Author Joel McIver will release the first biography of San Francisco Bay Area metallers MACHINE HEAD, entitled Inside The Machine, on October 15th via Omnibus Press.

A book description states: Over 17 years and eight albums, heavy metal band Machine Head have sold millions of units, earned a Grammy nomination and won personal awards from Metal Hammer and other magazines. The story is a classic rise, fall and rise again scenario - they exploded onto the metal scene in 1994, enjoyed a successful string of albums and then lost their way in the nu-metal era. Now they are in the middle of one of metal's most acclaimed comebacks. Joel McIver has interviewed all the band-members several times and has a unique insight into their rollercoaster story, which includes alcohol addiction, inter-band brawls and therapy, sackings, near-splits and two decades of the heaviest music known to man, delivered all over the world.

PitCam.TV interviewed Machine Head guitarist/vocalist Robb Flynn at this year's With Full Force festival on June 29th in Löbnitz, Germany.

During the chat, which can be viewed below, Flynn revealed: "We're actually in between labels right now — the last record was with Roadrunner, so we're actually in a pretty unique position, because we've got a lot of different choices that we can go with right now, and the world is, basically our oyster. It's a rad position to be in. Eight years ago, we got turned down by 35 labels, and now every label on the planet wants to sign us. So it's pretty awesome. So we're gonna play it out. We're gonna check it out and we may very well end up on Roadrunner. We just need to make sure that it's the right thing and that they get what we're doing, because we're not a pop band, we're not some mainstream artist. I mean, we're the biggest underground metal band, I guess, there is."
