On Friday, December 20th, Machine Head streamed their Electric Happy Hour Christmas Extravaganza 2024.
During the two-hour long video, which can be viewed in its entirety below, Robb Flynn and Jared MacEachern offered up their own unique spin on a whole bunch of seasonal classics, a ton of Metallica covers to celebrate their 43rd anniversary, and the odd one or two of their own songs for good measure.
Machine Head has also issued their 2024 Christmas Card, which can be seen below.
Bay Area metal titans, Machine Head, recently announced a massive North American tour alongside Swedish metal icons In Flames, Italian alt-metallers Lacuna Coil, and American metalcore maestros Unearth.
Head Cases 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 four bands on the tour adding vocals for a Wu-Tang Clan-level thrash collaboration.
