KHOMA – THE SECOND WAVE With less than a week away it’s time for the world to find out what Roadrunner UK has been so excited about over the past 6 months. If you haven’t heard Khoma already please CLICK & BURN. If you want more info check out the bands website KHOMA.NET. But hey, don’t take our word for it! ROOM13 have just posted a review of the album. Here is an extract “The whole album is a perfect creation of crossed over styles and influences, powerful melodies and expressive, creatively driven heavy music that packs such feeling and emotion that you will be blown away by it. A unique marriage of the sounds of Tool, Sigur Ros and Candlemass amongst others, Khoma show that sometimes delicacy and feeling is more powerful then the raging aggressive approach that most hardcore bands take nowadays. Khoma take heavy music to an entirely more creative and sensitive level then anyone has ever dared to before and are the perfect example of how the best bands are those created just to write and play music, not just those who play just to “make it”.” CLICK HERE to read the full review DON’T FORGET: Khoma – The Second Wave – Streets April 3rd

Undoubtedly one of the greatest metal albums of all time, Robb Flynn is promising the MH equivalent. Machine Head frontman Robert Flynn has revealed to Kerrang! magazine that death is a common theme on a number of the new songs that the band are currently working on. “We’ve got about five songs right now that I’m stoked with,” says Flynn. “There are songs about suicide and death. I read a letter by this soldier who was over in Iraq, who had written to his mother after he got shot in a battle. He came to the conclusion that he was dying and ended up giving the letter to his buddy to pass on. “It went ‘as I die here understand that my blood is on his hands,’ and I turned that into lyrics,” he adds. “It was one of the most poignant things I’d ever read. Our goal is to write the ‘Master of Puppets’ for this generation.” The follow-up to ‘Through the Ashes of Empires’ is expected out in 2007 on Roadrunner Records. Courtesy Of Blabbermouth
