MACHINE HEAD To Open METALLICA Shows in January

New York, NY: If the Bay Area's Machine Head have their way, they will remain on the road in support of 2007's Grammy-nominated The Blackening, lauded as the best effort of an already impressive career, forever. The band is pleased to announce that it will serve as direct support to Metallica for a spate of dates that begin in January.

Machine Head are currently headlining the second stage of the inaugural Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival. The band has lived on the road since The Blackening's release, sharing stages with Lamb of God and Trivium, Heaven and Hell and Megadeth, as well as Hell Yeah. The band takes the next step up in its touring history by supporting the legendary Metallica in the United States, after a successful string of Metallica support dates in Europe earlier this summer.
