MACHINE HEAD Frontman Talks About Covering MAIDEN, 'Rockstar Energy' Tour; Video Available
July 26, 2008Kerrang! editor Paul Brannigan caught up with MACHINE HEAD frontman Robb Flynn in Denver, Colorado on the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival tour. Watch the five-minute chat below.
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 is taking part in this summer's inaugural Rockstar Energy Mayhem tour, which is being co-headlined by SLIPKNOT and DISTURBED. The Mayhem lineup also includes DRAGONFORCE, MASTODON, AIRBOURNE, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, BLACK TIDE and others.
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.
