To celebrate the 30th anniversary of their 1994 debut LP Burn My Eyes, Machine Head have unearthed the original unmastered demo cassette of the 1993 demo that got them signed to Roadrunner, as well as a previously unreleased 1992 4-track cassette rehearsal demo with original drummer Tony Costanza. Both have been remastered at Sterling Sound, and they’re now available for pre-order as Diamonds in the Rough ’92-’93, pressed to 180 gram double vinyl. The front gatefold has a gold foil Machine Head diamond logo, and it comes with a 16-page, 12″x12″ booklet featuring previously unseen photos from the era and liner notes by vocalist Robb Flynn. We have an exclusive red/grey/black splatter vinyl variant, limited to 250 copies. Pre-order yours in the BV store while they last.
Also available in the BV store is Machine Head’s 2022 album ØF KINGDØM AND CRØWN on exclusive beer vinyl, limited to 500 copies.
Machine Head’s only upcoming show at the moment is New England Metal & Hardcore Fest in Worcester, MA on September 21. You can stream their Hellfest set from earlier this summer below.
