What you see above, is the first video of Machine Head preparing to record the follow-up to the masterpiece that is ‘The Blackening.’ “Preparing to record…”? Well, let’s call it “The Making of the New Album”, because that’s what Machine Head called this video.
My thoughts on the video? Well, Robb Flynn shares my opinion on Kiss. Demmel told us not to expect a Blackening 2, which is a good thing. I’ve absolutely loved ‘The Blackening,’ and I still do, but I want the Head to move forward and they seem to want the same thing.
“It’s gonna be heavy but melodic, too, you know? It’s gonna be the heaviest thing we’ve ever done” Phil Demmel made me laugh with that line. Every band that ever entered a studio has to say that line at least once before the record gets released. It’s mandatory.
Also, you can read the working titles for 11 songs, that were shown in the video, after the jump. Take into account that they’re working titles and the titles may change. I just hope #5 stays.
