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? Rock on! ...Sandy

Cheers...You guys kik ass, much better than most bands out there at the moment.

Hey Metal Heads, Congrats on the radio action !!! I knew you guys were headed for Madness !!! Massacre is fucking Bad Ass !!! Cant wait to come see you guys again !! Looks like I will be makin' a road trip to Memphis when I get off this damn boat !!! Home after Feb 7th, LeeLee and I will be lookin' for you Metal Monsters !!! See you soon!!! Congrats once again, Horns High for Massacre !!!

(World Spinning) Thrash at it's best...All hail the thrashing storm! I love the sound of your vocalist....Got that Arch Enemy type of sound. Very nicely done. Highly enjoyed this one.

(Shadow of Death) Wicked riffs and flashy leads. Great combos indeed. Has the old school thrash metal feel to it. Really loved this song. The solo was ill as well. Great job.

Massacre Machine kick fucking ass!! Be amazing if ya got a gig in the UK...Take care & METAL 4 LIFE!!!!!!!!

Hey Guys, I'm playing "Shadow Of Death" on my show this morning and getting a lot of good responses from it...First, I have a listener in Canada tell me "These guys are really good!" I have some good old fashioned hardcore metal heads over in Germany who wanted to know who you guys were and I have a regular listener in Romania who LOVED "Shadow of Death"...So you're getting some new fans. I'll keep playing you guys anytime I'm on www.hardrockradiolive.com .

Hey, my name is Whitney. I am 18 years old and from Tupelo, MS. I got a bulletin wanting people to write about y'alls demos. I think they are awesome. Y'all totally fuckin' rock. I love "Shadow of Death"... it's my favorite. I like the "Tortured Strings" too. I think they both sound perfect the way they are. I have a copy of y'alls demo and a show and I play them all the time. I think y'all have something big going...metal truely lives on through you guys. I hope y'all make a cd soon so I can buy it but until then, I will still keep listening and telling people about you guys. Y'all guys fucking keep throwin' that metal down... Southern Style. See U at the next show....Whitney

MASSACRE MACHINE RULES METAL !!! METAL LIVES ON !!!

Awesome new MP3s. I like "World Spinning" the best though...That is one hell of a guitar riff...LD

Hey man this is real cool stuff...the guitar solo is kickin' ass Bro !!! Rock On !!!

You motherfuckers rock...love the original sound. I gotta catch a show. Keep me informed on whats going on. I live in Tupelo, MS. Keep rockin' and I'll see you soon.

I wanted to take the time to message you and tell you personally what I think of your music and ur demos. First of all I gave them all a listen and I think they are all fantastic. You all have a different perspective for metal...it's not the same old thing that everyone is used to hearing. I think your CD...when released will be absolutely phenominal and will be a huge seller !!! Your sound is incredible and the style...I love it...You all will go very far with this and I'm looking very forward to the release !!! Take care boys and best of luck with everything !!! You have made me a very big fan !!! Love always...Lisa

LeeLee

Fukin' awesome show at the dungeon last nite. If u guys ain't on a world tour next year I'll b pissed.

Massacre Machine came on next, and yeah, they did a massacre all right. They kicked fuckin ass! Another band I'm lookin forward to hearing play again, take Soulfly, mix it with some old Sepultura, man, they fuckin rocked; I loved the fuckin show...It was fuckin nice to see that sound comin outta fuckin Memphis!! Hell fuckin yeah!!! And yeah, I definately told them they fuckin rocked too.

Let me just say a few things about this band. First off, they are four of the nicest people you will ever meet! Plus they are four of the best musicians around! First the Vocals, the best metal vocals I have ever heard in my life. Next the Guitar, PERFECT Chuck is a master on the six string he is someone I look up to! Next Bass guitar, DAMN GOOD BASS PLAYING and great back up vocals! Last but NOT least the LOUDEST drums I have ever heard in my life, and no joke one of the best players in the world! The band is going to be huge one day I can see that and so will you! Their sound is unreal, the people are great, you can’t go wrong with this band! THE BEST LIVE SHOW I HAVE EVER SEEN!

Totally ballistic Shredding. Never heard anything (Tortured Strings) so intense. Stevie Vai is a girl compared to this utterly devastation dose of Shredd!! Keep it up !

Just wanna say say that we enjoyed the fuckin hell outta playing with you guys!!! Fuckin' badass show! The people more than got their money's worth on that one! We hope to hook up with you guys again soon!!!

HELL YEAH!...you guys are too damn heavy for your own good...anytime you wanna play with us...It's on...because we DEFINATELY wanna share the stage with you guys again...

You guys were awesome last night at the Princess, World Spinning was amazing live. I hope y'all come back soon and it was great getting to meet you guys. I wish I could have stayed longer but I had to leave after you guys finished but next time we def. need to chill. Stay FRICKING METAL!!!!

