Backstage With MACHINE HEAD; Video Available

March 3, 2009

The Metal Nurse of SkullsNBones.com has posted video footage of MACHINE HEAD hanging out backstage on Super Bowl Sunday on February 1, 2009 prior to the band's concert with METALLICA at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. Also present were Alex Skolnick from TESTAMENT and Corey Pierce from GOD FORBID. Watch the five-minute clip below.

The U.S. version of the special edition of "The Blackening", MACHINE HEAD's Grammy-nominated masterwork, was released last October via Roadrunner Records.

Hailed unanimously as the best metal album of 2007 by journalists, metal radio stations and fans alike, "The Blackening" earned a Grammy nomination for the fan-favorite track "Aesthetics of Hate".

"The Blackening Special Edition" is two-disc CD/DVD set that features an assortment of extras, including rare bonus tracks such as covers of IRON MAIDEN's "Hallowed Be Thy Name", over an hour of live performance footage from With Full Force, Download and Rock in Rio festivals, three uncensored music videos for "Aesthetics of Hate", "Now I Lay Thee Down" and "Halo", a "making-of" featurette on each video, "The Making of The Blackening" and expanded artwork. There's also what many hardcore fans have been rabidly waiting for: four never-before-seen performances of MACHINE HEAD celebrating the 10th anniversary of their debut album, "Burn My Eyes", captured in Philadelphia in 2004.
