MACHINE HEAD’s Robb Flynn and Jared MacEachern were in Sharkbite Studios in Oakland, California last week with producer Zack Ohren working on the band’s tenth studio album.  The effort is expected to arrive at some point next summer.

According to frontman Robb Flynn and bassist MacEachern, they are “making great progress on at least six different new songs, including a 10-minute-plus epic.”

Over the summer, MACHINE HEAD released the “Arrows In Words From The Sky” single. Featuring the tracks “Become The Firestorm”, “Rotten” and “Arrows In Words From The Sky”, the songs were laid down at Sharkbite. Joining Flynn and MacEachern during the sessions were drummer Navene Koperweiss (ENTHEOS, WHITECHAPEL, ANIMALS AS LEADERS) and Ohren.

In November 2020, MACHINE HEAD released a new single, “My Hands Are Empty”, via Nuclear Blast which featured original “Burn My Eyes” guitarist Logan Mader.

According to Flynn, all three tracks from “Arrows In Words From The Sky” single — “Become The Firestorm”, “Rotten” and the title track — as well as “My Hands Are Empty”, will be included on MACHINE HEAD’s next full-length studio album. “And the other stuff is just gonna stay kind of in whatever void it came out in — and probably be released on a collection of songs with a bunch of other B-sides at some point, a physical version,” he told the “Behind The Vinyl” podcast in June. “But for now, these four songs, and then some future songs, are gonna make up the next record.”
