Robb Flynn of Machine Head held a short-notice livestream to test out the band’s studio following a recent flood.

Flynn performed a half-hour “Electric Halfy Hour” SET in the style of their usual Electric Happy Hour live streams. The good news is all the gear that was drenched in the flood worked, and the band will return with their live streams ahead of their upcoming Slaughter The Martour North American dates with Fear Factory and Orbit Culture. The band continues to tour behind their album OF KINGDOM AND CROWN (Nuclear Blast), the Ghost Cult Album of The Year for 2022. Watch the video here. Continue reading

Machine Head Suffers a Flood in Their Rehearsal Studio – Canceling Their “Electric Happy Hour” Livestreams Between Tours
In a new video update, Machine Head’s leader Robb Flynn did a tour of their rehearsal studio in the Bay Area after they suffered from a recent flood, and made the space unusable. Fortunately, all of their touring gear was spared, and the band will still be able to prepare for the upcoming Slaughter The Martour dates with Fear Factory. Robb has also asked fans not to start a GoFundMe or other fundraiser for the band, and that fans should take care of themselves and their own, since the holidays are upon us. Tickets are on sale for the tour now, and you can always support the band by buying merch from them, such as their recent anniversary vinyl of Through The Ashes of Empires, out now via Nuclear Blast.
