Die San Francisco Bay Area Metaller Machine Head haben einen neuen Song rausgehauen. “Unhallowed” kommt samt Musikvideo und stammt vom kommenden zehnten Studioalbum der Gruppe namens “Of Kingdom And Crown”, das am 26. August 2022 via Nuclear Blast/Imperium Recordings erscheinen wird. Bei dem Longplayer handelt es sich um ein Konzeptalbum mit dreizehn Stücken. Grundlage ist ein dezimiertes futuristisches Ödland in dem der Himmel Purpurrot/Karminrot ist. Wir haben hier schon etwas mehr über den Inhalt berichtet.
Machine Head Sänger/Gitarrist Robb Flynn dazu: „‚Unhallowed‘: Chapter Six – ‚Of Kingdom And Crown‘.
„Drowning in the deepest depression of his life, Eros is at a breaking point. Collecting heartaches, loss, and near psychotic isolation, ‚Unhallowed‘ is the beginning of a powerful shift of our story. An introspective narrative starts the song lyrically, which is a collaborative effort written by myself, guitarist Wacław ‚Vogg‘ Kiełtyka and bassist/backing vocalist Jared MacEachern and encapsulates the collective strength of this writing team.
„Anchored by an absolutely monstrous groove, the vocals melodically mirror the state of mind of Eros as he reels from the loss of his mother to a drug overdose and begins a slow downward spiral into madness. However, the culmination of the track infuses some much-needed light, but will it be enough?“
