MACHINE HEAD stellen ein weiteres Stück von ihrer neuen Scheibe „ØF KINGDØM AND CRØWN“ vor. Das Video zu `UNHALLØWED´ ist im Rahmen der “Electric Happy Hour” Serie entstanden. Erscheinungstermin für das 13 Tracks schwere Konzeptalbum ist dann der 26. August.
Der neue Song wird wie folgt kommentiert:
„Drowning in the deepest depression of his life, Eros is at a breaking point. Collecting heartaches, loss, and near psychotic isolation, “UNHALLØWED” is the beginning of a powerful shift of our story. An introspective narrative starts the song lyrically, which is a collaborative effort written by myself, Guitarist Wacław „Vogg“ Kiełtyka, and Bassist/Backing Vocalist Jared MacEachern and encapsulates the collective strength of this writing team. Anchored by an absolutely monstrous groove, the vocals melodically mirror the state of mind of Eros as he reels from the loss of his mother to a drug overdose and begins a slow downward spiral into madness. However, the culmination of the track infuses some much-needed light, but will it be enough?”

Lyrics:
I feel no one will ever listen
The remnants of an empty soul
The ghost of monumental failure
Unhallowed
I lay in bed awake, the anguish slowly aches
I’m starring at a dark abyss and wondering why…
Crawling back to the womb, my depression a tomb, there’s a fog inside my mind
So much hatred and doom, when the dead roses bloom, as I sabotage my pride
Mind is fading
Going crazy (now)
I feel dead inside
An empty soul
And what was once my life
Is unhallowed
I feel no one will ever listen
The remnants of an empty soul
The ghost of monumental failure
Unhallowed
Time slipping through my hands, like granules of sand
This rusted razor blade is looking all too kind
When I close my eyes, thoughts of suicide, there’s an ache inside my soul
Just a shell of a man, in these hopeless hands, blackened heart is stitched and sewn
Mind is fading
Going crazy (now)
I feel dead inside
An empty soul
And what was once my life
Is unhallowed
I will not collapse, strong against the pressure
This final relapse, defiant gesture
Headstrong I overcome, lion’s den of enemies
Tight lips, play dumb, in the belly of the beast
Unbound rage, the punishment of concrete
Pure in hate, malevolence I will defeat
Solo: Kiełtyka
From crimson sky, I am this dark eternity
Solo: Flynn
New life begins
When darkness dies, I’m born again
These frozen bones remind me I’m so
Cold and alone
For the shame I’ve caused this throne
Broken crown, weighs me down
But my demons I can’t drown
Solo: Flynn, Kiełtyka
I feel no one will ever listen
The remnants of an empty soul
The ghost of monumental failure
Unhallowed
