Machine Head Confirm Rumored Tour

Machine head have officially announced North American Fall Tour with Children of Bodom, Epica, and Battlecross!

Machine Head will be doing a 21-show stretch across the US and Canada in support of their first album on Nuclear Blast which is set to release this fall.

Robb Flynn of Machine Head had this to say:

“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!!”

Alexi Laiho of COB 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,” said Simon Simons of Epica. “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.”

Tony Asta of Battlecross had this to say:
“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-to-coast. See you in the pit!”
