Machine Head:"Halo", (from the album "The Blackening", 2007):
This is a call to arms,
will you stand beside me?
This is our time to fight,
no more compromising
And this blackened heart will sing
For sad solidarity
Halo over our demise
Following a god so blind
Sallow in their sickening
Swallow not, the shit they feed
This is a right to life,
not the Religious Right´s act
This is abortion´s knife,
aiming at the womb of
The Christian conspiracy
So open thine eyes and see, the
Halo over our demise
Following a god so blind
Sallow in their sickening
Swallow not, the shit they feed
Our time will come, our time will come
Our time is now, our time is now
And I won´t pray for you
Halo over our demise
Following a god so blind
Sallow in their sickening
Swallow not, the shit they feed
Your words will never hold us down
Prayers won´t be spared on you
Satisfaction denied
´Til you´re dead and gone
Gone
Dead and gone!
You´re gone!
(lyrics: Robb Flynn)

(I remember quite well, when Oakland´s Machine Head back in 1994 released their classic thrash metal-debut "Burn my eyes" and sent positive shockwaves through the metal-audience....an absolutely unforgettable moment in the history of heavy metal :-) But to be honest, I´ve never listened that much to Machine Head since then....
A little time ago I was offered a copy of Machine Head´s "The blackening"-album at a cheap price, and I couldn´t really say no...."The blackening" has received a lot of fine reviews, but to be honest again, the album seemed to me a little bit boring the very first time I listened to it....But luckily "The blackening" is one of those albums, which grows by every listening, and now I definitely find the album well-entertaining :-) Especially a melodic yet aggressive track like "Halo".
Robb Flynn & Co.´s newest album "Unto the locust" was released 3 months ago, and I´ll buy a copy, that´s for sure, cheap or not cheap :-)
Kind regards
Carsten
