What you see above, is the second video of Machine Head preparing to record the follow-up to the masterpiece that is The Blackening. “Preparing to record…”? Well, let’s call it “The Making of the New Album (Part 2)”, because that’s what Machine Head called this video.
As for rehashing old material, I still really hope that they’re not going to record The Blackening 2 and move forward. I don’t really know what I want from the band, nor what to expect, though. I just want them to kick ass, as they usually do, except for that period I’d like to forget.
As for the video, I really liked the slow motion part of Dave McClain playing the drums, especially with ‘Descend The Shades Of Night’ playing in the background. That’s one of the most epic songs the Head ever wrote.
Still, we don’t get to hear any new music and I’d like them to keep it that way until the album, whatever it may be called, is released. I just like to hear the finished product first and then maybe get a real “Making of” that includes sound with the album. We’ll just have to wait and see (and hear) what comes with the next video.
