THIS WEEKEND... - November 11, 2009

Alright so this weekend we're back at the House of Thor! On the line up we have our friends Pengea and Cult of the Flag playing beside us. It's going to be one hell of a show... Not only because we will be there but also because GREEN JELLO (Jelly) is headlining! Yeah you heard right. So if you want to hear some ear pounding music get your ass out to the House of Thor this upcoming Sunday. Info is on the show list..

HELLOWEEN !!! - November 2, 2009

Jesus CHRIST! What a wild weekend... Friday was Tupelo Mississippi with Moses Crow (which was a blast!), we actually rocked so hard we blew the clubs breaker lol. Guess you could say MM went to MS and destroyed it! Saturday was the annual Helloween show at Stage Stop in Memphis, TN. It was a packed house to say the very least and special guests included Saliva! Definitely no shortage of great music.. Big shout out to Pengea who rocked the house! Thanks to everyone who showed up and helped make this event another memorable blast!!

G.M.A. IN GEORGIA - October 23, 2009

Massacre Machine is hitting the road this weekend in order to bring HEAVY METAL to Atlanta, GA. The Georgia Metal Alliance is having a hell of a bash and we're inviting all our fans as well as fans of the genre to come out and party! We'll be playing in good company with several great bands including our brothers in metal... Cult of the Flag.

 

You can find out all the details about the event on our show calendar. Make sure to check out our other scheduled shows as well.. We'll be back in Memphis in no time! Want us in your town? Contact us, don't be shy!

WHAT'S UP WIT CHA NOW ? - October 12, 2009

Well the Heber Springs show has come at last and man what a time... There was no shortage of great bands! Lucky for us we were there to enjoy them after OPENING THE SHOW! Yeah we opened, had a blast and had quite a few people talking. We were also pleased to see Metal Press Television on site to film the event. Yep, that's right MM got television time! More information is on the way about how to obtain a copy of the show or just view it in general. We were told to keep everyone checking at:

 

Metal Press Television

 

Pictures of the event will be put up on this website shortly. I would recommend checking back every couple hours cause there were plenty of good shots. See ya at the next show!

WHAT'S UP WIT CHA ? - September 21, 2009

Okay so the website has undergone several renovations. Uh okay quite the understatement, it's had a complete overhaul! Besides that the band is working on setting up a brand new jam room. One major benefit is that we'll have a permanent residence in which to make music. The result of that will be Massacre Machine being in the studio for the next long while working on BRAND NEW material for the masses. Yeah rejoice, new stuff is on the way just be patient. In the mean time we're still making appearances here and there. Check out our calendar to see where we'll be next...

Show bookings will slow down at the close of the year. After November we won't be doing quite so many appearances due to focusing solely on being in the studio. We know you guys can appreciate this so please have a little patience while we do what we do best which is bring the hardcore.

You won't be disappointed.

RESURRECTED & READY TO ROCK !!! - June 30, 2009

Hell Yeah...A new reworked Massacre Machine is on the way...Details Soon !!!
COME CHECK OUT OUR FIRST MEMPHIS SHOW WITH THE NEW LINEUP ON JULY 4TH !!!
