MACHINE HEAD's colossal tenth album, the immense and unapologetic, ØF KINGDØM AND CRØWN, is out now via Nuclear Blast Records X Imperium Recordings. ORDER: LISTEN: '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. MACHINE HEAD - ØF KINGDØM AND CRØWN Track Listing: 1.

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 #MACHINEHEAD #ØFKINGDØMANDCRØWN #HeavyMetal #Metal #NuclearBlast #NuclearBlastRecords
