Thanks to our good friend Jennie Jolly we now have another banner for you...
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.myspace.com/massacremachine"><img src="http://www.bigdaddyshred.com/images/banner.gif"></a> We would appreciate your help spreading the MASSACRE MANIA !!! Thanks from Brice, Chuck & Mike...COPY, PASTE & PIMP YOUR BOYS !!!

Sup Y'all...We ran across this cool site we think you'll like called FIND A GRAVE ...You can view the grave sites of thousands of famous people from around the world and leave a comment if you wish to pay your respects. Some notables to visit...Darrell "Dimebag" Abbott , Randy Rhoads , Criss Oliva and Curly Howard ...N-YUK, N-YUK, N-YUK, Bitches !!!

It might not seem like it though. We're still looking for a full time drummer and you wouldn't think it would be that damn difficult to find one. Patrick has started college classes again and can only help us on a very limited basis now. We really want to thank him for getting us through all of our summer shows...You're the best, Brother !!!

Today would have been Darrell "DIMEBAG" Abbott's 41st Birthday had he not so violently, senselessly and tragically been taken away from all of us. Let’s celebrate the life of one of the greatest guitarist ever by havin’ a “Black Tooth Grin” for Dime and party your asses off in his memory! Hell is bein' raised in Heaven today...Rest in Peace, Brother !!!

Well...Between drummer issues and just plain being busy with live shows, we finally have a new show posted. Just click on this LINK . If you haven't seen us since Patrick has been filling in on drums or never, give this one a look & especially a listen. The video is a bit dark but the audio is surprisingly good...Thanks & JAM OUT !!!

As you can see The Stage Stop BIRTHDAY BASH on June 30th with us and our boys in Dark Embrace (Jonesboro, AR), Anger Unlimited (Tupelo, MS) and Decadence Point (Memphis, TN) was a Headbanging Great Time. We want to thank the bands, the venue, friends & family that came out for an evening of Metal Music & Hell Raisin' !!!

If you were curious about whether or not you wanted to come out and see us LIVE & LOUD (Yeah, like a $5-$8 cover would break yo ass)...Here ya go...Come on out to The Stage Stop on June 30th and PARTY with us and our boys in Brutal Honesty (Southaven, MS), Dark Embrace (Jonesboro, AR), Anger Unlimited (Tupelo, MS) and Decadence Point (Memphis, TN)...It's a Birthday Celebration for our former drummer Marvin (June 21st), Brice (June 30th), Chuck (July 3rd) & Mike (July 24th) !!! LET'S DRINK 'EM OUT OF JAGERMEISTER AGAIN !!!

Last night's show at the Dungeon in Jonesboro, AR marked our return to live shows. We can't thank Patrick enough for what he brought to our live show and with only 3 brief (but intense) rehearsals. His spin on the music breathes new life into everything. Get your ass out to a show and hear it for yourself. Judging from the crowd response, this was easily one of our best shows yet. Gotta give it up for our hosts Dark Embrace (Jonesboro, AR) and our boys in Embodied Host and Sanguine (Burlison, TN) that were part of an evening of sheer BRUTALITY !!! Go check out some of the pics (Thanks, Shelia) and witness some of the mayhem first hand !!!

Recorded LIVE on Friday, April 13th from our home stage at The Stage Stop here in Memphis, TN. We now have the tracks posted on the Audio/Video page. Want a copy ? Go to the contacts page and shoot us a E-mail to request info on how to get yours. This show was Gary's last Memphis performance with us, so all you Blast Beat Beast fans come Getcha Pull !!!

We have been fortunate enough to enlist Patrick of our fellow Memphis band "Detriment" to help us out for a while as scheduling permits between our 2 bands. We should be able to start booking some selective shows around the Mid-South and look forward to getting back out there to throw down for all of you again...We are honored to get to play with such an awesome drummer and hope everyone comes out to the shows to hear his spin on some Massacre Machine Music...SEE YA IN THE PIT...MM

Here's an E-Mail we got from Sandy at Starmadillo Radio...

