MACHINE HEAD have released the official music video for the song “Arrows In Words From The Sky” taken from the band’s tenth album “Of Kingdom And Crown”

The clip, which was culled from hours of footage taken during last year’s “Vikings & Lionhearts” and “Electric Happy Hour (Live)” tours, was directed by Jon Watson and edited by maestro Mike Sloat.

Says MACHINE HEAD: “We think the video showcases perfectly the passion and intensity of the Head Cases and band during our live shows and also provides a glimpse behind the scenes during life on the road with MACHINE HEAD.”

Frontman/founder Robb Flynn adds: “The last few videos have been very artistic and thematic continuing the black-and-white scope of the concept record. For this, we just wanted to have an old-school, ’90s-style live video that is more or less a tribute to our absolutely insane fans (the Head Cases) going bat shit crazy, mixed with some good ol’ life-on-the-road-getting-hammered-backstage-vibe.”

The follow-up to 2018’s “Catharsis”“Of Kingdom And Crown” includes the three songs that were featured on the 2021 “Arrows In Words From The Sky” single: “Become The Firestorm”“Rotten” and “Arrows In Words From The Sky”. Much of the new MACHINE HEAD album was recorded at Sharkbite Studios in Oakland, California with engineer/producer Zack Ohren.

In other news, MACHINE HEAD had to recently cancel their previously announced spring 2023 U.S. tour.

The “The Electric Happy Hour (Live)” tour was scheduled to kick off on May 15 in Ventura, California and run through a total of 18 dates, before wrapping up in Los Angeles on June 9.

MACHINE HEAD revealed the news of the cancellation in a statement released Friday, April 14. The band wrote: “Head Cases of America, it is with great regret that we must inform you that due to reasons entirely beyond our control, we’re forced to cancel our upcoming Electric Happy Hour (Live) tour due to work visa issues.

“As you may know, half the band, as well as a handful of key crew members, reside outside of the US, and while the work visa process can often be quite lengthy, costly and complicated, in the past we were able quickly apply and be granted the needed documents. The same process we’ve been using forever and most recently with both the pre-Covid ‘Burn My Eyes 25th Anniversary Tour‘ and last year’s sold-out Electric Happy Hour Tour dates, this was the last thing on our collective minds. Unfortunately, that is not the case this time around and it is with immense frustration that we bring you this news.

“It must be said, that the post-Covid touring world has complicated this process tenfold and unfortunately, we are feeling the effects of it.

“Preparations for a tour like this takes an enormous amount of work by the agents, tour manager, merchandise printers, ourselves, VIP organizers, and our crew to coordinate. Tens of thousands of dollars have already been spent which we may or may not get back, and most importantly ticket buyers have made plans, and our crew relies on the jobs that the tour provides. It is a staggering blow to us and our team. We wanted nothing more than to pick up where we left off at the end of 2022 with so many shows still fresh in our minds! That was an incredible run and saying we were itching to get back out is a total understatement.

“Our plan is to keep moving forward, starting with a clean slate we begin the process of scheduling dates for the beginning of next year.

“To be clear, we are not postponing the tour. Postponing would mean that you hold on to your tickets until we can reschedule. We know how hard it’s been financially these last few years, so we are choosing to cancel the tour. Canceling allows you to get full refunds for both tickets and VIP packages at the point of purchase.

“Thank you, Head Cases, for your patience and understanding during this difficult time.”

MACHINE HEAD are still set to take the stage at this year’s edition of Milwaukee Metal Fest on May 28 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
