\nMACHINE HEAD’s writing process for their new album has taken longer than expected, forcing the outfit to push back their recording plans. The band were originally scheduled to enter Green Day\u2018s own Jingletown Recording Studios to begin tracking the effort on October 30th. That didn\u2019t happen though as the band are now due in the studio in February to begin tracking the effort for a release on Nuclear Blast Entertainment.<\/p>\n
Band frontman\/guitarist Robb Flynn explained:<\/p>\n
\u201cAs you may have noticed there aren\u2019t any, \u201chey, were in the recording studio\u201d updates happening. That\u2019s because were not!<\/p>\n
A few Journals ago I said we\u2019d hit the studio at end of October, and while we tried our damnedest to make that deadline, the fact is, we weren\u2019t ready.<\/p>\n
We started writing in January of this year but between the bassist auditions, teaching Jared all the old tunes, rehearsing for headline dates, doing Mayhem, getting Jared up to speed on the new tunes, and back into writing mode in September, we just didn\u2019t have the songs yet. We probably only wrote music for 4 out of those 9 months, if we went in, it would have been rushed.<\/p>\n
This is an important record for us. With a new label, a new member, and this being the follow up to \u201cLocust\u201d all eyes are on us. This record cannot be rushed or hurried, it needs to be great. It needs to be classic Machine Head. It needs to be a timeless album.<\/p>\n
Our new label, Nuclear Blast agreed and said \u201chey, if it comes out in April or August, who cares? In 5 years, they\u2019re only going to remember if it\u2019s great or not.\u201d<\/p>\n
It was refreshing and we were grateful that\u2019s how they felt.<\/p>\n
We are now going in the studio the first week of February, 2014.<\/p>\n
We already have 5 or 6 song demoed, some are in more finished stages than others, so we\u2019ll continue demoing through the New Year. Shit, who am I kidding? We\u2019ll probably be demoing up until the day before we hit the studio, LOL!<\/p>\n
Thanks for the patience my friends\u201d
