For Immediate Release: July 28, 2014
MACHINE HEAD ANNOUNCE
NORTH AMERICAN FALL TOUR
Bay Area Metal Titans MACHINE HEAD continue their live domination of North America with the announcement of their 21-show U.S.
and Canadian trek in support of their debut studio album for Nuclear
Blast Entertainment, due out this fall.
With a devastating line up that features support from Finnish heavy
metal powerhouse CHILDREN OF BODOM and Dutch symphonic
metallers EPICA with American melodic death/thrash openers BATTLECROSS, the tour launches on October 4th in Denver, Colorado
and includes five Canadian cities before closing out in Hollywood,
California on November 1st.
MACHINE HEAD frontman & guitarist Robb Flynn checks in about
the touring line-up and the upcoming shows:
Machine Head raised the bar with concert production for 2012 ‘s “Locust” tour, and now we plan to raise the bar again with our biggest US
show yet, and the strongest line-up out there for 2014, PERIOD!! This is a MUST SEE event for any heavy metal fan in America! I am stoked that we were able to join up with our friends in Children Of Bodom, one of the premier power metal bands of our time,
and our friends in Battlecross, who we toured with on Mayhem last
year, and are going to bring the old-school thrash vibe. Epica’s symphonic metal will add a touch of much needed class to the drunken
shenanigans that will surely take place on this raucous
tour. Come out and be a part of history ladies and gentlemen!!
CHILDREN OF BODOM frontman & guitarist Alexi Laiho adds:
“We’ve rolled with Machine Head quite a few times in the past. My
best memories are kick azz shows, parties, camaraderie and vocal
coaching from Robb Flynn way back in 2008, so I think we’ll have a
good time tearing it up all over North America! Not a bad way to end
the long and non stop tour cycle for “ Halo Of Blood ! “
“With this killer line-up, this tour is bound to be a great success,”
states EPICA vocalist Simone Simons. “We will bring EPICA to a
whole new level and I can't wait to play the new songs along with the
old material overseas.” EPICA guitarist, songwriter, and founding member Mark Jansen shares: “MACHINE HEAD and CHILDREN
OF BODOM are bands I listened to as teenager, so it's really amazing to be on this tour with EPICA."
BATTLECROSS guitarist Tony Asta contributes the following: “What
an honor to be asked to join a tour in support of MACHINE HEAD's
first album release on their new label! We’re really excited to reunite
with Robb and the guys, as well as CHILDREN OF BODOM - both
legendary bands and friends from last summer’s Mayhem Fest. And
we’ll get to see what EPICA is all about. This is a tour with something
for every metal head. We can’t wait to bring it brutal throughout the
USA & Canada, banging heads and melting faces from coast-tocoast. See you in the pit!”
All tickets go on sale this Friday at 10 AM EST.
