MACHINE HEAD in February parted ways with bassist Adam Duce. The band’s guitarist/vocalist Robb Flynn explained in an online posting: “We may have fired Adam on [February 11], but Adam quit MACHINE HEADwell over a decade ago. He just never bothered to tell anyone… but we all knew it.” A replacement bassist has not yet been announced.
MACHINE HEAD‘s most recent studio album, “Unto The Locust”, sold more than 17,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 22 on The Billboard 200 chart — putting MACHINE HEAD in the Top 25 for the first time in the band’s 17-year history.
