no worry
Welcome hell’s fury

Solo: Flynn
Solo: Kiełtyka

Mock and penalize, vex and victimize, starving refugee
Race identity, burning you and me, cinders char the free
Lowing like a shackled animal
Day of slaughter only time will tell

Choke
On the ashes of your
Hate
And it’s far too late
Look around and see, the great hypocrisy
Glittering inside this rotting cage

[marqesedabbs]

Natural harmonics
Riffs, riffs, and more riffs
Crushing drums
Groove
Speed and aggression
Face melting solos
Lyrics that don't make me cringe
This is the Machine Head I've missed

[jamescostello]

This is the Machine Head I fell in love with back in 94 🤘🏻

[trvk.]

This is what MACHINE HEAD stands for!! Fuking METAL and still one of the best bands EVER!!!

[HWAP]

They didn't have to go this hard. But they did, and I am here for it.

[IanVase]

See....we all need to accept and appreciate the fact that sometimes....Rob just wants to do some experimenting and try different stuff and that's totally ok. But he KNOWS his sound and it's f*cking killer. This is sick.

[machinehead]

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

[thfsaviation]

It's so refreshing to see a band get heavier and cleaner with time, and not just play what's easy. Rob's always pushing forward. This new sound is blistering. Well done.

[setabnareik]

How Robb plays those riffs and sings at the same time is beyond me. And this is coming from a man who can play seven nation army on bass!!

[aryamoghaddam]

There will be some sick guitar solos on this record. Firestorm, Rotten, Arrows and now this. They're shredding the shit out of those guitars.
Also thrashier than ever. Really hyped for the new album. 🤘🏻

[JosephFontenot]

As I'm listening to this song I can't help but think that if this was released around the time of Sepultura "Arise" that would've made a fucking epic tour. This song is slamming and is everything Machine Head should be, welcome back MH.

[slipknotpurity]

It's like a new Machine Head reborn and heavier than ever. Awesome stuff.

[jasonlauritsen]

The best thing about Machine Head is that i know its machine head the instant i hear a natural harmonic, they all have a Machine Head ring to em

[lihavalokki]

This goes harder than I expected. Hyped as hell to hear the rest of the album!

[popefb]

Just realised Vogg is the new guitarist, that explains a lot... Hyped af for the new album. This wait is going to kill me...

[davidgrenfell]

NEVER stop doing those sick pinch harmonics. One of the things I always loved about MH since the early days. Digging the new track, it's heavy! And also: Vogg.

[LeonardoLopesOfficial]

The real MH is back!
This song is like a mix of the trilogy "Through the Ashes of Empires", "The Blackening" and "Unto the Locust"! Awesome!!!

[RodrigoDigoJunho]

Sounds like Thrash Metal 80s and this Lyrics are very impactful ! I WANT THIS CD ! Thank you Machine Head for keeping THE METAL MORE ALIVE THAN EVER !

[hfreyse]

HOLY. SHIT. This one's a crusher.
Getting instant Block/Blood for Blood vibes, which as an old school BME Head makes me even happier.
I welcome our new, old Machine Head overlords!

[-outlawchicano-]

This is the machine head I know. The heavyness is back.Robb is full of energy again. It was time Robb. This was phenomenal.The best shit since the blackening.You guys did the right thing.this was pure destruction.

[supersaiyandeathmetalgod]

Now this is the Machine Head I fell in love with. We might have a return to form on our hands here people.
