Ah Machine Head. Robb Flynn and co have been on quite the journey over the last ten years, ever since releasing their magnum opus of The Blackening. Their most recent album Bloodstone & Diamonds contained some great songs but couldn’t quite escape the feeling that what was a good album should have been a great…
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…
If there weren’t already enough great tours for UK metal fans to spend their money on this Autumn, Californian deathcore masters Suicide Silence have just announced their return to these shores! They’re going to be teaming up with German metal veterans Caliban for six shows across England and Scotland at the end of November, finishing…
Max Cavalera has certainly kept himself busy over the past couple of years. The man has been releasing at least one album per year since 2008, and since September 2013 has released 4 albums, including “Savages”, Cavalera Conspiracy’s “Pandemonium”, Killer Be Killed’s long awaited debut and now “Archangel”, an album that takes the patented post-thrash…
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.

Unfortunately Devil You…
Sometimes with certain bands bits of news are like London Buses. Nothing for ages then two come along at once and that’s exactly what Oakland’s favourite metal residents Machine Head have done with two huge announcements. First of all, the band have confirmed one of their biggest UK tours ever with an eleven date trek…
For those who worship the southern rock infused metal stylings of Pantera and the whole New Orleans circle of the 1990s, there may not have been much in the way of new music to truly look forward to in recent years. While Down have more or less carried off where Pantera left off and hardcore…
One of the most emotional album releases of the year has just been announced. US deathcore group Suicide Silence have just announced the first details of their brand new album, entitled You Can’t Stop Me. The album will be the first from Suicide Silence with their new singer Eddie Hermida (previously of All Shall Perish)…
If this isn’t a good start to the day we don’t know what is! Californian metal favourites Machine Head have just announced their return to the UK for a series of five very special club shows. The venues are places that only hold a few hundred people each, much much smaller than the theatres and…
In what will be an emotional yet popular announcement, Californian deathcore metal band Suicide Silence have announced that next week (November 4th 2013) will see them return to the studio to start work on the band’s first album for two and a half years. The new album will be the first to feature the band’s…
