MACHINE HEAD Announce Monumental 11th Album: UNATØNED

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on February 18, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

From Machine Head Bandsintown:

Head Cases! We’re excited to reveal that our long-awaited eleventh studio album, UNATØNED, drops April 25th, 2025 via Nuclear Blast X Imperium Recordings.

The crushing new single “UNBØUND” is out now!

PRE-ORDER: http://machinehead1.com

UNATØNED is a testament to momentum, an album honed to its sharpest edge, forged on creative discipline and the hunger to push forward. It drips with melancholy melodies, and yet hammers with bludgeoning riffs, soars with anthemic sing-a-longs of love-lost and sadness, to bellowing power and undeniable confidence. Eleven albums deep, Machine Head remain as fierce, relevant, and unstoppable as ever.

UNATØNED – TRACKLIST:

LANDSCAPE ØF THØRNS
ATØMIC REVELATIØNS
UNBØUND
ØUTSIDER
NØT LØNG FØR THIS WØRLD
THESE SCARS WØN’T DEFINE US
DUSTMAKER
BØNESCRAPER
ADDICTED TØ PAIN
BLEEDING ME DRY
SHARDS ØF SHATTERED DREAMS

Machine Head - promo band pic - Bloodstone & Diamonds - 2014 - #77MH

Bloodstone & Diamonds was once again produced by Robb Flynn himself and Juan Urteaga (TESTAMENT, VILE), and like the last 7 out of 8 albums, was masterfully mixed by Colin Richardson (CARCASS, BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE, SLIPKNOT, BEHEMOTH). Additional tracking, editing, and mixing was done with heavy metal legend Andy Sneap (EXODUS, ARCH ENEMY, MEGADETH) who also launched his career co-mixing Machine Head’s 2nd album “The More Things Change” and Steve Lagudi.

“I cannot even begin to tell you how proud we are of this album,” comments frontman Robb Flynn. “It’s been a heck of a ride, but man, this album is a milestone for us. You’re going to love it Head Cases.”

“Without getting too philosophical on ya, Bloodstone & Diamonds represent two of the hardest materials on earth, it is also a lyric from the opening track of the album ‘Now We Die’. In many cultures the bloodstone has been used as an amulet to protect against evil and is the symbol of justice. Diamonds are the hardest natural material on earth (which is how we feel about our music) and it also represents the diamond logo I drew 22 years ago (in my wife’s apartment on Dover St. in Oakland) that has become the symbol for the band.”
