MACHINE HEAD // To Release Single ‘Is Anybody Out There?’

Bay-Area modern metal outfit Machine Head will release a new stand-alone single on 3 June, Is Anybody Out There?, via all streaming services and digital music platforms.

You can stream the song now at Sirius XM.

Guitarist and vocalist Robb Flynn says “The song is about love, loneliness, racism, and not getting what is going on in the world/America…It’s very much about current events, but applies to a bigger picture.”

Lyrics mention Robb being “ashamed of the racists I used to call brothers,” a possible allusion to Flynn’s calling out of Down frontman Phil Anselmo who gave a Nazi salute at the Dimebash in January of this year.

Machine Head’s recent LP, Bloodstone & Diamonds, is out now via Nuclear Blast Entertainment. The album was produced by Robb Flynn & Juan Urteaga. The album was mixed by Colin Richardson & Andy Sneap (Carcass, Nevermore, Trivium) with additional tracking, editing, and mixing completed by Steve Lagudi.
