There are many green initiatives that are being put in place at each festival date in order to keep the surrounding environment clean and functioning efficiently! Some of the resourceful steps that the ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK MAYHEM FESTIVAL is taking this year include using cleaner and environmentally friendly biodiesel fuel in the tour caravan, a Cell Funds donation program organized to raise funds for the Unite the United and Music Saves Lives organizations (fans will receive a Skip-the-Line pass for donating used working, broken, or defective cell phones), and a traveling on-site eco team put in place to make sure the individual venues have all of the recycling receptacles and materials that they need. Local volunteers will join the festival dates to facilitate recycling onsite! More initiatives are being planned in addition to the already stellar conservation efforts already in place.

Machine Head Annouces “The Eighth Plague” Tour! Dont miss them this summer!

MACHINE HEAD ANNOUNCE “THE EIGHTH PLAGUE” TOUR!
Oakland, CA – Off on the distant horizon what appears to be a massive cloud can be seen blackening the sky. As it gets closer it becomes obvious that the “cloud” is no cloud at all, but a massive swarm preparing to descend on the shores of Europe and the U.K.. “The Eighth Plague” tour will make land on November 2nd and rip a swath across the landscape with a magnitude heretofore unseen.
MACHINE HEAD, in support of their newest crushing release “Unto The Locust” (out late September 2011) will collide with the land and lay waste to every city in their path. Accompanied by very special guests Bring Me The Horizon as well as DevilDriver and Darkest Hour, “The Eighth Plague” tour promises to be the most exciting, hard-hitting tour in recent memory.
“This will no doubt be the heaviest show you’re going to see this year” states Machine Head frontman and guitarist Robb Flynn. “A lot of the greatest shows of our last touring cycle were in Europe and the U.K., so the prospect of this lineup combined with these crowds has us extremely stoked to get out there and tear it up! New material, great venues, killer fans… we absolutely cannot wait!”
Adds Bring Me The Horizon vocalist Oliver Sykes, “We’re proper excited for these dates with Machine Head! We were listening to them before we even started BMTH, so to be going on tour with them is blowin’ our minds! These will be our last U.K./Euro dates before we take a break to record our next album as well, so it’s gonna be mental! We honestly can’t wait.”
Says DevilDriver vocalist Dez Fafara, “We always love touring in packages that offer a diversity of styles of metal. This is yet another one of those packages. I would like to personally thank Robb Flynn for inviting us to the party. See you in the fucking pit.”
“We are so excited to announce our upcoming winter European tour with Machine Head, Bring Me the Horizon, and Devildriver” exclaims Darkest Hour vocalist John Henry. “European audiences are true purists when it comes to their love for metal music and great metal concerts, so there’s no better place in a world for this tour to go down. It will take us to cities we haven’t been to in a decade, as well as a few new ones. Meeting new friends and exploring other cultures has always been something we enjoy as a band, and getting to explore some of these places with this great bill for the first time is both a great privilege and an honor. If you can make it out to one of these shows please do, you won’t be let down.”
After over a year hiatus from touring, busy writing, recording and crafting their newest masterpiece, Machine Head cannot wait to be back in Europe and the U.K. on stage before some of the most diehard fans metal has to offer. A relationship forged with years of relentless touring is about to be reignited. Tickets go on sale June 24th. Give yourself Unto The Locust or be left to wander aimlessly in the aftermath.

We just came back from Europe from doing a few big festivals and we’ll be back there in July for more, before the states tour. Europe has been on to something for years, with regard to having hardcore bands on this kind of platform. Hopefully this trend continues and grows in the states. I am one of the promoters of the BnB bowl in NYC. We’ve tried to set an example for years now with that event. Hopefully, we can do it “open air” proper style some day! See you all in the Midwest, either at a fest or club show. Come through!”

Corey Taylor talks about his new book “Seven Deadly Sins”
by sidine on Jun.23, 2011, under Books, The-Voices.net
Corey Taylor discusses his upcoming book “Seven Deadly Sins”
Three part interview premieres on www.thecoreytaylor.com on July 5th
“I’ve been threatening to write a book for a long time, but since every Tom, Dick and Harry writes an autobiography, I didn’t want to just do that. My approach to writing is the same as my approach to music: I don’t want to do what everybody else is doing,” says Slipknot and Stone Sour front man Corey Taylor about his upcoming book, Seven Deadly Sins. That Metal Show’s Jim Florentine recently conducted an in-depth interview with Corey about the book, his life, and his music, and the conversation will premiere on Corey’s website http://www.thecoreytaylor.com, starting on July 5. Much like the book itself, it’s a riveting and personal discussion, and we’re airing it in three parts so fans don’t miss a word of it. The three parts of the interview will premiere on three Tuesdays in July (July 5, 12, and 19) on http://www.thecoreytaylor.com, each at 5pm eastern time.
“Seven Deadly Sins” is Taylor’s candid, outrageous manifesto reflecting on the subject and nature of sin. The book will be released July 12 in the U.S and July 14 in the U.K. Check http://www.thecoreytaylor.com for other worldwide release dates.
