Fresh off of main support dates with Metallica and a hugely successful run of major European festivals, Bay Area titans MACHINE HEAD announce a very special headline show at The Crazy Donkey in New York, in preparation for their run of Canadian Carnage dates with Slayer and Megadeth.  MACHINE HEAD plan on doing a full headlining set with production and a unique set list that promises to cover their impressive and controversial 15 year career.

I’ve held off for a long time to buy Machine Head’s The Blackening because I hadn’t heard much off of it and the last one I bought (Through The Ashes Of Empires) I really didn’t care for all that much. I grabbed two copies of The Blackening on my way into the signing on Friday and the band signed both of them I figured I was going to buy it sooner or later so why not now and get it signed. The second copy will be given away here some time this month.
I’ve listened to The Blackening all the …read more
