Machine Head put the hammer down in lyric video for Triple Beam

Machine Head

Machine Head have released a lyric video for their track Triple Beam.

The song features on the band’s latest album Catharsis, which launched back in January via Nuclear Blast.

Machine Head have decided to release the video to coincide with their last-ever tour with the current lineup, which is taking place now across North America.

Speaking with Metal Hammer about the track, Machine Head mainman Robb Flynn said: “I’m just gonna say, ‘This is a nu-metal song.’ Ha ha! 

“It came together super-quick. You’re basically hearing the first time that we ever played that song and the first time I ever sung it.”

Machine Head’s current Freaks & Zeroes tour will close the chapter with the current lineup, with Phil Demmel and Dave McClain due to quit the band following the last show at Catalyst in Santa Cruz on November 24.

Earlier this week, as the band kicked off the tour in Sacramento, Flynn addressed the crowd about the situation.

He said: “Tonight is all about new beginnings. I’m sure you guys heard the news that Phil and Dave are going to be moving on after this. Ladies and gentlemen, please keep those loudest screams for those two gentlemen.”
