As they gear up for the release of their new album Catharsis in just under a month, Machine Head have got a couple of bits of news for us. Firstly, as part of their huge “Evening With” UK tour that is taking place in May 2018, Manchester’s long love affair with Machine Head has been…
Attention Headcases! Machine Head are coming back to the UK! Machine F***ing Head, as they are so affectionately known by their fans, will be heading back to UK shores for ten shows across the country in May, including two nights at London’s Camden Town Roundhouse where they played back-to-back amazing shows back in December 2014….
The next entrant in Rock Sins traditional end of year awards is longtime contributor and senior writer James Halstead. Never one to shy away from a strong opinion or two, here is what James made of 2016’s musical output… Album of the Year – Architects – All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us Taking the blueprint…
Whenever Machine Head reach UK shores, Rock Sins will generally seek them out. We went along to the opening night of their “An Evening With” tour at a new venue for our team, the rather impressive “Open” in Norwich to see how things would unfold. In true Machine Head style, things kicked off with what…
We’ve waited months and now, the time is upon us! The mighty Machine Head return to the UK for eight dates over the next ten days in their first ever UK “An Evening With” tour. No support bands, just an extended set of Machine Head classics old and new alike. Funnily enough, their frontman Robb…

Several…
Bloodstone and Diamonds is certainly one of the more inventive releases of Machine Head’s career and witnesses the band forging forward while retaining a recognizably ‘machine head’ sound. In this respect it is very similar to Lamb of Gods’s 2012 effort ‘Resolution’ which, although largely the sort of Lamb of God album you might expect, also…
With less than seven days to go until one of the most eagerly awaited metal albums of the year is released, Machine Head have cranked up the excitement yet another notch. Ahead of Bloodstone and Diamonds release next Monday, Robb Flynn and co have made another new song available for streaming to enjoy right now!…
Some disappointing news this morning from our good friends over at Nuclear Blast. Devil You Know, Howard Jones of Killswitch Engage fame’s new band, were due to serve as main support to their label mates Machine Head on Robb Flynn and co’s extensive European and UK headline tour kicking off next month. Unfortunately Devil You…
Sometimes with certain bands bits of news are like London Buses.
