MACHINE HEAD: Tickets For European Tour Are 'Disappearing Quickly'

November 7, 2007

MACHINE HEAD's web site has been updated with the following message:

"Following hot on the heels of the completely sold-out Black Crusade Tour of Australia, tickets to this fall's massive Black Crusade Tour through Europe and the UK are disappearing quickly, with shows in Lille, Dublin, London, Paris and Koln already sold out, with the second shows in Paris and London, as well as Amsterdam, Wiesbaden, and Birmingham about to do the same some time next week. Make sure you get your tickets now, before they're all gone! In other news, MACHINE HEAD's new album 'The Blackening' has been nominated for 'International Metal Album of the Year' at the Danish Metal Awards!"

The "uncensored" and "unedited" five-and-a-half-minute version of MACHINE HEAD's video for the song "Now I Lay Thee Down" can be viewed below.

The clip was shot in February and additional footage was filmed in August. Mike Sloat directed, working in various locations around San Francisco, but mostly in and around the Regency Center, a theater built in 1909. According to Roadrunner Records, "All of the backdrops of the play are original to the theater, close to 100 years old and include ornate images of hell, forest, and more.

As for the plot, the band's label says, "the video is a play about a past time in which a strange and grotesque man, who is shunned by society and outcast, decides that he wants to know what it's like to die. He asks his lover, the only person who cares for him, to take his life. Reluctantly, she does. But then she becomes so distraught and miserable about losing her only love that she decides she must take her own life as well to be with him forever. The play ends with the two lovers together again, at last in the afterlife. The curtain drops and the entire cast bows to the audience."
