This summer, Nuclear Blast Entertainment will release MACHINE HEAD’s next full-length album, the band’s debut for the label. In anticipation and to celebrate Record Store Day (April 19th), a limited edition 10” will be released featuring a demo version of a brand new track, entitled 'Killers & Kings'.

Never heard or released before, Machine Head fans have been waiting for new music from the band for the last thee years and 'Killers & Kings' does not disappoint. Side B of the release will also feature Machine Head covering a track by the southern California hardcore outfit, IGNITE.

“I remember growing up in the thrash scene and always wanting to hear the demo version of songs,” commented vocalist/guitarist Robb Flynn. “You searched them out. Thankfully my buddy Jim was a big ‘tape trader,’ and through trading we had both METALLICA demos, EXODUS demos, bootlegs of songs sometimes ‘years’ before they came out. I knew how to play every note of Pleasure Of The Flesh by Exodus, easily 2 years before the record was out! My friends and I would debate the merits of each, but we all agreed, It was so much cooler to hear it BEFORE the album is out! So we're gonna do that for you. I can't wait for you guys to hear this stuff."

This limited edition 10” will also feature four alternate covers with two specific colors, each limited to 1,000 copies each.

'Killers & Kings' 10” tracklisting:

Side One:

'Killers & Kings' (demo version)

Side Two:

'Our Darkest Days/Bleeding' (IGNITE cover)
