MACHINE HEAD: First Installment of 'Mayhem Tour Diary' Available

August 4, 2008

Veteran San Francisco Bay Area metallers MACHINE HEAD have posted the first installment of their "Mayhem Tour Diary" featuring footage from the band's current Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival with SLIPKNOT and DISTURBED. Watch the four-and-a-half-minute clip below.

The Mayhem lineup also includes DRAGONFORCE, MASTODON, AIRBOURNE, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, BLACK TIDE and others.

MACHINE HEAD's new video, "Halo", can be viewed at this location. The clip, which was filmed on April 3 in San Francisco with director Mike Sloat ("Aesthetics of Hate", "Imperium", "Days Turn Blue to Gray"),was shot entirely in front of a green screen, and the footage was all digitally manipulated to mimic the style of the artwork from the packaging for MACHINE HEAD's new album "The Blackening".

MACHINE HEAD garnered the first Grammy nomination of its career for "Aesthetics of Hate", a monstrous track from the critically hailed album "The Blackening", released in March 2007. The song was nominated for "Best Metal Performance" (SLAYER eventually won the award for "The Final Six").

MACHINE HEAD will support SLIPKNOT on a European tour this fall. Also scheduled to appear on the bill is CHILDREN OF BODOM.
