GET FUKKIN' READY !!! - April 15, 2008

Alright...Listen up...Rehearsals with Hype are going immensely better than we expected and we're ALL FIRED UP for our first show on our home stage here in Memphis with Hype...And those of you that have seen us...You haven't seen us take it to this level of intensity...FUKKIN' BRUTAL...Have your ass at this show !!!

OUR THANKS TO ALL OF YOU - March 30, 2008

...who came out and showed your support for Billy Adams' memory and for your willingness to give for his family's needs. We also really appreciate the positive comments about our return to the "live" arena with our newest member on drums...HYPE !!! This was our first experience at The Metal Shop and we felt great reconnecting with all of our Jonesboro, AR area friends and fans. We know this couldn't have been done without the efforts of everybody involved but we feel we gotta give it up to our brother, Jason Barker of Dark Embrace and to The Metal Shop for hosting it. Below are some Pics from the show.

SO WHAT'S ALL THE HYPE ??? - March 23, 2008

HELL YEAH !!! We've found a new drummer...We're pleased to announce that HYPE formerly of "1057 Walker" has been chosen to handle drum duty...With very little rehearsal time, we already think he's good enough to throw to the wolves and do his first show with us this coming Saturday night at The Metal Shop in Jonesboro, AR to pay our repect to our lost brother, Billy Adams. We want to see ALL of our local friends out to show HYPE some support and break him in right !!! To all of our extended family of friends and fans, please join us in welcoming HYPE into the brotherhood !!!

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 !!!

Hell is bein' raised in Heaven today...Rest in Peace, Brother !!!

MASSACRE MACHINE LIVE AGAIN !!! - May 20, 2007

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 !!!

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

ROCKIN' THE RALLY POINT !!! - November 4, 2006

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 !!!

HELL-OWEEN III PARTY 2006 - October 29, 2006

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.

MDA MASSACRE II - August 27, 2006

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.
