MACHINE HEAD: Multi-Camera Mountain View Performance Footage Available

July 16, 2008

Bay Area Backstage has posted exclusive multi-camera video footage (with soundboard audio) of MACHINE HEAD's July 12, 2008 performance at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California (as part of the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival). Watch the 16-minute clip below.

MACHINE HEAD's new video, "Halo", can be viewed at this location. The clip, which was filmed on April 3 in San Francisco with director Mike Sloat ("Aesthetics of Hate", "Imperium", "Days Turn Blue to Gray"),was shot entirely in front of a green screen, and the footage was all digitally manipulated to mimic the style of the artwork from the packaging for MACHINE HEAD's new album "The Blackening".

Check out photos from the video shoot at this location.

MACHINE HEAD is taking part in this summer's inaugural Rockstar Energy Mayhem tour, which is being co-headlined by SLIPKNOT and DISTURBED. The Mayhem lineup also includes DRAGONFORCE, MASTODON, AIRBOURNE, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, BLACK TIDE and others.

MACHINE HEAD garnered the first Grammy nomination of its career for "Aesthetics of Hate", a monstrous track from the critically hailed album "The Blackening", released in March 2007. The song was nominated for "Best Metal Performance" (SLAYER eventually won the award for "The Final Six").

MACHINE HEAD will support SLIPKNOT on a European tour this fall. Also scheduled to appear on the bill is CHILDREN OF BODOM.
