Somewhere in England right now an ex-iTunes employee is looking for a new gig. Yesterday, the British outlet of Apple’s online entertainment retail outlet posted 2 brand new Machine Head songs as pre-order bonuses for anyone purchasing the band’s new album Bloodstone & Diamonds. The tracks are the first two cuts on the record, the album version of the song the band already publicly previewed the demo of “Killers and Kings” and the brand new, epic album opener “Now We Die.”

Listen to “Now We Die” here below.

Still no word on a release date, but at least Machine Head has finally given us the title and artwork for their highly anticipated new album. The follow-up to their 2011 monster hit Unto The Locust is to be titled Bloodstone and Diamonds.

The album will be the first to feature new bassist Jared MacEachern. The band split very publicly and acrimoniously with founding bassist Adam Duce and have been embroiled in a nasty lawsuit with him that was recently settled out of court on undisclosed terms.
