The classic metal group Machine Head are bringing “three hours of blood, sweat, tears…and life-affirming metal” to cities across North America on tour next year to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Burn My Eyes.
Currently, the band is touring across Europe through late December. Their 2020 trek will kick-off on January 16 in Phoenix, Arizona, followed by gigs in Houston, Orlando, Montreal, Indianapolis, and Detroit. They’ll play venues along the way like New York City’s recently-renovated Webster Hall, the House of Blues in Boston, Denver’s Gothic Theatre and the Fox Theater in Oakland before wrapping-up in Anaheim, California at the House of Blues. Then, from April through June, they’ll cross Europe again.
Rob Flynn, the longtime frontman, will be joined by bassist Jared MacEachern during “Part I” of the show, which will feature classic Machine Head hits. Then, Flynn and MacEachern will be joined by early band members Longan Mader on guitar and Chris Kontos on drums to perform 1994’s Burn My Eyes in its entirety during “Part II.”
“North American Head Cases, you have been patiently waiting for what seems like for-goddamned-EVER, thank you for your patience, but we are now ready to CRUSH YOUR F*CKING SKULLS!!” Flynn said in a statement. “So ready to get back on the road in the US. Biggest production we have ever had, most insane lineup we have ever had, we have leveled-the-f*ck-up for this run! Ready to bring you 3 hours of blood, sweat, tears, pain, rage, and life-affirming metal. Let’s f*cking do this!!”
Burn My Eyes, the group’s debut record, was released in 1994 and includes smash-hits “Davidian,” “The Rage To Overcome,” “Death Church,” and “None But My Own.” The band last released Catharsis in 2018, which follows 2014’s Bloodstones & Diamonds and Unto The Locust from 2011. This year, the group dropped live versions of “Davidian,” “A Thousand Lives,” “None But My Own,” “Death Church,” and “The Rage To Overcome” in celebration of the anniversary.
