Machine Head release 3-track single ‘Arrows In Words From The Sky’

MACHINE HEAD have released a 3-track digital single!

The release features brand new songs Rotten, Arrows In Words From The Sky and leading track, Become The Firestorm. It follows a string of stand-alone releases that MACHINE HEAD have dropped since their 2018 album, Catharsis, including most recent single, My Hands Are Empty.

The digital single was written against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic and amidst the passing of frontman/guitarist Robb Flynn‘s mother. The songs represent one of the darkest chapters in MACHINE HEAD history.
About the release, Flynn says, “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.”
