Rob Flynn ha ido a clases de canto con el profesor de Lady Gaga y Mick Jagger, en fin...
[quote:11lssqiz]Speaking in the San Francisco Chronicle, Flynn revealed he'd enrolled in singing lessons and even re-learned elements of playing guitar for the recording.
He said: "I think we've really taken our music to next level with this. We feel super excited about it. I started taking some singing lessons with the guy who worked with Mick Jagger and Lady Gaga. And then I took some classical guitar. I wanted to feel like a beginner again and not be comfortable and see what that brought out."[/quote:11lssqiz]

"Locust" lyrics:
Sweet caress
Grazes my skin
It's loveless
These hooks sink in
Behind an angel's disguise
An insect preys
Mandibles cut like a knife
A reckoning
Forming clouds
Their shadow shrouds
Louder the tattered wings they sound
Descending down
Down they come
The swarm of locusts
Skies above
Converge to choke us
Feast of souls
Consume the harvest
Young and old
Suffer unto the locust
Surrender
These veins are bled
Devoured
Nothing sacred
Strings pull the marionettes
See how they dance
Upon the winds that beget
Our pestilence
Forming clouds
Their shadow shrouds
Louder the tattered wings they sound
Descending down
Down they come
The swarm of locusts
Skies above
Converge to choke us
Feast of souls
Consume the harvest
Young and old
Suffer unto the locust
Bleeding from my eyes
This plague is sent to erase us
Bleeding from inside
These vermin can't infiltrate us
Faith appears and holds a candle
Hark the angels sing
Forming clouds
Their shadow shrouds
Louder the tattered wings they sound
Tear the veil
The lies derail
Purity ever will prevail
Trumpets sound
The shattered crown
Halos of truth now they surround
The charade comes down
Down they come
The swarm of locusts
Skies above
Converge to choke us
Feast of souls
Consume the harvest
Young and old
Suffer unto the locust

Track by track de Phil Demmel
[quote:2ed83aoj]01. I Am Hell (Sonata In C#) consisting of three parts I) Sangre Sani (Blood Saint) II) I Am Hell and III) Ashes To The Sky
"I Am Hell", the opener, is actually a sonata. It's a song in three parts, and it's the pyromaniac song that I was talking about. You know, it's the most brutal song MACHINE HEAD has ever written. It's got to at least be eight minutes long. So, it starts off with, you know, I'm not going to break down the music too much. I mean it's still pretty early before the record comes out but it's a three-part tune.
02. Be Still And Know
"Be Still And Know", which is, uh, kind of a few riffs that I threw together that kind of got shelved for a minute, got put away, and got brought back from the dead when I came in one day and those guys were kind of jamming on it. It kind of got some chest compressions, and it got brought back to life. Epic jam. It's about struggle, and overcoming struggle, and knowing that the light at the end of the tunnel is only there if that light shines inside of you. The title wasÂ… Like, my grandmother handed down all of her grandchildren bible verses in all their Easter cards and Christmas cards. She used to sign one to each, and mine was Psalm 46, which is, "Be still, and know that I'm the Lord". Basically, be steadfast. Know that you will get through, and this shall pass. It kind of fit into the tune and kind of fit into the chorus. I mean, I got it tattooed on my arm around eight years ago. So, it's been kind of my mantra through my life. So, I'm really stoked that Robb chose to title the song that.
03. Locust
"Locust", is a concept I came up with, based on a few people I have encountered in my life, just like everybody has. The type of person that just comes into your life under a different guise, under false pretenses, to befriend you, be your buddy, be your man, be on your team, or, you know, to be your lover or whatever. Their goal is just to soak up all your resources and just to drain you of all you've got, whatever you have to offer. Once they're discovered, they fly off into the next crop and drain that of everything. Yeah, it just feels like hell.
04. This Is The End
"This Is The End", a burner, one of the faster MACHINE HEAD songs ever. (laughs) Robb and David [McClain, drums] got together, and we took a break from everything after touring for three years. We took about a six-month break, got back together, and wrote this song. It's really fast. Kind of a death metal song, but it's got the classical sound like a death metal tune. The whole record has kind of neo-classical feel to it. The song, Robb's going to have to describe the lyrics. It's basically about people kind of living and not being able to accept present times and moving on to things.
05. The Darkness Within
"The Darkness Within", this song is probably the biggest departure of our record, in terms of when we did "Descend The Shades Of Night" on "Through The Ashes". It's kind of a ballad, with acoustic guitars. This one I'm going to leave up to something of a surprise. All of my friends that aren't kind of into metal say, "Damn, is that you guys?" It's a beautiful, beautiful song. Still heavy, but us growing as musicians. It has my favorite, the best solo I've ever done for this band, so far, dripping with emotion. I'll leave it at that.
06. Pearls For Swine
"Pearls For Swine", which was a song about addiction. It was a song without lyrics really for a while, without a concept. We kind of came up with an idea to write about addicts and addiction, when talking to each other and watching "Breaking Bad" episodes to kind of catch up and start again to see it. (laughs) It's not a song about hope. It's just a song about being in the throes of addiction, in its claws, and a lot of my lyrics are in there. So, there's a lot of descriptive thoughts of addiction. It's not a song of hope for sure. It's not "Stairway To Heaven". It's not a song of hope for sure.
07. Who We Are
And the last song is a song called "Who We Are", which another song that Robb wrote. He and Dave kind of had it before I started writing for the record. I took some time off last year to deal with some personal stuff. This one and the other one I talked about earlier are the two that Robb had already written and brought. You know, he had all this music pouring out of him, and he had to get it outÂ…so. Yeah, I don't know really how to describe those two, so I'm going to refrain from doing that.[/quote:2ed83aoj]

