• "IMPORTANT TOUR ANNOUNCEMENT.

    Hey guys, Robb here. Hope you and yours are doing well and are staying healthy through all of the craziness.


    It is with great disappointment and frustration that we must inform everyone of the (not so shocking news) that the due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, rescheduled tour dates for 2020 of both Europe and Australia have been cancelled.


    These dates will not be rescheduled a third time, and all Machine Head tour dates have been pushed back indefinitely.


    Venues unable to open or currently operate at capacity, along with travel restrictions, and potential quarantines has forced this decision onto us. At the moment, zero venues on the tour have been allowed to reopen, and are not expected to for the foreseeable future. As the Coronavirus continues to ravage the world, 17 of the 19 countries for the EU tour have banned US citizens, and vice-versa.


    As you will know the majority of these dates have been rescheduled once already from the original onset of the pandemic, but without any sign of a likely time when these shows can be playable or a miraculous vaccine appearing, we are making the responsible decision to cancel all our forthcoming shows.


    Full refunds will be available from point of purchase.


    Until now, almost daily efforts have been made to figure out a way to keep the tours intact, these last 4 months have been a head fuck of major proportions, we had no idea and no blueprint of how to address many of the issues we were facing.


    As I have implied to you all, we lost a staggering amount of money on the US tour, money we were hoping to make up on the 2nd EU run. And while you absolutely made it worth it, as each and everyone of you crazy motherfuckers who came out to the U.S. shows gave your blood, sweat, and tears (beers) for this band, now that these dates are officially off the table, we're gonna have to tighten our belts, and dig in for the long haul.


    On behalf of both the band and management, I want you all to know how grateful we are for your continued support of Machine Head, it was a genuinely amazing doing this last go round of "Burn My Eyes" 25th anniversary dates for you all. People often say metal fans are the most loyal and passionate in the world, Head Cases are that TIMES TEN!!!


    We do not know what the future holds, but want nothing more than to get back on the road, put on some MONSTER 3 hour shows for you guys, and RAGE with you all whenever this mess ends.


    Sincerely hope to see you sooner rather than later.


    Robb and Machine Head"

    Fuck! Ich hätte damals nach Freiburg fahren sollen...

  • Schade, aber die einzig vernünftige Variante. Ich denke, dass vor nächsten Herbst nichts möglich wäre und Robb die nächste Tour lieber mit neuem Album angehen möchte.

    MACHINE HEAD & AMON AMARTH ANNOUNCE UK/EU ARENA TOUR FOR 2022

    Featuring Special Guests, THE HALO EFFECT

    Tickets Available Here At 10am Friday 5th November


    Prepare for the most monumental metal tour of 2022!! Two of the world’s most revered heavy bands, Bay Area metal icons MACHINE HEAD and Sweden’s Viking metal overlords AMON AMARTH are teaming up for a colossal co-headline 'Vikings And Lionhearts' arena tour set to rampage across Europe in September & October 2022.


    Joining the metallic pairing to open the show are THE HALO EFFECT, a new band featuring five luminaries of Swedish melodic death metal and pioneers of the genre; Peter Iwers, Daniel Svensson, Jesper Stromblad, Niclas Englin and Mikael Stanne.


    Tickets go on general sale here on Friday 5th November at 10am local time, with artist & venue pre-sales available from 10am Wednesday 3rd November and Live Nation’s pre-sale at 10am on Thursday 4th. MACHINE HEAD will close the show on all UK dates. Check out the trailer below.


    MACHINE HEAD frontman, Robb Flynn declares; “Head Cases and Lionhearts rejoice! It is with great pleasure we announce our triumphant return to your land to crush skulls, pummel circle pits, and deplete your beer supply!! Only this time we will not be alone. That’s right. For the first time in nearly a decade Machine Head will be forgoing our usual “evenings with…” to join forces with our battle-hardened brothers in the all-powerful Amon Amarth, plus their fellow countrymen, Halo Effect. This absolute monster of a tour will kick off Autumn 2022 and will be the most devastating night of your metal lives. So get ready to raise your fists, raise your glasses, and bang your heads with us at the heaviest tour of the year! No one can resist the pure power of this epic alliance. We are coming for you!”


    AMON AMARTH frontman Johan Hegg is equally looking forward to it, stating: “Vikings, we are called to raid again! They said it couldn’t be done, but epic measures must be taken in these turbulent times. Amon Amarth is joining forces with our long-time lion-hearted friends in the almighty Machine Head to carve a path of destruction across Europe next Autumn. Your heathen souls must witness the full display of production by both bands for what will be the most monumental metal event of the year. Joining the plunder will be Sweden’s The Halo Effect who absolutely embody the spirit of the legendary Gothenburg sound. Keep an eye out for more news from us, as it’s almost time to grab your oars and row to victory. Stay safe, stay strong and raise your horns!”


    Similarly thrilled are THE HALO EFFECT, who inform us, “We are incredibly excited to announce that we will present this new band of ours on stages throughout Europe supporting the amazing Machine Head and Amon Amarth this fall. Teaming up with two of the most respected and seasoned bands in the world of metal will be the perfect way to show what we are all about. See you in the front row!”

  • Super schade, dass sie von dem "An evening with"-Konzept abweichen. Es sind also keine drei Stunden MH. Ich vermute jedoch, dass sie nach der schwächeren Catharsis-Phase und den Umbestzungen einen Art Neustart wagen und zurück ins Gespräch wollen. Das geht so besser. Aber wie ist denn folgender Satz zu verstehen: "MACHINE HEAD will close the show on all UK dates"? In Deutschland schließen dann Amon Amarth ab oder wie?

    Ich bin auf jeden Fall am Start :)

  • VVK ist nun gestartet. Die Innenräume werde in Stehplatz und Golden Circle unterteilt. 85 € für den Golden Circle. So ein Müll! Ich bin raus. Das sind mit MH als vermutliche Support-Show nicht wert. Wäre es eine "Evening with.." wäre ich dabei, aber so nicht. Vielleicht geht ja was über den Zweitmarkt vorher und werde, so wie ich mich kenne, meine Meinung dann doch noch ändern ;)


    EDIT: Anscheinend gibt es nicht überall einen Golden Circle. Die Preisschwankungen sind dadurch aber völlig absurd, wenn ich vorne im Pit sein will: Berlin 68 €, Oberhausen 72 €, Hamburg 73 €, Leipzig 80 €, Frankfurt, Stuttgart und München 85 €.. Klar schwanken die Konzertpreise von Stadt zu Stadt immer, aber so viel ist doch bei eigentlich gleicher Leistung verrückt.

  • Neues Machine Head Album ØF KINGDØM AND CRØWN kommt am 26.08.


    Der "erste Song" ist auch schon da. Mir gefällt er ziemlich gut. Die Richtung gefällt mir fiel besser als das, was auf "Catharsis" war. Insgesamt gibt es 13 Tracks auf der Platte. Wenn man die Band im letzten Jahr verfolgt hat, kennt man vier weitere davon schon. Alle finde ich stark. Könnte eine super Platte werden
