Congratulations go out to MACHINE HEAD frontman Robert Flynn and his wife Genevra on the birth of their second son. Wyatt Lee Flynn was born Sunday, January 14 at 4:10 a.m., weighing in at 8 lbs. 12 oz. and measuring 20 3/4″ tall. The couple also have a two-year-old son, Zander. Machine Head‘s forthcoming album ‘The Blackening‘ is bookmarked for a March release and you can see the cover art here: Flynn has previously told The Gauntlet about the artwork, “It’s a metal carving from the 1500s. Back then they used a lot of crude metal carving images? almost as propaganda. It was kind of like scaring people about going to hell or whatever. A lot of it had to do with devils and death and stuff like that. They were eventually banned for a while. “The cover right now is like a skeleton sitting on a throne with his foot on top of the world and he’s holding up a mirror and the mirror says ‘The mirror which flatters not.’ “The reason we chose that image is that this whole record is like holding up a mirror to ourselves. It’s talking about things that are going on now, but it’s not necessarily specific to this time. “There are two songs that have a pretty strong anti-war sentiment, but it’s not the type of thing that’s just about this war, you know what I mean? It’s not necessarily a concept record in that sense, because the songs don’t all tie together thematically. There isn’t a story being told. I probably would have lost my mind if I would have had to tie all the lyrics together (laughs). It is about holding up a mirror to society.” The final track list appears as follows. 01.