Then we had Massacre Machine........WOW!!!!!!!!!! Now I have always liked the Machine because they are a group of the nicest guys you could ever want to meet. They are involved in the local scene in every way. You see them at other bands shows, you see them helping other bands by filling in for missing musicians and you see them doing extreme amounts of charity events. The songs that these guys did when I was first introduced to them were good songs that had great meanings but to me it always seemed to be missing something. Let me be the first to tell you that something was found and DAMN did it do it proud!! The way the old songs were done to the more massive metal blast and the totally impressive vocal stylings had me moving like a zombie to the front of the stage. Incredible is the word that best describes what I encountered last night and I will do everything in my power to be at every show now. To quote these boys...."my world was spinning" after you blew me away with your performance. KUDOS!!!

THANKS FOR CHILLIN' WITH US PARKING LOT LOOSERS...(LOL). IT WAS AWESOME FUN. I KNOW WE ALL HAD A BLAST AND MISSOURI LOVES MASSACRE MACHINE AS WELL AS ALL OF THE ICEHOUSE CREW . I'VE HEARD 'EM ALL CHATTING 'BOUT THE SHOW AND HOW U GUYS ROCKED THE PLACE AS WELL. HEY MIGHT SEE YA SOON ;-) TAKE CARE AND THANKS FOR HANGING OUT TILL 4 AM IN THE PARKING LOT AS WELL WITH US DRUNKS...(LMAO). MWAH LATER ....

Hells yeah! Man that show was so amazing. I can't wait to see you kids live again...you melted the cables? That's awesome! Well actually that's not so great but it's kinda cool...(LOL). Anywho I hope you kids had as much fun at that show as I did...Arghh !!! I'm a pirate !!!

Shred....My face is still peeling off.

Massacre Machine, our brothers in Tennessee, were as always the most killer people to work with, and to hang out with...wish these guys were closer so we could do more stuff together. If you get a chance, check these guys out, you won't find a more awesome bunch. Thanks to them for the show, and Happy Birthday to their members Chuck and Brice, we had a blast with all you guys !!!

Mind Boggling...I want to send a very sincere thank you! We had a blast, everyone made us feel at home, EVERY band rocked beyond belief!! I know I posted this in a bulletin, but I want to say personally, that I have to bow to you guys, cause you seriously rocked my ass!! You're amazing musicians! I can't wait to do it again!!!...Midnite

I got one word to describe ya'll....
COMPLETELYMUTHAFUCKINRIGHTIOUSBALLBUSTINAINTNOSISSYSHEREROCKINMUTHERFUCKERS.
Keep up the volume.

Nice set last night fellas...Dude, y'all fuckin' rocked last night. Kudos to your singer for playing skins too. That is very professional that y'all still rocked out without y'alls drummer. Great set and we definitely look forward to jammin with y'all this summer...keep shreddin' !!!

Hey Y'all,
I just listened to your music, and I must say "holy fuck", it's awesome.

1. Gate of the Dead - great shred.
2. Black Butcher - love it.
3. World Spinning - more great shred.

We MUST put your songs on the station. I couldn't discern any "f" words, but if you have them in your songs, they would fit right in on the "Fuck It Friday" set. Only "f" word songs qualify there. Can I add y'all to my Myspace? Keep in touch.

Thanks,
Sandy,
Starmadillo Radio

Hey Guys, thanks again for bringing the Memphis Metal Monster....Massacre Machine to Bono and jamming out the B-day Bash. Everyone loved it and enjoyed seeing ya'll. Hope we can continue to do some shows together. Talk to ya later, peace out. Jason B.

Man, you guys destroyed last night. It's always cool to see real local metal...and that's what you guys are....REAL METAL! Can't wait to come to Memphis and do a show with you guys....thanks for the invite.

Hey! Show last night rocked! Can't wait to see ya live again! -Nikki

Unreal show last night...kickass job ... see ya next time...later

Fuckin' bad ass!! I have heard of Massacre Machine from Myspace...isn't it great?!?!?! So I added you...rock the fuck on!! METAL!!!!!! 666 lml
~Metal Gurl~

Hey this is Wes from Edens Fall. I checked out your profile and I listened to your stuff. It's pretty thrashy , I liked it. I also saw that you had what looked like a fender neck on a king V, pretty interesting. Thanks for adding us by the way, and keep it fucking metal!!!

The video rocked my world... awesome awesome shit!!! I'm so going to to be at that Memphis show... mark my words!

I heard ya'll put on "a hell of a show"! Thanks for getting in touch with us-Ann

Thanx for keeping the metal alive. You fuckin' shred! We can't wait to do another show! Keep in touch. You guys kick ass !!! MAY THE BLUNTFORCE BE WITH YOU!!! Pick a date and we'll be there!!!

Definitely ass kickin' music. Thanks for puttin' it up for the ear-bleedin' enjoyment! J

MAN !!! You blew me off the stage with those solo's ! You guy's rocked out the other night and I hope we can get together and do it again sometime soon! That Franken V is wicked. Later!

