Machine Head and Fear Factory to Tour Early Next Year
Last month, our friends over at Metal Injection held their first ever festival and two of the bigger names on the bill were Machine Head and Fear Factory. Though we can’t suggest for sure that that show was the catalyst for today’s newly announced ‘Slaughter The Martøur Nørth America 2024.’
Set to kick off on January 19 in San Francisco, this huge run of shows will include support by Orbit Culture and Gates To Hell. It will all come to an end on February 24 in Los Angeles, California. Unlike other North American tours, this one’s got more than two Canada gigs in its itinerary.
Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn called the slate of shows “the greatest metal tour on Earth.”
“So stoked to be getting back on the road in America/Canada with four masters of soul-crushing heaviness and an absolutely earth-shattering bill. Fear Factory has long been our brothers-in-arms, pioneers, and innovators of a sound that had yet to exist. Orbit Culture are the fast-rising Swedish modern metal maniacs bringing their unique spin to the world, and Gates To Hell absolutely blew my mind at Milwaukee Metalfest with their sheer savage brutality. North America, we’re ready to crush skulls, crush beers, and crush everything in our path!”
Similarly, Fear Factory guitarist Dino Cazares said this was a great time for two bands that “came up…together” to put on a killer show.
“We are honored to be touring with the mighty Machine Head. We came up in the metal scene together and both bands have stamped their mark in modern metal, plus Robb has been a good friend of mine for close to 30 years. We are fucking excited for the metal fans to see this amazing package and we can’t wait to get out there. Let’s Fucking Rage!”
Tickets go on sale to the general public this Friday, October 20 at 10 a.m. local time, though there are a handful of presales going on right now as long as you have a code. The full list of dates can be found below.
