Machine Head are set to release ninth studio album, “Catharsis” on January 26th, 2018.
The release is available in an array of formats, including a CD/DVD digipak edition which includes concert footage of the band's 2015 show at San Francisco's Regency Ballroom.
Today the band have revealed a video clip of “Now We Die”, taken from that 21-track DVD footage. Check it out below.
You can also listen to a brand new song from the album, titled “Beyond the Pale”, below.
Click here to pre-order various album options, including coloured/picture disc vinyl and a super-collectable deluxe box set.
A full-throttle rollercoaster through every facet of Machine Head's increasingly diverse sound, “Catharsis” looks to be one of 2018's most acclaimed metal records.
“This album is like a movie... a really long movie!”, laughs frontman Robb Flynn. “There are a lot of special songs on this record. I've never really felt like, "Wow, we've got something really special here!" before, but this time I can feel it. I know it. I know some people aren't gonna dig it and that's always the case, so who cares? I dig it”.
“Catharsis” was produced by Robb Flynn and recorded, mixed, and co-produced by Zack Ohren (Fallujah, All Shall Perish) at Sharkbite Studios in Oakland, CA. Mastering was handled by Ted Jensen (Hatebreed, Alice In Chains, Deftones) at Sterling Sound, New York, NY. The album's cover photography was created by Seanen Middleton.
