MACHINE HEAD Releases New 3-Track Digital Single "ARROWS IN WORDS FROM THE SKY"

Posted on June 18, 2021 by Machine Head

Bay Area metal titans MACHINE HEAD have released a 3-track digital single titled “Arrows In Words From The Sky” today. The release features 3 new songs, “Rotten,” “Arrows In Words From The Sky” and the single “Become The Firestorm.” Written against the backdrop of a once-in-a-century pandemic, and the long and painful death of frontman / guitarist Robb Flynn’s mother, these 3 songs represent one of the darkest chapters in MACHINE HEAD history.

And while songs like blistering opening track “Become The Firestorm” seethe with an apocalyptic anger, the 3-track single closes with one of the most transcending songs in the MH arsenal in title track “Arrows In Words From The Sky”

Flynn states:

“The lyrics to these songs took to me places inside I didn’t want to go, from the bile and negativity on “Rotten,” to nothing-will-beat-me-down fury of “Become The Firestorm,” to the title track “Arrows” being one of the saddest songs I’ve ever written, yet somehow has the power to lift me up out of what was a very dark time in my life. My hope is that by sharing these dark experiences with the Head Cases of the world, it can save someone else out of that same dark place.”

“Arrows In Words From The Sky” follows a string of tracks MACHINE HEAD has released since 2018’s “Catharsis,” including the recent single “My Hands Are Empty.”
