We are very lucky to have Annihilator along for the entire tour and for anyone not familiar with them be prepared for the SHRED! Also joining us is the extremely heavy french metal monsters GOJIRA and our good friends Sanctity who will be hitting these shores for the first time.

Dave Mustaine, Megadeth frontman has recently spoken with Revolver magazine about the forthcoming Megadeth album, ‘United Abominations’, given that the album title is a play on ‘United Nations’ the album cover presents the United Nations building being destroyed.

“The whole premise of the U.N. was to prevent war,” he railed, “but they're totally ineffective. What just happened with Israel and Lebanon, and why did it take that long to stop? Look what happend with Saddam Husein — 17 resolutions, and he just kept spitting in their face. And now the “blue helmets” are raping women and little girls in these African countries? Come on! How long is the public going to be blind to this?

“I know I'm not making any friends at the U.N. with this album,” Mustaine continued with a harsh laugh. But, frankly, he's not worried. Like many born-again Christians, Mustaine favors the interpetation of the Book of Revelations that views the founding of the United Nations — and its eventual demise — as part of the prophesied events that will inevitably lead to the Second Coming. “I got saved a few years ago, and I believe the Bible says that the U.N. is going to fail. In order for the predictions in the Book of Revelations to take place, it's gotta fail. I don't ever expect to go there, except to look where the building used to be, you know? I hope that someones going to pull the chain, and that's where the butthole of the United States is, and it just disappears!”

Blabbermouth reports that Machine Head drummer Dave McClain, was recently interviewed by Amanda Chamberlin of In Utah This Week, check out a few choice pieces of the interview below:

In Utah This Week: It seems like MACHINE HEAD prefers to avoid any genre classifications, so how would you describe the type of music that's on your [new] album, “The Blackening“?

McClain: “This is a pretty epic album; we took a lot of time letting these songs take on a life of their own, whether it was adding more parts or making things just more complicated to play. We had a lot of fun writing this album, and I think people are gonna be blown away when they hear it!”

In Utah This Week: MACHINE HEAD keeps it pretty consistent as far as sound goes, with your albums always having elements of brutality, unique rhythmic patterns, as well as frequent experimental elements. Did you guys try anything new on “The Blackening” that you haven't done on past albums?

McClain: “We're writing music for the part of us that is still that kid we were that was running to the front row at the IRON MAIDEN show. And also the musician part of us that wants to be challenged! It's killer to be able to be in that mind frame and not have to worry about if a certain song is too long or too heavy for a certain radio station.”

In Utah This Week: What is your No. 1 priority when you're recording an album? In other words, do you put your utmost focus on musicianship, having a good time, expressing your feelings, or other?

McClain: “I think all that is important, especially in this day and age of recording with ProTools. I think too many bands use technology like that to a disadvantage, making every little thing perfect and taking out any kind of human feel. We're not a band that records with a click track or puts the drum tracks through a program that makes everything perfect. We're pretty good at making our mistakes sound like we meant to do them.”

In Utah This Week: If any, which audience(s) do you keep in mind while writing music?

McClain: “Well, we always hope our fans are gonna love what we do, and I think we (us and our fans) are on a similar wavelength, so when we're writing for ourselves, in the end it's something that we're both gonna be happy with.”

In Utah This Week: If any, what kind of theme(s) or atmosphere(s) do you keep in mind while writing music?

McClain: “There are a lot of influences that end up in our songs. One influence that we've had lately is the band RUSH — one of my favorite bands of all time and a great musical influence. And they always had a great attitude about being commercially accepted.”
