We’ve already seen Robb Flynn more talkative than in the following interview. But it’s maybe that Unto The Locust, Machine Head’s new album to be issued on the 27th of September, is simply beyond any comment.
One should say that it is a proper success and that the music speaks for itself. With this album, Machine Head essentially made the right choice: Unto The Locust is not a second The Blackening. The 2007 album was indeed a huge success for the band, even leading some to compare it to Hetfield and co.’s Master of Puppets.
How to outdo a work that has been considered a masterwork by the majority? How to fulfil the expectations, when these are in fact unattainable? The answer is partly given by Machine Head themselves: try not to copy the concept, to prevent people from comparing. Obviously, some elements can be compared, the band’s hand is still there. But, even if the frontman seems to exclude any supposed intention, Unto The Locust gains richness of atmosphere where it loses the structure complexity of his older brother. Similarly, this new album reveals a Robb Flynn more adventurous than ever with his voice, as he develops contrasts rarely equalled in his discography.
