Machine Head release new music video for ‘Do Or Die’

MACHINE HEAD have released a brand new music video!

The new music video, for the track Do Or Die, is the brand new single from the Bay Area titans and comes as the band kick off their An Evening With European tour.

The new song was produced by Robb Flynn and Zack Ohren [FALLUJAH, ALL SHALL PERISH] at Sharkbite Studios in Oakland, CA. It was mixed by Russ Russell [AT THE GATES, NAPALM DEATH, SIKTH] at Parlour Studios, UK.

Do or Die is three minutes and 45 seconds of unadulterated, neanderthal rage. FUCK EVERYONE!” says frontman Robb Flynn. Bassist Jared MacEachern concurs, saying, “I’m blown away at how this video turned out. I was fucking pumped up after my first viewing. A pissed off song deserves a pissed off video! It’s a no-holds-barred, in-your-face, fuck off kinda song… Ragers rejoice!” Carlos Cruz [WARBRINGER, POWER TRIP] played drums on the track and states, Do or Die is by far the most extreme song in the MACHINE HEAD catalogue.”

As mentioned, MACHINE HEAD are currently touring across Europe on their An Evening With tour. The current European tour sees the band celebrating the Burn My Eyes 25th Anniversary, with the band building on their wildly popular An Evening With… format for a three-hour musical extravaganza consisting of two parts. Part One features a battery of modern classics from the band’s vast catalog, such as Imperium, Halo, Ten Ton Hammer and The Blood, The Sweat, The Tears. This set will feature frontman/guitarist Robb Flynn and bassist Jared MacEachern performing alongside new members, Vogg Kiełtyka and Matt Alston on guitar and drums, respectively. Part Two will feature the band’s classic debut album Burn My Eyes played in its entirety for the first time ever on tour. Taking the stage for this part of the set will be Burn My Eyes-era alumni and original drummer Chris Kontos and original guitarist Logan Mader.

New shredder, Vogg Kiełtyka is thrilled to join the ranks, saying, “It’s a huge privilege to be a part of this amazing tour. #BurnMyEyes25 tour reaches more and more places. After rehearsals and pre-production in Germany, I can confirm there is no way you can miss out on this.” And new drummer Matt Alston says, “I’m so stoked to be part of the Burn My Eyes 25th Anniversary Tour. Being on stage with Robb, Jared, and Vogg, performing songs I grew up listening to and in front of thousands of Head Cases is just amazing. AND then being able to have my face melted by the Burn My Eyes show…it just doesn’t get much better than that.”
