For over three decades, the personification of determination, founder/vocalist/guitarist Robb Flynn, has led Bay Area icons MACHINE HEAD on an uncompromising path - one fueled by defiance, reinvention, and a relentless pursuit of evolution. UNAT∅NED, the band's eleventh album, will be unleashed to the world on April 25 via Nuclear Blast Records.
UNAT∅NED is a testament to momentum, an album honed to its sharpest edge, forged on creative discipline and the hunger to push forward. To mark the announcement, the band reveals the first single, "UNB∅UND". Watch the energetic music video directed by Mike Sloat on KNAC.COM HERE.

Written in motion - on the road, in hotel rooms, and across continents - it reflects the raw energy of their return to the global festival circuit after an 11-year hiatus. UNAT∅NED was recorded at Robb's Jam Room, Sharkbite Studios, and Drop Of Sun Recording between July 2023 and December 2024. The album was produced by Robb Flynn as well as Zack Ohren who was also responsible for the engineering. The mixing and mastering was handled by Colin Richardson and Chris Clancy at Audioworks UK and the mastering of the record was handled by Ted Jensen and his assistant Justin Shturtz. The only exception was the track "LANDSCAPE ∅F TH∅RNS" which was produced by Flynn and Joel Wanasek who was also in charge of mixing the single alongside Zack Ohren. MACHINE HEAD once again tapped Seth Siro Anton to create the album artwork.
Eleven albums deep, MACHINE HEAD remains as fierce, relevant, and unstoppable as ever.
