Ready for the new Machine Head video? We’ll get to it in a minute, but first a little history. The clip was shot in February and additional footage was filmed in August. Mike Sloat directed, working in various locations around San Francisco, but mostly in and around the Regency Center, a theater built in 1909. According to Roadrunner Records, “All of the backdrops of the play are original to the theater, close to 100 years old and include ornate images of hell, forest, and more.
As for the plot, the band’s label says “the video is a play about a past time in which a strange and grotesque man, who is shunned by society and outcast, decides that he wants to know what it’s like to die. He asks his lover, the only person who cares for him, to take his life. Reluctantly, she does. But then she becomes so distraught and miserable about losing her only love that she decides she must take her own life as well to be with him forever. The play ends with the two lovers together again, at last in the afterlife. The curtain drops and the entire cast bows to the audience.”
Well, there you go. Now, lay this down:
What character, creativeness, tightness, perfect, powerful, constructive, masterpieces of metal greatness this band is. They’re the next inspiration to all metal musicians since the great PANTERA.
They can and have made a forever mark in the metal world.
Come back to the Denver area.

Ever since i saw them with coal chamber and pantera i have been hooked. each new song, video and concert proves they are here to stay. they keep raising the bar and then smashing it down, then they raise the bar again. it is a god damn heavy metal locomotive. they are here to stay, and so is my loyalty.
