Machine Head + Bring Me The Horizon + DevilDriver + Darkest Hour @ Birmingham NIA, 4th December 2011

Machine Head Over the past few years Machine Head have clawed their way back into the realms of metal royalty, thanks mainly to the phenomenal 2007 album, The Blackening, which saw the band receive its first Grammy nomination. After 20 years together it seems the band are finally getting the recognition they deserve, and this arena tour sees them playing their biggest headlining gigs yet.

Mindless Self Indulgence + Bring Me The Horizon + Dir En Grey + Black Tide + In Case Of Fire @ Birmingham Academy - 30th January 2009

Mindless Self Indulgence In Case Of Fire played a short but sweet set, kick starting the night with their heavy rock. While they were a little lacking in energy, the power of the three-piece really shone through, the single guitar cutting through the mix in a way that the later bands really needed. While the songs are little formulaic the short set meant that there was nothing that could really displease. I get the feeling that next time they play in Birmingham a lot more people will know the words. Perhaps in a year or so these guys will be huge, but for now you can tell their a new band.
