Machine Head are working on new music, but it's a steady pace as the band has yet to name their replacement for longtime bassist Adam Duce. Frontman Robb Flynn spoke at length about their current progress in his latest online journal entry and also revealed that the search for a new bassist has been narrowed to eight.

Machine Head are getting closer to rounding out their lineup for their summer's Mayhem Festival. The group revealed that they've completed the submission process to fill their vacant bassist slot and are taking the next step.

Machine Head are anxious for the 2013 Mayhem Festival and have added some extra touring to get them in the right mindset. In a new posting the band has revealed they will play three headlining shows as part of 'The Road to Mayhem Tour.'

Listen up, bassists, because the chance of a lifetime may be within your grasp. Machine Head are holding public auditions to find a temporary bass player. The goal of Machine Head's new experiment?

There’s a lot of focus on Deep Purple at the moment. First off, it was revealed that an all-star tribute album was in the works to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the band’s ‘Machine Head’ album. Then, it was revealed that the group’s current lineup was plotting a new record and touring for 2013. Now comes word that a pair of vinyl reissues are in the works for October.

Based on the six songs we’ve heard so far from the upcoming Deep Purple tribute album ‘Re-Machined: A Tribute to ‘Machine Head’,’ fans are in for a much bigger treat than the sometimes dubious cover album format often delivers.

As far as tribute albums go, the upcoming Deep Purple ‘Re-Machined: A Tribute to Machine Head‘ should be a pretty solid effort. Sporting acts like Metallica, Iron Maiden, Chickenfoot and Carlos Santana, it looks as though no effort was wasted in getting some top performers.
