MACHINE HEAD has recruited Brandon Sigmund from fellow San Francisco Bay Area metal band HOSTILITY to handle the bass parts on the group's upcoming North American tour, BLABBERMOUTH.NET can exclusively reveal. Sigmund is the temporary replacement for regular MACHINE HEAD bassist Adam Duce, who was forced to sit out the upcoming trek after suffering a broken leg while dirt biking in Redding, CA. Initially thought to be nothing more than a bad sprain, x-rays later confirmed the break, which required surgery to attach a steel plate and two screws to the broken bone.

The Black Tyranny Tour — featuring MACHINE HEAD, ARCH ENEMY, THROWDOWN and SANCTITY — will kick off later this week. ..:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