La primera review del mundo mundial
[quote:2k2jec4t]MACHINE HEAD
‘UNTO THE LOCUST’
ROADRUNNER
San FranciscoÂ’s metal giants up the ambition to Biblical proportions
TRULY iconic metal bands come along only once or twice in each generation, and if Metallica and Slayer are the groups who stand tallest from the 1980s, then surely Slipknot and Machine Head are their 1990s equivalents. All four came out of the blocks with planet-levelling intensity, endured periods off the creative boil and finally attained ‘classic’ status – but of the four, only Machine Head can honestly claim to still be making the best music of their lives. And make no mistake, that’s what ‘Unto The Locust’ is: the most accomplished album that Robb Flynn, Phil Demmel, Adam Duce and Dave McClain have ever recorded, alongside their two career-framing records, ‘Burn My Eyes’ and ‘The Blackening’. Like the former, ‘Unto The Locust’ boasts a sonic palette overflowing with box-fresh ideas; like the latter, the album is a storm of complex arrangements and riffs, compiled by musicians who have gained absolute command of their vision. It’s a breathtaking work.
Right from the off it’s obvious that Machine Head are out to take chances, and consequences be damned. The three-song ‘I Am Hell’ suite begins with a minute of choral vocals before breaking into one of the huge, fully leaded groove riffs the band have made their trademark. Predictable, you say? Well, less than three minutes later your jaw will have hit the floor, because Machine Head are now playing murderously fast thrash metal. Your favourite metal band, no matter who they are, would find it a challenge to match this immense song, not least because it devolves into harmonised acoustic guitars and strings.
‘Be Still And Know’ follows up this epic opener with an amazing, Joe Satriani-style guitar loop loaded with delay. It’s a beast: the only track under six minutes long on this vast album, and even then, only just. Shredders extraordinaire Robb and Phil are on fire, layering multiple guitar solos just like they did on ‘Aesthetics Of Hate’ last time out.
You’ve heard ‘Locust’ by now, and doesn’t that central riff remind you of ‘The Black Album’-era Metallica? But there are way too many ideas flying about for that reference to stick for long, with the song going in multiple directions. There’s that huge, audience-levelling groove at 3:16 and 6:40, which you’ll play again and again until your ears bleed – and then there’s Robb’s sweet, choirboy tenor. Told you they had a lot of ideas. This applies to ‘This Is The End’, too, a meaty thrash tune for the pit jockeys which features a classical guitar intro.
The core of this fully evolved album is ‘The Darkness Within’, which the Machine Head bandmembers have been reluctant to define in interviews – and with good reason. The first couple of minutes are Robb as Bob Dylan, with lines such as “I’m just a broken man” ripped from him while the song builds with agonising slowness. This is emotion at its rawest, and utterly different from anything we’ve heard from Machine Head to date. After that, the upbeat ‘Pearls Before The Swine’ keeps things going at a ferocious pace. ‘Unto The Locust’ winds up with ‘Who We Are’, an experimental blend of children’s choral vocals, strings and an infectious chord sequence. At 4:13 there’s a maddeningly intense high-speed riff – but it only lasts 10 seconds, the swines…
Cherish ‘Unto The Locust’: you’ll be living with it for a long time. There appears to be no end to Machine Head’s inspiration at this point: God only knows what they’ll come up with next. [10]

un 10? el que escribió esto debe de ser algún capo de roadrunner o algo para hacer publicidad al disco. Espero equivocarme. Dudo que superen al anterior pero quién sabe, estos tíos siempre la lían gorda.

confirmado,, no me gusta nada,,, esos punteillos de dobre guitarra para que phil y robb se pongan espalda contra espalda me tocan los huevos y me aburren,,,
en serio,,,no es que sea tecnica vacia, hay chicha e ideas... pero tanto guitarreillo me cansa una barbaridad,,, aunque hay de todo y algunos temas no son tan churriguerescos.
demasiado largos, son temas elaborados para acabar un disco,, pero todos del mismo palo.... sorprenderá al que le guste eso,,, pero echo en falta un ten ton hammer... es un disco demasiado epico,,, demasiado barroco para lo que para mi representan MH
definitivamente han querido adornarse demasiado, unas ideas cojonudas,,, y unos riffs para mi gusto desaprovechados.... que estoy de acuerdo,,, reconozco las virtudes del disco... pero no creo que me apetezca escucharlo, prefiero throw the ases of empires mil veces antes que este

joder, es que se han metido en terrenos mas cercanos al virtuosismo que al groove...
la parte central de this is the end (para mi la mejor del disco) si tiene un riff marca de la casa,, pero el resto es una locura... al que le guste the blackening lo va a flipar
está claro que machine head se han hecho una nueva reputación en estos terrenos,, este disco puede cerrar una trilogia gloriosa de metal clásico, atemporal, y de una calidad extrema, tanto compositiva como técnica,,, pero añoro los tiempos de the more things change,, parecen dos bandas diferentes... si asumo la idea supongo que disfrutaré este disco.
tanto adorno, tanta intro acústica, tanto coro operístico o infantil hubiera resultado pretencioso de no ser por las grandes melodias que vienen detrás... finalmente las tolero, pero... se nota lo que en lugar de hacer un disco de 7 temas buenos y 4 de relleno,, han dejado solo 7 temas y los han adornado y decorado al máximo.
