We've been getting email for weeks about DevilDriver's next album, The Last Kind Words. Here's your first dribble of information about the album: THE COVER. Expect more information here in the next few weeks. Before you know it, it'll be release day!
Dave McClain, Machine Head drummer has issues the update below:
“We're on the last week of the LAMB OF GOD tour and it's honestly been one of the funnest tours we've ever done. We just finished shooting the video for 'Aesthetics of Hate' in Virginia. We couldn't have done it without the LAMB OF GOD guys, who helped with everything from finding locations, bringing food, keeping us company and even giving up their soundcheck so we could have some needed stage time. I think the video is going to be killer, lots of crusty locations and pure raw energy for this one!”
Machine Head are preparing to go on tour with Heaven and Hell and Megadeth in the U.S.
Remarked McClain: “It is truly an honor for all of us in MACHINE HEAD to be a part of this unbelievable tour. If that wasn't enough, we are also sharing the stage with another legendary metal great, MEGADETH. When the MACHINE HEAD set is finished everyone in this band will turn from performers into fans!”
