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.

"UNHALLØWED" LYRICS

I feel no one will ever listen
The remnants of an empty soul
The ghost of monumental failure
Unhallowed

I lay in bed awake, the anguish slowly aches
I’m starring at a dark abyss and wondering why...
Crawling back to the womb, my depression a tomb, there’s a fog inside my mind
So much hatred and doom, when the dead roses bloom, as I sabotage my pride

Mind is fading
Going crazy (now)

I feel dead inside
An empty soul
And what was once my life
Is unhallowed

I feel no one will ever listen
The remnants of an empty soul
The ghost of monumental failure
Unhallowed

Time slipping through my hands, like granules of sand
This rusted razor blade is looking all too kind
When I close my eyes, thoughts of suicide, there’s an ache inside my soul
Just a shell of a man, in these hopeless hands, blackened heart is stitched and sewn

Mind is fading
Going crazy (now)

I feel dead inside
An empty soul
And what was once my life
Is unhallowed

I will not collapse, strong against the pressure
This final relapse, defiant gesture
Headstrong I overcome, lion’s den of enemies
Tight lips, play dumb, in the belly of the beast

Unbound rage, the punishment of concrete
Pure in hate, malevolence I will defeat

Solo: Kiełtyka

From crimson sky, I am this dark eternity

Solo: Flynn

New life begins
When darkness dies, I’m born again
These frozen bones remind me I’m so
Cold and alone
For the shame I’ve caused this throne
Broken crown, weighs me down
But my demons I can’t drown

Solo: Flynn, Kiełtyka

I feel no one will ever listen
The remnants of an empty soul
The ghost of monumental failure
Unhallowed

    We can't deny it, musicians who simply go live for free every week for their fans are few! hands down for Machine Head!
  • @darku666
    Loving soooooo much the vocals, and the lyrics are heartbreaking. I’ve been dealing with a strong depression since my girlfriend died due suicide. Machine Head It has helped me in the darkest moments when I have seriously thought about taking my own life. Thank you Robb, Vogg, Jared, Matt, all of you.
  • @tomtucker1984
    Possibly the best MH chorus I've ever heard, Robb and Jared's vocals together are outstanding.
  • @MacGyver_Lamb
    Well damn. Machine Head comes out of no where with one of the best tracks they've released in years 🤘
  • I love Rob and Jared singing in harmony. It just works. This album is shaping up as a killer entry to the catalogue.
  • @kornkidcm
    This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard
  • @mootkickee
    man I’ve just got a ton of respect for Robb. He just does what he wants, and this is such an epic fucking song. he knows exactly what his vocal capabilities are, and exploits them to perfection. say what you will about him, but that man can write ✍️
  • @xx2
    I am suffering from depression , anxiety and OCD .... I know Robb understanding this issues .... Robb Flynn is gonna be always one of the best songwriters and riffs machine EVER .... I love everything whats he is created and creating and will create .... RIFF LORD
  • @epete425
    Great song guys. I'm 36 years old. Machine Head was my first metal concert when I was 16 years old. Been a fan ever since. I've never missed a Seattle show. I've waited outside the venue in Seattle for Robb to come out two different times at El Corazon over the years. Each times he's taken a pic with me, signed a autograph, and chatted with me for a bit. He's a great dude. Always humble and patient with fans after a long set. He doesn't have to stick around to do that each time. I'll be a fan for life and support them forever.
  • @ligialima3342
    I just can't stop listening to this track. Great job, guys ♥
  • One of the most touching and emotional Metal tracks ever. Michał, a sober alcoholic.
  • @mOnStErMACEO
    Yessssssss!!!!!!!! When Phil Demmel left most headaches though the Machine would slow to a hault. NEVER!!!! Rob got this. In Flynn we trust!!! Nice job!!!!
  • Machine Head has always been about Robb doing what he wants, some love it, some hate it. I love the way that their sound and style evolve, each album is unique yet still sounds like MH. This song sounds a lot like Unto the locust style riffs, so groovy, so melodic, with a lot of dynamics but stills heavy in their own way. Can't wait for the full album! Greetings from México 🤘🏽
  • @RickerbyMusic
    The best track they've done in years! Love this stripped down version as well 🤟
  • @jamesmonro130
    This song is the perfect pitch between the sounds of Through The Ashes and Blackening. It's got great groove and a massive chorus with probably the best vocal harmonisation I've heard from Machine Head. The studio version is immense and this live version totally shows how good it will be live. I literally have chills about how that vocal bridge ("...so cold and alone...") is going to sound when it's being sung by a packed stadium. I seriously cannot get enough of that crescendo. Cannot wait for September; BEERS UP!!! It's going to be a killer start to the UK tour in Nottingham!!!
  • @ofirarnon2227
