Robb Flynn: ”Uudet Machine Headin kappaleet ovat todella raskaita”

Yhdysvaltalaisen groove metal -yhtye Machine Headin kitaristi-laulaja Robb Flynn on antanut hiljattain Mosh Talks With Beezille haastattelun, jossa on kertonut kuluttaneensa koronaviruksen luoman keikkatauon kirjoittaen uutta musiikkia yhtyeelleen. Robin mukaan hän on tällä hetkellä varsin ärsyyntynyt monistakin eri asioista, ja se on heijastunut myös uusien kappaleiden lyriikoihin ja riffeihin. Robin mukaan bändi tulee julkaisemaan varsin pian uusia raskaita kappaleita, joista hän kertoi seuraavaa:

”I walk around in a fury all day. I walk around in a fucking rage all day, and the lyrics that I write, and the music that I’ve been writing, all of it is very reflective of that. And even if the music isn’t super thrash or whatever you wanna call it, the lyrics are pissed off as fuck.

As you get older in a band, the best option is to just shut your mouth and make middle-of-the-road statements that don’t really offend anybody and not really take a stand on anything as opposed to when you’re young and full of piss and vinegar and you don’t give a fuck. I think it becomes the logical choice, because why rock the boat? It’s like what happens to you when you become old — people tend to become more conservative; they don’t wanna do things that might offend people.

I’m definitely nowhere near the middle of the road right now. I am just in a whole other place. And I’m sure I’ll lose fans because of it, at least for a little while. I think they’ll come back, and if they don’t, then thanks for listening for the time you did. But this is what I’ve gotta say, and this is where we have to go, and this is the place that MACHINE HEAD is at.”
