Sources: MACHINE HEAD To Sign New U.S. Deal With ROADRUNNER RECORDS

February 13, 2004

MACHINE HEAD are on the verge of signing a new deal with the U.S. branch of Roadrunner Records, sources close to the band and label have informed BLABBERMOUTH.NET.

The San Francisco Bay Area-based quartet, whose latest CD, "Through The Ashes of Empires", was issued in most territories around the world in October, released four studio albums and one live set through Roadrunner in North America before splitting with the label in 2002. They subsequently re-signed with Roadrunner in Europe, where they continued to command impressive record sales and concert attendances despite a significant market downturn.

"Through The Ashes of Empires", widely hailed as MACHINE HEAD's finest offering since their classic 1994 debut, "Burn My Eyes", is tentatively scheduled to receive a U.S. release through Roadrunner this spring. A full-scale North American tour — the band's first since 2002 — will coincide with the release.
