Want to promote a tour? Get all the bands involved to work on a single together. We’ve seen a few bands do this before (hell, Bowling for Soup, The Dollyrots and Patent Pending made an EP out of a similar project), but not all of them are as good as this. As someone has already posted in the YouTube comments, it’ll be a riot seeing them all on stage playing the track together!
Earlier this week, Bay Area icons Machine Head announced they are kicking off 2025 with a massive North American tour alongside labelmates and Swedish melodic death metal icons In Flames, Italian metal titans Lacuna Coil, and American metalcore outfit Unearth. The 24-date trek will kick off on April 5th with a “hometown” show for Machine Head at the legendary Fox Theater then heads South for a stop at Sick New World Festival before heading East and making its way across Canada.
Fans can enjoy a sneak peek of what is in store for the upcoming North American tour via the Machine Head single, “These Scars Won’t Define Us” featuring all 4 bands on the tour adding vocals for a Wu-Tang Clan level thrash collaboration.
Listen/purchase “These Scars Won’t Define Us” digitally, or watch the lyric video below.
