MACHINE HEAD To Release Limited Double-CD Edition Of New Album

August 12, 2003

MACHINE HEAD's forthcoming album, "Through The Ashes Of Empires" (due in Europe on Oct. 13) will be available as a special limited double-CD edition with a slipcase, according to a post on the Roadrunner Records U.K. web site. "However, this version of the CD will only be available on initial store orders of the album... so once their stock is gone, that's it, no more double CD slipcase version.

"The 2nd CD will contain 5 demos (that were done for this record),the live video for 'The Blood, The Sweat, The Tears', the new video for 'Imperium' (tentatively planned to be shot Aug 25th) and footage that was filmed during the recording of 'Through The Ashes Of Empires'.

"In other MACHINE HEAD news, last night [August 11] was the first official hearing of the new MH tunes. From 7:00 p.m. in central London, a special listening party (with air con & free bar) was hosted with selected radio, TV, and print media folks in attendance. Not to mention some Roadrunner street & e-teamers, and a couple of lucky competition winners. The special guest was of course the man himself, Robert Flynn. Several new tracks were played... and let us tell you.. they have been worth the wait. You want drums, you want guitars, you want riffs... they are here. Check out a couple of photos from the night here."

MACHINE HEAD will kick off a European tour in support of "Through The Ashes Of Empires" on November 4 in Paris, France. The band are currently seeking a North American record deal following their recent announcement that they are no longer tied to Roadrunner Records in their home territory. "Through The Ashes Of Empires" is scheduled to be mastered on Friday, August 15 at Sterling Sound in New York City.
