Machine Head - Locust

 

Today we announce the last band on "The Eighth Plague Tour" -package, the main act Machine Head. May tell you that during the soundcheck did their American sound engineer run all in on the volume to see how the stuff could work out, it was so high that the dust fell from the ceiling, the walls rattled and all the gauges went to the bottom. Not even earplugs helped here and sound engineers runned all this without earplugs no wonder he said WHAT in every other sentence.

Machine Head had a little video interviews, photoshoots etc during the evening before the doors, Roadrunner was there to do a review of both Robb Flynns and Phil Demmel guitar pedals and of course a meet and greet with fans.

After Bring Me The Horizon set was finished and while changeover is ongoing and Bring Me The Horizon stuff picked down, one could note that much of the audience changed to a slightly older and more mature crowd of metal fans, you hear how they warmed up with "Machine Fucking Head", now is all the bright tones gone.

Once it is time for the band to kick loose they will do it furious and it becomes an incredible tensile inside the arena for both music wise and audience wise. It's neat, wicked, mean and incredibly well played. The light is really nice and projector that plays on a backdrop and the two side sections fits in well in the harsh environment. The song "The Blood, The Sweat, The Tears" dedicated "LG" singer of Entombed, who was also is there this evening, as usual:) A Swedish flag throwns up on stage and "Flynn" wrap himselves in it while he holding a speech and invites the audience on a drink.

Overall, This package of awesome bands was an incredible successful move, they all did a really good show and maybe one of the best sofar with Machine Head. So

Bring Me The Horizon - Chelsea Smile

 

The british metalcore band Bring Me The Horizon gets up on stage as the evening's third band during Machine Head's flag and festival package's main support band. You find out right away that there is a different type of audience that would like to see this band. The slightly older crowd step aside and go to the bar that fills up quickly. When the band gets on so well is great joy among the younger female part of the audience. Setlist is mixed this time with both new and previously records . Here you can could witness that mosh pits and circle pits was formed and it becomes like that wonderfully insane. The band clear the hell on stage got damn what a energy the guys have. Oliver Sykes is exactly like a released monkey who had been trapped for a long time, the runs around like a maniac and climbing on everything that can be climbed on.

Almost the entire evening stood those lightly dressed young girls off at Bring Me The Horizon's bus and waited for the band would pass by, so they could get some pictures, autographs and maybe a hug, christ's cold outside! Burr!

Here is some photos from the BMTH day!

Bring Me The Horizon - Visions

Bring Me the Horizon are a British metalcore band from Sheffield, Yorkshire, who formed in 2004. Their name is derived from the last line of the film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, in which Captain Jack Sparrow says "Now... Bring me that horizon." They have released three studio albums and one extended play and Remix album.

That the band's latest album have been played much at my home recently, I will give all the credit to Robert "Chief Rebel Angel" for the introduction, BMTH has never been a big favorite at my house until I earlier this year became convinced during a evening in the sign of rock, after that i gave BMTH chance and I was hooked. During almost the whole summer have BMTH latest record been spinning nearly constant and is virtually overplayed at this point. So a tune from them today, does it make sense?

Todays tune "Visions" is the brand new video from the third full-length studio album "There Is a Hell, Believe Me, I've Seen It. There Is a Heaven, Let's Keep It a Secret". The clip was directed by Plastic Kid, the alter ego of Copenhagen-based avant-garde graphic designer and filmmaker Jakob Printzlau. Enjoy!



Simon Neil of the band Biffy Clyro chose the album as his choice in an article on the "It is one of the best metal records I have heard in years: jam-packed with ideas and energy, and, most importantly for a metal record, the vocals don't make you cringe."
