MACHINE HEAD are inviting fans in the Czech Republic to take part in their next video shoot. A message from the band states:

"Calling all Machine Head fans in Prague! Machine Head will be filming a video for the track 'Darkness Within' in the Czech Republic, and we want you in it!

Only the most die-hard, crazy and insane Machine Head fans are asked to apply as you will be required to show your passion and intensity on camera. Send your age, contact info and a photo or video proving to us why you should be in the video to darknesswithinvideo@gmail.com.

Filming will take place between May 4th and May 9th."

Omnibus Press has set a tentative October 15th release date for Inside The Machine, the world's first MACHINE HEAD biography, from author Joel McIver (Justice For All: The Truth About METALLICA, Crazy Train: The High Life And Tragic Death Of RANDY RHOADS, Overkill: The Untold Story Of MOTÖRHEAD, The Bloody Reign Of SLAYER, etc.).

A book description reads: 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 various 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.

Says Joel: "Out in October, Inside The Machine details the rise, fall and rise again of Oakland's finest thrash/groove metallers. More details as they emerge, but you can snap one up here. Which reminds me, I must finish writing it."
