San Francisco Bay Area metallers MACHINE HEAD are scheduled to begin demoing material today (Thursday,Conor Sheary Jersey, April 11) for the follow-up to 2011's "Unto The Locust" with engineer Juan Urteaga of Trident Studios in Pacheco,Gump Worsley Jersey, California. The band's vocalist/guitarist Robb Flynn writes on the band's official web site: "[MACHINE HEAD drummer Dave] McClain and I had a really good jam session on Monday. It was one of those jam days where you feel a breakthrough happen, a day where,Kris Draper Jersey, for no apparent reason,Stan Mikita Jersey, several things fall into place and start to make sense. It is an amazing-yet-hard-to-explain feeling, but you know that a huge chunk of progress just happened! New riffs flowed,Bobby Smith Jersey, new ideas materialized and new concepts explored. It was definitely one of 'those' days."He added: "We had one more day of rehearsals yesterday and we'll start demoing the new tunes today with my trusty engineer Juan from Trident Studios manning Da Tools. "Phil [Demmel, MACHINE HEAD guitarist] begins his Jackson Guitars clinic tour overseas for a couple weeks, so it's a perfect time to demo. I tend to take over the jam room when demoing,Bryan Rust Jersey, so rehearsals fall by the wayside as I track and experiment with a million different ideas."MACHINE HEAD in February parted ways with bassist Adam Duce. Flynn explained in an online posting: "We may have fired Adam on [February 11], but Adam quit MACHINE HEAD well over a decade ago. He just never bothered to tell anyone… but we all knew it." A replacement bassist has not yet been announced.MACHINE HEAD's most recent studio album,Mike Palmateer Jersey, "Unto The Locust", sold more than 17,Lanny McDonald Jersey,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 22 on The Billboard 200 chart — putting MACHINE HEAD in the Top 25 for the first time in the band's 17-year history. |