Hey, Guys...Got the mp3's, thanks a heap. FOR THE FIRST TIME, we are featuring an unsigned band on STARMADILLO RADIO ONLINE in their own time slot, that my friends, is MASSACRE MACHINE. We have 3 of your songs in a 3 hour set. We made a special set just for you, to spread your metal word every Monday evening from 5PM-8PM CST called "Metal Madness with Memphis' Massacre Machine" . I know I will be listening...and it will be fucking loud! Massacre Machine will be played with "signed" bands here, so if you don't like some of the bands you hear, let us know. And, if you like some bands you don't hear, let us know as well. Currently, there is some Pantera, Lamb of God, Black Sabbath, Metallica, Anthrax, etc. MM fits nicely, don't you think?

Well...Since we're kinda taking a breather, I got to thinking about all our past live shows since the beginning of MASSACRE MACHINE and I must say, we've been pretty busy since January 2003. You don't really realize it until you kinda see it all laid out there in front of you. Click here and you'll see what we mean. We want to thank everybody present at all of those shows as well as the venues, their staff, the other bands and their fans that supported these shows and any other accidental patrons. We hope to be even busier in 2007 as we look to venture even futher out like St.Louis, Dallas & Atlanta...KEEP the FAITH...MM

The Rally Point here in Memphis is fast becoming one of our favorite local venues to throw down on some metal. Last night was a prime example of why...Along with our friends in Sanguine , Sacrum , Handbook for the Recently Deceased and Walking Faceless we shook that place to it's very foundation !!! The crowds just seem to get larger and rowdier every time...A huge THANKS and a HELL YEAH to everyone that came out to support the brutality that is slowly rising, but surely building momentum. A shout out to Ashton of Cremains for the show pics...SUPPORT MEMPHIS METAL DAMNIT...RECOGNIZE !!!

DAMN...What a night !!! Along with our brutal brethern in Torn Apart , Anger Unlimited , Sacrum and The Importance of Poison ...The Stage Stop was bombarded with METAL !!! We had a fukkin' blast and really appreciate everybody that got into the spirit of the evening. There were some very interesting costumes being exposed (literally) and lots of debauchery. THANKS to all of the friends, fans and family of ALL of the bands participating in this event. We look forward to seeing you again soon and BTW...You don't have to wait until HELL-OWEEN IV...Horns High !!! Thanks to Shelia and Steven for filming our set and Yvonne for the still pics.

The Princess Theatre was invaded last night by MASSACRE MACHINE and our boys in Sanguine and Anger Unlimited who threw this KICK ASS PARTY !!! The Princess is a really cool venue and we got to meet some great new people. As always, we want to THANK everyone for their show of support. We plan on getting back there to throw down with y'all again SOON !!!

HELL YEAH...With the help of our metal brethern in Thirty 2 Life , Sanguine , Sacrum , Shepherd of Souls , Valhalla and all the family, friends and fans present, we were able to raise $2,018 for MDA !!! While we were hoping to top last year, we are still proud to have had the help to achieve this since the Poison/Cinderella show was the same night and the big 93X Fest was the night before. We really APPRECIATE every cent donated. We also owe a BIG THANKS to our sponsors for donating goods or services...Panchos Mexican Restaurants (cheese dip & chips for nachos), Hyman Builder's Supply (tool boxes & belts), Red Barn Sports Center (fishing gear & shirts), All American Tattoos (ink), Bill Scudder of Crosstown Cookers (BBQ meat), Shelia Gordon (gourmet chocolate & show pics), Lady Di & Mom Wolf for the afghan & baked goods and of course, The Stage Stop for hosting the event. If we have overlooked anyone, you know you have our gratitude. Check out the new pics and you'll see why we're glad to help. We hope to see more of you at MDA MASSACRE III...THANKS !!!

Who would have thought that the quiet little town of Leachville, AR would be down with some Heavy Metal. Along with our boys in Thirty 2 Life , Hero 9 and Burnt we rocked The Melody Theatre !!! It was really cool to have the mayor hangin' out gettin' his metal on and the crowd was awesome. We have our set posted on the "Look & Listen" page for those of you that missed out or just want to re-live it. THANKS to EVERYBODY that came out and supported the show. We hope to make it back to see you soon !!! New show pics courtesy of Misty Adams .
