“Do Or Die” was produced by MACHINE HEAD frontman Robb Flynn and Zack Ohren (FALLUJAH, ALL SHALL PERISH) at Sharkbite Studios in Oakland, California. It was mixed by Russ Russell (AT THE GATES, NAPLAM DEATH, SIKTH) at Parlour Studios in the United Kingdom. The mastering was handled by Gene Grimaldi at Oasis Mastering in Burbank, California.

“Do Or Die” was recorded last December by Flynn, bassist Jared MacEachern and WARBRINGER drummer Carlos Cruz.

Cruz stepped in to play on “Do Or Die” following the departure of MACHINE HEAD’s longtime drummer Dave McClain.

“I had just been wanting to make music, and so right after we got done with the last tour, I was, like, ‘I’ve gotta make music,‘” Flynn explained during an August Facebook Live session. “I had all these fucking songs written for months now, since April of last year, and I wanted to go and write them and record them and jam them with the dudes. So my engineer Zack arranged for Carlos Cruz, who is the drummer for WARBRINGER. He played in POWER TRIP — an awesome new, modern thrash band. Sick-ass drummer — awesome drummer. Young guy, really cool. He came up and jammed with Jared (MacEachern, bass) and I. He just fucking killed it. It was awesome playing with him. And it really inspired me, kind of brought me out of my funk. I’d been really wanting to write new music for a while, and it was just right place, right time. The dude was amazing, and I can never be grateful enough for everything that he brought to the table. Awesome dude.”

Flynn said that MACHINE HEAD’s session with Cruz yielded about four or five new “jams.” “Not all the songs got finished, but it was just cool fleshing them out,” he said. “And so it gave me a lot of time to work on ’em, sing vocals, all this stuff.“
