Machine Head

The full-length, uncensored version of Machine Head's new video, "Aesthetics of Hate", is now available on the "Media" page of the band's official web site. Alternately, it can be downloaded at this location (Flash Video file, 22 MB). Directed by Mike Sloat, the clip is the first from Machine Head's new album, 'The Blackening', in stores now. The track was inspired by an article called "Aesthetics of Hate: R.I.P. Dimebag Abbott, & Good Riddance". The article, written by William Grim for the conservative web site the Iconoclast, basically kicked fans of the slain Pantera guitarist while they were down, just days after he was killed onstage. The song is a "fuck you" to Grim, from Machine Head mainman Robert Flynn.
