"'Now We Die' has officially leaked

"And why am I telling you this information?

"Information that just a few years ago, labels and bands would have been trying their hardest to pull down from torrent sites and flag YouTube channels?

"Because in 2014 you just have to own shit like this.

"Own it…and move on.

"John Lennon once sang 'life is what happens, while you're making other plans…'

"That's right my friends, 'Now We Die', the first track and lead single off of 'Bloodstone & Diamonds' has officially leaked, three weeks ahead of its originally scheduled October 10th release date as a digital single.

"Mindbogglingly, it was leaked via an iTunes UK pre-order page that 'someone' fucked up on (and who is about to be fucking fired!) that basically said, 'pre-order MACHINE HEAD's new album and get TWO free songs.'

"Oh yeah, that's right, the official album version of 'Killers & Kings' has leaked too.

"Un-fucking-believable.

"We are FURIOUS.

"Imagine what a total shock it was to the band and our new label, Nuclear Blast Entertainment.

"I found out about it when a friend of mine from the UK texted me saying, 'Dude, 'Now We Die' is KIIIIILLLLLLLER,' I went "uh, how did you hear it…?"

"Regardless, there is no sense fighting it. The Internet is the speed of light nowadays, and you know, what? That's a good thing.

"It had only been localized to the iTunes UK site, (meaning: nowhere else in the iTunes World had a 'Bloodstone & Diamonds' pre-order page even up to be seen) but let's face it, it was only a matter of hours before it went all over torrent sites and YouTube, so us and our label have made the bold decision to follow suit with the UK iTunes page, and offer the 2 songs as a 'gratis' purchase when you pre-order the album from any worldwide iTunes site.

"It is going up on Spotify as soon as humanly possible.

"And we've taken it one step further.

"We have decided to upload both 'Now We Die' and 'Killers & Kings' to our own YouTube channels for anyone who wants to hear both songs for FREE, without a pre-order. This is our way of saying 'thank you' to our fans in the U.S. for their patience and understanding in our difficult decision to postpone our U.S. tour.

"We hope these songs show a glimpse of what we've worked on over many months of recording to achieve. Our hope is that this represents why we are taking so much pride and putting in the extra effort and workmanship into creating something we feel is truly special.

"There is no half-stepping in MACHINE HEAD. It's all or nothing.

"And if you like it, we want you to SHARE IT! We've told the distributors specifically 'do not take down fan YT channels with 'Now We Die'.' Spread the word on your own YouTube channels, post it on your friends Facebook pages and feeds, make your own tribute pages, make your own lyric videos, make parody videos, post your own guitar videos of it, post your own singing videos.

"We want to post YOUR videos of these songs too!!

"Pre-order pages for Nuclear Blast will be coming in the next few hours, it may be up on your iTunes now, but either way, we are going to turn this into a positive for the fans.

"We cannot wait to share the rest of the record with you."

Wow, you get two free songs from the album when you pre-order the album...:err:

(unless one or both are not gonna be on it)
(I know you get them 'early' but really, it's not free if you're paying...just saying)

The songs have leaked and I just read earlier that the band is posting them on their personal YT channel since everyone will have them anyway.

Never got into these guys though. A bit boring for my taste.
 
If I where to produce them i would have brought out the sissor and cut many songs in half. Many good ideas but usually they get lost in allot of wankery. Take Halo for instance. Isn't that song like 9min? Could have easily been like 4-5tops.
 
If Rob Flynn and Zakk Wylde wrote an album together, it would consist solely of pinch and natural harmonics until the end of time. Seriously cannot figure out why every Machine Head song has to have a bunch of harmonics in it.
 
The mix is insanely tasty and rules on all ends. Wow.
Edit: Loud solo is loud though.

Song is killer too...Machine Head is always hit or miss for me, either I love the track or totally don't get into it.

It's the vocals, I just can't get into it. Robb sounds like he's been overcoming a speech impediment over the last 2 decades.

:lol:

I'm surprised myself that I began to dig them at some point hehe
 
Anyone ever notice how far apart the drummer's kick drums are? Looks weird haha
Imperium was my jam back in the day.
 
I really wish MH's songs would be better, the CR productions are pure pleasure to listen to, this sounds AMAZING. Unfortunately there's just something that turns me off them.
