Robb Flynn erklärt den Albumtitel BLOODSTONE & DIAMONDS so, dass der Blutstein in vielen Kulturen gegen das Böse schütze und ein Symbol für Gerechtigkeit sei, während Diamanten das härteste natürliche Material der Welt sei, was auch auf die Musik zutreffe.

Weiter führt Robb Flynn zum neuen Machine Head-Album aus:

„I cannot even begin to tell you how proud we are of this album. It’s been a heck of a ride. It looked like it might not ever happen again at one point, but man, this album is a milestone for us.

Without getting too philosophical on ya, bloodstone and diamonds represent two of the hardest materials on earth. It is also a lyric from the opening track of the album, ‚Now We Die‘.

In many cultures, the bloodstone has been used as an amulet to protect against evil, and is the symbol of justice. Diamonds are the hardest natural material on earth (which is how we feel about our music), and it also represents the diamond logo I drew 22 years ago (in my wife’s apartment on Dover St. in Oakland) that has become the symbol for the band.“
