Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Clenching the Fists of Dissent by Machine Head

Today's Metal Track is Clenching the Fists of Dissent by Machine Head. This is the opening track off of their killer 2007 album The Blackening. This is an anti-war song written about the post 9/11 environment and the Iraqi war.

So how do they sleep?
While our mothers weep
They're selling our souls
And our blood for oil

Robert Flynn said that this track was one of the most difficult songs to record. "...he attributed the difficulty to the amount of tracks; the introduction of the song has 90, including multiple three-part harmony with two guitars, 20 tracks of snare drum, four tracks of kick drum, and military marching cymbals. The song continues with five electric guitars, three acoustic guitars and two bass guitars."
