Yesterday we brought you an interview from Knotfest 2012 of Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor which you can view HERE.
Today, check out an interview with Machine Head.
Adam and Phil talk about how Knotfest differs to UK festivals, commenting that’we get the sun!’
Grammy-nominated, Bay Area metal titans, MACHINE HEAD, are set to release their seventh studio album, ‘Unto The Locust’ via Roadrunner Records on 24th October.
Recorded at Green Day’s Jingletown Studios in Oakland, CA, the album was produced and mixed by frontman and guitarist, Robb Flynn, who ended up flying back and forth from the studio in Oakland and the band’s summer stint on the Mayhem tour in the US, in order to get the record mixed on time.
Once again, many of the tracks have ended up lengthier than the norm, but familiar territory for MACHINE HEAD. Flynn jokes: “We still can’t seem to write a damn song under six minutes. But we aren’t writing music for the radio or MTV. This is for us. This is for the metalhead who let’s music take him on a journey. This for the metalhead for whom music is the only thing that matters, to whom music is a saviour. The music fan who’s going to study every detail of the artwork, go online and find the lyrics and memorize every word, and let it take them away from their fucked up life for a while. It’s for the music freak, who maybe just wants to get hammered, air-guitar and sing at the top of his lungs and act like a friggin’ idiot while starting a moshpit in their living room with reckless abandon. Because that’s who wrote this song, and that is the only people we care about connecting with.”
Thirteen (written as TH1RT3EN) is the thirteenth studio album from Megadeth.
The first single to be taken off the album is “Public Enemy No. 1″. The video was filmed on September 17 in Santa Clarita, California, shot on a movie set where old Westerns are filmed.
“TH1RT3EN” was recorded at Mustaine’s Vic’s Garage studio in San Marcos, California with producer Johnny K, who has previously worked with DISTURBED, SEVENDUST, MACHINE HEAD and STAIND, among others.
I nearly fell off my chair when I read this but it seems it is true – The mighty Van Halen are hitting the road.
Van Halen have taken their reunion outside of the US and Canada for the first time since Dave Lee Roth rejoined the band. The legendary rockers have confirmed that they will headline Australia’s Soundwave Revolutions alongside Machine Head, Danzig, Hole, Alter Bridge and more!
I have a feeling that the band will be a feature heavily on the festival circuit next year – I have my fingers, legs and hair crossed for it and let’s hope that I am not wrong. Imagine ‘Hot for Teacher’ full blast live from these legends!
