Machine Head records cover of Pantera’s “Fucking Ostile”!

Guitarist/vocalist Robb Flynn of San Francisco Bay Area metallers Machine Head has issued the following update:

"After two-and-a-half years of touring, we're (finally) two months into a three-month break, and let me tell you, it's been awesome!!! I've been out camping/wakeboarding a ton, Adam [Duce, bass] is taking flying lessons and just did his first brief solo flight, Dave's [McClain, drums] hanging in Alameda enjoying his new Yamaha drum kit (amazing!) and was hanging in L.A. with the Korn dudes and his longtime buddy Ross Robinson [producer and McClain's former Catalepsy bandmate, and Phil [Demmel, guitar] was most recently 'best man' at his best friend Shack's wedding. We've also found time to hop into Trident Studios with Juan Urteaga and record a Pantera tune for a b-side. We're doing 'Fucking Hostile'!!! Dave is done with drums (nailed it on the second take!), and I finished guitars yesterday and got vocals in the bag. Phil comes in tomorrow, then Adam, then it'll be mixed and mastered by the end of the week. Mike Sloat has been documenting, so we'll probably have video snippets up when the whole thing gets closer to release. We also just announced our sole U.S. headline date on November 6 in NY, so FUCKIN' A!!! Come make a road trip to N.Y. for some raging metal!!!"

Machine Head will team up with Megadeth, Slayer and Suicide Silence for the "Canadian Carnage East" tour beginning on November 8 in Moncton…yeah Montreal is November 11th (you shouldn’t miss that!!!). A U.S. tour with Megadeth and Suicide Silence will follow starting November 14 in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Soulfly, Trivium and others remember Dimebag

Soulfly, Trivium and others remember Dimebag.

Austria's Mulatschag.TV has posted an eight-minute documentary on late Pantera/Damageplan guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott featuring interview clips with members of Disturbed, Slayer, Trivium and Soulfly.

"Dimebag" Darrell Abbott was shot to death along with three others during a Damageplan performance at the Alrosa Villa nightclub in Columbus, Ohio in December 2004.

Dimebag was posthumously inducted into the Hollywood RockWalk in May 2007 in a ceremony attended by Dimebag's brother Vinnie Paul, their father Jerry Abbott and Dimebag's longtime girlfriend, Rita Haney, along with members of Alice in Chains, Anthrax, Kiss, Slayer and Ozzy Osbourne's band.

A bronze bust of Dimebag was unveiled during the ceremony and later installed on the RockWalk's posthumous inductee wall, alongside luminaries such as Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix and Robert Johnson.

A special one-time only all-star tribute to Dimebag was held on August 9, 2008 at the one-day Ozzfest at Dallas' Pizza Hut Park.

The tribute to "Dimebag" Darrell featured Vinnie Paul (acting as musical director and playing drums), along with an array of prominent hard rockers, including Hatebreed's Jamey Jasta, Slayer's Kerry King, Soulfly's Max Cavalera, King Diamond, Anthrax's Scott Ian, Alice in Chains' Jerry Cantrell and Metallica's Lars Ulrich.
