\nBay Area Metal Titans MACHINE HEAD, have released the fifth video blog documenting the making of their eighth full-length album Bloodstone & Diamonds, here<\/a>. The band\u2019s Nuclear Blast Entertainment debut will be released on November 7 (Europe) and November 10, 2014 (N. America\/UK) on several physical and digital formats. Bloodstone & Diamonds was once again produced by Robb Flynn himself and Juan Urteaga (TESTAMENT, VILE), and like the last 7 out of 8 albums, was masterfully mixed by Colin Richardson (CARCASS, BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE, SLIPKNOT, BEHEMOTH). Additional tracking, editing, and mixing was done with heavy metal legend Andy Sneap (EXODUS, ARCH ENEMY, MEGADETH) who also launched his career co-mixing Machine Head\u2019s 2nd album \u201cThe More Things Change\u201d, and Steve Lagudi. <\/p>\n
\u201cI cannot even begin to tell you how proud we are of this album,\u201d comments frontman Robb Flynn. \u201cIt\u2019s been a heck of a ride, but man, this album is a milestone for us. You\u2019re going to love it Head Cases.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWithout getting too philosophical on ya, bloodstone and diamonds represent two of the hardest materials on earth, it is also a lyric from the opening track of the album \u2018Now We Die\u2019. In many cultures the bloodstone has been used as an amulet to protect against evil, and is the symbol of justice. Diamonds and are hardest natural material on earth (which is how we feel about our music), and it also represents the diamond logo I drew 22 years ago (in my wife\u2019s apartment on Dover St. in Oakland) that has become the symbol for the band.\u201d
