Machine Head
Metallica meets Pink Floyd...

MACHINE HEAD haben in den letzten Wochen „wie verrückt“ an neuem Material geschrieben und ca. zehn rohe Songideen ausgearbeitet, wie Rob Flynn in seinem letzten Tagebucheintrag auf der Bandsite mitteilte. Unter den Songarbeitstiteln befinden sich folgende: 01. Monster, 02. All Those Things Left Unsaid, 03. Fall In Line, 04. Pins and Needles. Weiter heißt es in seinem Statement: „I felt like on Supercharger a certain someone [apparently referring to himself—ed.] was saying things to the press like ‚Supercharger is heavier than Burn My Eyes‘. I want to make it clear right now: We will not mislead anybody. Our new material is not ‚heavier‘ than Burn My Eyes. It is heavy as hell, but it is not ‚heavier‘ than BME. Make no mistake about it, it is sick as hell. And believe me, it wipes the floor with ANYTHING that was on the VMAs last [week]. It’s exciting, kinda reminds me of …And Justice For All-era METALLICA meets Wall-era PINK FLOYD, not sure why. Others have said it kinda has a Swedish metal kinda vibe, still tripping on that one. It’s hard to put into words, but I can say this. It ain’t boring, and it ain’t a bunch of rehashed NIRVANA riffs, It ain’t a bunch of suck-ass WHITE STRIPES, it ain’t a bunch of pretend-to-look-punk-while-singing-shiny-pop tunes.“
