Info about Machine Head
American Groove Metal band from Oakland, California formed in 1992.
Machine Head was started by the ex-"[a=Vio-Lence]" member [a=Robert Flynn]. He recruited his roommate [a=Adam Duce] (bass guitar), long time friend [a=Logan Mader] (guitar) and drummer [a=Tony Costanza]. The band has been plagued by line-up changes and drug abuse since its inception.
Though the band's first album was a success, Machine Head had a series of albums that earned the band criticism for "selling out". With 5 former members, the band nearly disbanded in 2002 after [a=Roadrunner Records] dropped them. The band re-signed soon after and had a stable line-up from 2003-2013, also including former [a=Vio-Lence] member [a=Phil Demmel]. In 2007 Machine Head recieved a Grammy Award nomination for their album "The Blackening".
As of 2013 the line-up became unstable again with the departures of 3 long-time members;
[a=Adam Duce] left in 2013 after 21 years
[a=Dave McClain] left in 2018 after 24 years
[a=Phil Demmel] left in 2018 after 16 years
In 2019 Flynn announced a 25th anniversary tour of the band debut album "Burn My Eyes", where the band would play 2 sets with 2 tour line-ups; one performing the "Burn My Eyes" record in its entirety featuring former members [a=Logan Mader] and [a=Chris Kontos] joining him and Jared, and another set where the band would perform other MH songs, with Robb and Jared being joined by guitarist [a=Wacław Kiełtyka] (of [a=Decapitated]) and drummer [a=Matt Alston] (of [a=Sanctorum]).
