The Americans announced the title of their upcoming album which is “Catharsis” and will be released in January. The band will start its tour from the US and Phoenix specifically on January 25th. “It’s been far too long since we’ve demolished venues in America, we have had an awesome and productive break writing our new album Catharsis – but now it’s time for Machine Head to go melt some faces!
“The reaction to our last ‘Evening With’ tours in America were nothing short of incredible, so once again these dates will see us performing 2 1/2 to 3 hours every night with no opening bands.
“We loved performing as an ‘Evening With’ for you Head Cases and you guys loved it as well, the freedom to do whatever the fuck we wanted for as long as we wanted every night was liberating. It’s not what everyone else is doing, and frankly, there are not a lot of bands who could even pull it off, but Machine Head can, and we are excited as fuck to do it again.
“We are carving our own path here, playing by our own rules, and as an artist, it’s the best feeling in the world! No festivals period, no 45 minute slots, no supporting some stupid DJ, no parking lots in a rain storm, The Head will only be ‘Headlining’ so come on down and rage!”
As for the new album, the band add: “Machine Head recently wrapped up recording their 9th full-length album with Zack Ohren at Sharkbite Studios in Oakland.
“An official release date has yet to be confirmed, but a January 2018 release is expected. More details to follow shortly.”
