MACHINE HEAD: "To clarify: this is the Farewell Tour of this line-up of Machine Head, not the Farewell Tour of Machine Head, as has been reported in the media."

Bay Area, U.S.A metal warriors MACHINE HEAD  have posted the below statement clarifying,"This is the Farewell Tour of this line-up of Machine Head, not the Farewell Tour of Machine Head, as has been reported in the media."










MACHINE HEAD unleashed "CATHARSIS", unleashed 1/26/2018 via NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS.












MACHINE HEAD unleashed  "IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE",  (SINGLE)  6/3/2016 via NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS. 



FROM MACHINE HEAD: 
 
DAVE AND PHIL TO EXIT MACHINE HEAD⠀
After 23 years with Dave McClain pounding the skins at the drum throne, and 15 years with Phil Demmel shredding the guitar on stage right, both members have decided to move on from Machine Head and open a new chapter in their lives.⠀

The upcoming Freaks & Zeroes Tour of North America (that starts this Thursday in Sacramento, CA) is still happening, and will be a celebration of the music that the line-up have created throughout the years. The split is amicable, and the guys are looking forward to playing these very special shows for the Head Cases of North America and ending this era on a positive and classy note.⠀

Head to our YouTube page to watch Robb's emotional announcement.⠀

To clarify: this is the Farewell Tour of this line-up of Machine Head, not the Farewell Tour of Machine Head, as has been reported in the media. ⠀

Machine Head wish to thank Phil and Dave for their significant contributions to the band, both musically and lyrically, as well for the spirit, genuine passion they infused into the music, and legendary live performances brought along the way. ⠀

Machine Head ask that you, the Head Cases, the Freaks & Zeroes, the Lion Hearts of America, come down and have a drink (or 5), a joint (or 3), rage at the shows, let your freak-flag-fly, and celebrate this unique moment in time with us. ⠀

Thank you friends,⠀

- Machine Head⠀

GOATHAMMER: STREAMING NEW TRACK "INVOKING THE SADISTIC SPIRITS" VIA BANDCAMP

Canadian blacked-death metal warriors GOATHAMMER, via BANDCAMP, are streaming  "INVOKING THE SADISTIC SPIRITS", a track from the bands debut release "CEREMONY OF MORBID DESTRUCTION", due to be unleashed 12/7/2018 via HELLS HEADBANGERS RECORDS.  













FROM HELLS HEADBANGERS:
GOATHAMMER LAUNCH PRE-ORDER FOR NEW ALBUM & REVEAL FIRST TRACK
Formed in 2013 and promptly getting to work on a split tape and two successive demos, Goathammer have been a study of staunch underground ethics from the very beginning. Theirs is a sound that's steeped in decades of arcane black/death wisdom, canvassing an array of eras and international flavors whilst being finessed into foul, filthy form by true fanatics. As such, Ceremony of Morbid Destruction is the grand, garish culmination of Goathammer's noble work thus far. Here, the quartet prove they're more than just an identikit "goat"/bestial band; there's a sulfurous aura and true dungeon-bound darkness that bespeak the ancient ways of the 1990s, but completely unselfconsciously so. Sure, the swarming violence of Blasphemy is certainly detectable, but more so is the hammering disgust of legendary labelmates Profanatica; likewise, the crude magick of classic Ungod coexists alongside the frantic misery of old Mütiilation. Which is all to say that, despite the signposts being clear, Goathammer possess the unique elan to conjure a sensation that evokes both nostalgia and newness, and above all, put forth an identity that's theirs alone and offering boundless exploration of those depths for the future.

Minnesota, U.S.A. based atmopsheric black metal warrior has posted "THIS ONWARD REACH", a track from the projects anticipated new release "THE BLEAKNESS OF OUR CONSTANT", due to be unleashed 10/26/2108 via NORDVIS.











ENEFERENS unleashed "EVENTIDE", 7/25/2017 BINDRUNE PRODUCTIONS.



FROM ENEFERENS:
Pre-orders are now available for The Bleakness of Our Constant.

FROM NORDVIS:
Taken from the upcoming album "The Bleakness of Our Constant". Due for release on CD/LP/Digital on October 26th. Subscribe to Nordvis now: https://tinyurl.com/ydd86yv3 Imagine that a lone spirit has worn the tread of his shoes many times over, travelling the globe in search of the answers to the mysteries of the natural world and the human condition. Battle-hardened but spiritually enriched, the hermit returns, many questions answered, some still buzzing wasps in his tired brain, but somehow unable to communicate the great wisdom he has accrued. Undeterred, the wise wanderer instead decides to convey his message in musical form as the answers are too ethereal for mere words. Imagine all this and you will begin to comprehend the wraithlike sonic magic in which Eneferens deal. Two years have evaporated since In The Hours Beneath and The Bleakness Of Our Constant takes the project of Minnesota-based sage Jori Apedaile to its inevitable destination. A place where sorrow, loss, reverence and yearning collide in a primordial soup of soul-wrenching black metal and atmospheric doom. A place where harshness and warmth are entwined as one and such dichotomies are rendered worthless hyperbole. A place once visited, from which there may be no return.
