Machine Head has revealed that they will finally enter a studio this Saturday (April 16) to start work on the follow up to 2007’s massive The Blackening. In conjunction with this, the band has released a new six minute video clip called “The Making Of The New Album” online.

In addition to featuring interviews with each band member discussing expectations for the new album, the video also includes behind the scenes footage of the band rehearsing in their practice studio and a sneak peak at possible song titles. You can watch the entire video above.

Machine Head’s seventh as-yet-untitled album is slated for a late Summer release via Roadrunner Records. Who knows, maybe we’ll get to hear a new song live during the band’s set at this year’s Mayhem Fest.
