Killswitch Engage checks in with a video update!

It's been way too long since we had some Killswitch Engage activity, frankly, so getting this update into the office was just what the doctor ordered and a nice lil reminder that the guys are hitting UK shores for Download Festival!!!

In the video, the guys talks about their recent US tour with Disturbed- the “Music As A Weapon” tour- and what it's like playing to new crowds when your last tour played to your own fans. They also fill us in about how they keep themselves occupied on the tour bus!

Check it out…

Devildriver’s Dez checks in from the road!

Whilst we here at the Roadrunner office were out at the pub on Friday night, Devildriver’s main man Dez was updating the bands blog on their Official Myspace. Having just finished up their tour with Slipknot, Dez looks forward to their upcoming Euro dates and the release of their new album Pray for Villains (due to hit shelves on July 13th).

“We finished with Slipknot last night in there home town the show was fucking off the hook with the arena floor turning into a mass of bodies pitting for there lives !”

"Big thanks go out to the Knot boys and there crew for treating us with such kindness and respect !

Machine Head’s Robb Flynn checks in from the road!

Machine Head’s Robb Flynn checks in from the road!

Robb Flynn has checked in from the road on the band official MySpace blog. He talks about (amongst other things) being on tour with Metallica.

"We're out with Metallica right now in America (that's right bitches!!... main support to METALL-I-FUCKIN'-CA in America!!!) and we're super stoked about it! Most of those shows have been pretty sweet...The stage is cool too. Having played in the corner of a room for over half of my life, it took some getting used to playing in-the-round, or, "in-the-rectangle" if you wanna get technical. First night in L.A. was a disaster, but after that we got it down. We definitely command it now, and we *have* to command it. If we don't, it's so easy to just get lost up on that giant stage, and lose the attention of an audience who, for the most part, have never even heard of us..."

“Slipknot tour was amazing! I really can't go on enough about it. 10 1/2 weeks with Slipknot, man, I've wanted kill some bands after 2 weeks, but after 10 weeks with them, I miss all those dudes already. Japan fucking ruled!!! 8 truly amazing shows!!! The crowds there are out of their fucking MINDS!!! And despite the Loudpark Festival being a technical nightmare of biblical proportions for us (I played the majority of the show without a guitar), the crowd was jaw-droppingly brutal!!! They chanted "Machine Fucking Head" for 15 minutes after we left the stage!!!??? Scotland, Manchester and New York City, you better watch your backs, you have new rival in the circle pit department, and they may have already stolen the crown... check out the pit when the fast part kicks in during Imperium... ZANG!!!???”
