The Eighth Plague Tour

A lot of the greatest shows of our last touring cycle were in Europe and the UK, so the prospect of this lineup combined with these crowds has us extremely stoked to get out there and tear it up!

The tour continued through North America, with Suicide Silence, Darkest Hour and Rise to Remain, which began on January 15, 2012 in Denver.

[4] On January 29, 2012 in Buffalo, New York Machine Head invited a 13-year-old fan onstage to play the song Aesthetics of Hate, from The Blackening album.

The band said in a statement: "While no one is willing to provide evidence that would prove unfavorable to Disney, sources close to events have suggested that Machine Head remains on a "banned list", and while Dethklok, All That Remains and Black Dahlia Murder will still be allowed to play, the corporate powers at Disney have refused to allow Machine Head to perform.

"[10] On November 13, 2012, Machine Head exited their North American tour with Dethklok, All That Remains and Black Dahlia Murder due to matters completely beyond their control.
