San Francisco Bay Area metal titans MACHINE HEAD, will release their highly anticipated new album »Catharsis« tomorrow, on January 26 via Nuclear Blast Entertainment. Today, the band has released the official lyric video for the opening track, 'Volatile'. Surf to: https://youtu.be/rZDgNYoo5zY
The pounding track featuring sociocritical lyrics is dedicated to Heather D. Heyer who lost her life in during a protest against neo-nazism and white supremacy in Charlottesville, VA in August 2017.
“I feel like metal could really infiltrate the mainstream with this album. And it needs to... now more than ever. A lot of consideration went into making these songs more identifiable to a wider audience. Simplifying ideas, simplifying hooks, really concentrating on story-telling as opposed to ‘brutal poetry’ or whatever. And while I’d love to say it was all some grand plan, there was no ‘plan’” Flynn adds laughing. “You never know where you’re going to end up whenever you start writing a record... you just write... but I tell ya what... we ended up with a landmark here. Whenever you finish an album, you always feel proud, but this time... we’ve got something really special. We can feel it. We know it. »Catharsis« could really elevate our genre."
