October 11, 2009

TMD has learned that MACHINE HEAD’s recently announced cover of PANTERA’s “Fucking Hostile” is reportedly going to appear on an upcoming PANTERA tribute CD that’s being assembled by an unrevealed UK metal magazine. The disc – it’s being said – is to feature numerous current scene heavyweights covering songs from the great Texas band’s back catalogue.

Pantera

Guitarist/vocalist Robb Flynn recently had this to say about it:

…”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!!!”

Next up, MACHINE HEAD is teaming up with MEGADETH, SLAYER and SUICIDE SILENCE for the “Canadian Carnage East” tour starting on November 8 in Moncton. After that, A U.S. tour with MEGADETH and SUICIDE SILENCE will begin November 14 in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
