Machine Head bestätigen ihre neuen Bandmitglieder

Es ist soweit.

VON AM 30/09/2019

Bereits in wenigen Tagen lassen sich Machine Head anlässlich des 25-jährigen Jubiläums ihres Debütalbums „Burn My Eyes“ in Deutschland auf Tour blicken.

Besondere Auftritte erwarten uns, da die Band an diesem Abend nicht nur gleich zwei Live-Sets zum Besten geben wird, sondern auch noch ihre Originalmitglieder Chris Kontos und Logan Mader mit dabei hat.

Machine Head sind wieder vollzählig

Selbige werden für eins der beiden Sets, die komplette Performance des 1994er Longplayers, zusammen mit Robb Flynn und Jared MacEachern auf der Bühne stehen.

Beim anderen Set, einem Quasi-Best-of des Bandkatalogs, werden dagegen andere Musiker einspringen. Welche das sind, wurde jetzt erst bekannt.

Wie man wissen lässt, werden beim besagten Set Gitarrist Wacław „Vogg“ Kiełtyka (Decapitated) und Drummer Matt Alston (Devilment, Eastern Front) zu sehen sein.

Und es kommt noch besser – sowohl Kiełtyka als auch Alston wurden mittlerweile bereits als neue Vollzeitmitglieder bestätigt. Sie lösen damit die 2018 gegangenen Dave McClain und Phil Demmel ab.

Erst kürzlich wurde verkündet, dass Machine Head auch im nächsten Jahr wieder in Deutschland zu sehen sein werden.

Head Cases, please welcome Vogg Kiełtyka to the Machine Head family!! Machine Head are proud to announce the two new full-time members who will be performing the first set of the upcoming 3 hour "Evening With" / 'Burn My Eyes 25th Anniversary tour, with the 2nd set to be performed by original BME-alumni Chris Kontos and Logan Mader.⁠ ⁠ New guitarist Vogg Kiełtyka (Decapitated) adds: "It’s a huge honour to be able to play at the same stage with the mighty Machine Head. I grew up on their music and when I heard I will join them on this tour, I was literally STOKED! ⁠ As a thirteen years old I was learning songs from "Burn My Eyes” which is still one of my favorite albums EVER, that album had also a big influence on my playing and my guitar skills." ⁠ He continues,"Machine Head is not just a band, it’s an institution who has still a big influence on how all metal scene looks like, so for me as a musician and also a metal fan it’s something special to be able to be a small part of it.⁠ ⁠ That will be definitely a huge lesson and experience for me to be a part of such a professional team. Adventure begins, I cannot wait!" ⁠ Vogg will continue to perform double-duty with his band Decapitated adding: "To all Decapitated fans: I will see with you also during Decapitated shows in 2020. We do plan also to compose new music for next Decapitated album so keep an eye on more news! About the "Burn My Eyes' 25th Anniversary Tour: Building on their wildly popular 'Evening With’ format, these not-to-be-missed shows will be a three-hour musical extravaganza, comprised of two parts: Part I – will feature a battery of MACHINE HEAD’s modern classics, such as ‘Imperium,’ ‘Halo,’ 'Ten Ton Hammer' and, ‘The Blood, The Sweat, The Tears,’ featuring frontman/guitarist Robb Flynn and bassist Jared MacEachern performing alongside Vogg Kiełtyka and Matt Alston on guitar and drums. Part II – will feature the Bay Area metal titan’s classic debut album, ‘Burn My Eyes’ played in its entirety for the first time ever. And taking the stage for this part of the set will be ‘Burn My Eyes’-era alumni and MACHINE HEAD’s original drummer Chris Kontos and original guitarist, Logan Mader.
