MACHINE HEAD: POSTPONE FALL 2014 NORTH AMERICAN TOUR

Bay area, California thrash warriors MACHINE HEAD have announced the bands fall 2014 NORTH AMERICAN tour with CHILDREN OF BODOM, EPICA and BATTLE CROSS has been postponed as MACHINE HEAD are still in the studio.











MACHINE HEAD are set to unleash "BLOODSTONE & DIAMONDS",  11/7/2014 (EUROPEAN UNION) 11/10/2014 (U.S. and UK) via NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS.

MACHINE HEAD unleashed  "KILLER AND KINGS" (SINGLE) 4/19/2014  via NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS.




FROM MACHINE HEAD:
----------------------
It is with great disappointment that Machine Head must announce the postponement of our North American tour this fall. Our new album “Bloodstone & Diamonds” has taken longer to complete than expected and we had to make the difficult choice to either delay the album, let it go out as incomplete, or cancel the tour in order to properly finish and promote the album in the caliber it needs to be done. We decided postponing the tour was the best decision for the record.
We feel this record is a milestone, we feel we have something truly special here, but getting there has been a challenge. Our vocalist / guitarist Robb Flynn just returned from a press tour where he was playing rough mixes and incomplete versions of songs for the press just to try and keep everything on time for our November release date.
Refunds will be available for tickets at point of purchase.
Look out for rescheduled American tour dates for the beginning of the year.
All scheduled European tour dates will remain as scheduled.
Machine Head release their 8th album “Bloodstone & Diamonds" (and their first for Nuclear Blast Entertainment) on Nov 7th - EU, and Nov 10th in the U.S. and U.K.
Track listing is as follows:
MACHINE HEAD - BLOODSTONE & DIAMONDS
1. Now We Die
2. Killers & Kings
3. Ghosts Will Haunt My Bones
4. Night Of Long Knives
5. Sail Into The Black
6. Eyes Of The Dead
7. Beneath The Silt
8. In Comes The Flood
9. Damage Inside
10. Game Over
11. Imaginal Cells (Instrumental)
12. Take Me Through The Fire

FROM BATTLECROSS: 

As most of you already may know, our tour next month with Machine Head, Children Of Bodom and Epica has been cancelled for reasons that we don't quite understand but we assure you that we are working with our management and agent to figure out a way to play these markets in any way possible. As you all know, Battlecross refuses to cancel shows and we will do whatever it takes to play for all of you, whatever it takes. Please reach out to your local promoters and tell them you want us to play this fall in your city while we work to get a tour package together. thank you all for your support.

FROM CHILDREN OF BODOM: 
 
Top of the morning ladies and gentlemen..well i gotta tell you straight out that this is not a good day. Im sure some of you already know that our north american tour with machine head has officially been canceled, without any fault of our own i might add. I will not go into details on why or what happened but i need you, my friends to know that this had nothing to do with me or cob. Two days ago i was on the top of the world with my ride and stoked to get out there, crank out metal and raise hell with you guys but today i look like this(i think i managed to take a"selfie"hahaThats alexi being bummed the fuck out at 9am) yesterday that motherfucker(my car that is) over heated and almost left me on the side of the road and 3hrs later i found out that the tour was canceled.funny how life works huh?But hey u know what? Shit fuckin happens, life goes on and at least now we have an extra month and a half to write new cob shit so instead of focusing on the negative,im gonna start to write music this very second and it will be some angry shitbut yea, i guess this is me apologizing on everyone's behalf that we let you down. On a happier note i will have a few live performances on my own(will let u know about that later), happening this year so i will see some of you soon!! Lets keep our horns up and try to laugh at fuckin everything and everyone including ourselves at least once a day! Deal?
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