Thanks for the compliments on our guitars. Your music sounds really good and heavy. Even a bit Slayerish. If you ever need a custom shop guitar to go with that sound, feel free to contact us for your next axe...

HOLY SHIT!! YOU GUYS FUCKING RULE!!!! and you're from MEMPHIS...THIS SHIT FUCKING HOLE IN THE EARTH!! FUCKING ROCK ON!! Any time you guys wanna party or whatever hit me up! FUCKING LOVE THE SOUND!! KEEP IT SIC!

Thanks guys, your band kicked ass...fucking brutal. These two guys that work with me loved your music. See you the 27th and the late slot would be great. Thanks, CARROLL

Thanxx for the adding request to me !!! I listened your sound here. It's very nice and I like it very much! I'm supporting you alwayz. I wanna to see your show someday...You must come to Shinjyuku. There are many clubs and there are many cool bands that looks like your band!

Take care and keep it metal bro!

Hell yeah, man. Sounds cool to me bro. Hey man, next time you've got a show around here send me a message and I'll get some people to come hear the band man. I'm always up for a metal show. And the last one I got to go to was Hatebreed at the new Daisy in November so I'm dyin to see the next show I can.

What's happenin' Big Daddy? I got your message and visited ur myspace page. "Tortured Strings" is fuckin bad ass.

I checked out your page, I like it!! Good stuff, keep it up. Got the whole Kerry King thing goin on, pretty cool. I like the band, I'll keep in touch.

Attention all other bands: MASSACRE MACHINE is a totally stand-up group. These guys arrived at the Freak Flag Fest at 2pm and stayed to support the last band until 1am. I wish more bands supported each other like these guys do. Oh, and I forgot to mention that their set is KILLER! Chuck shreds and shreds and shreds. Brice is a maniac frontman--the only guy out of seven bands to jump off the stage and roam all over the club with his mic. Mike IS the illegitimate son of Steve Harris, and Marvin was slammin' on the drums as well!

Hey Chuck, thanks again for letting us come play for you guys. We got to hear some kick ass metal and that's what it's all about.
Massacre Machine kicked ass and we're looking forward to playing more shows with you guys.
Keep It Heavy.
T2L

Just wanna give a big thanks for the show man...we had a killer time and loved playing with some guys who knew how to lay it down on their instruments. Any time you guys want to do a show we are up for it. METAL >:+

Hey, man-This is Jay from Fayetteville. I'm watching your DVD right now and digging the shit out of it! I'm thinking it reminds me a little of some Carcass...maybe their "Swansong" era stuff. Not that it sounds just like it or anything. It's just got that same bluesy/metal style. You play a pretty mean guitar too. That Elvis song is shredtastic. Hope to see ya'll live sometime soon. Stay in touch!

SHIT HOT!! This stuff (Black Butcher) is loud and proud! Rocking guitar, drums to die for and fantastic beefy bass line. Vocals are great and really give your ears something to think about...Great stuff...Thanks from The U.K.

Kick ass...Man...I think my fingers would bleed if I played like that. Awesome axe work! (Tortured Strings)

Stage Stop's 30th Anniversary Weekend: $12,050 raised for MDA!! & $1,260 raised for Hurricane Katrina Relief!! Thank you to everyone who helped reach this goal and those who made the quest their own. I would like to take a second or five to mention some names!!!

Steve and Nita Makris (Owners) who, for 30 years, have gone out of their way to help others on many levels. Thanks! The Stage Stop Staff, having more to do with these events than any other collective group ever employed at the Stage Stop. Kudos! The members and wives of "MASSACRE MACHINE" who single handedly arranged and carried out the Bikers & Builders / Rock & Roll event, not to mention all of their help during the celebration weekend.

I don't know about you guys but Massacre Machine was a breath of fresh air, with their traditional and bluesy stylings...I enjoyed them alot.....

They actually were pretty good.

Yeah I thought they were good as well...there were a couple things that could have made MM's show better...like maybe a little low-end to the guitar...but as far as the music...it really kicked ass...can't wait to see Massacre Machine again...

WOW LADIES AND GENTS!!!! Thats the only way I can describe it! MASSACRE MACHINE was kind enough to do the Reedmeisters gig with us and they kicked major ASS! They gained 5 new fans for life and more I’m sure.

massacre machine's guitarist is one badass motherfucker on the guitar. wish i could make it to this show. but my band is playing at blank gen on that night.

KICK ASS!!! You guys did a fucking awesome job with this one (Tortured Strings) let me tell you. Yeah I love the intro riff so much. I love this song, it gets me so pumped and ready to rock!!! YEAH!!! peace,
- the workcrew

FUCKING BAD ASS! Its (Tortured Strings) fucking awesome dude, ya'll should fucking be huge right now

Powerful driving guitars start this one (World Spinning) off that is somewhat reminisent of a young Judas Priest. Melodic vocals lead the way through a mezmorizing path off of powerful melodies. Talent is top notch in this finely tuned machine running on high octane. The production is some of the best I've heard yet. We'd share the stage with you guys anytime!

I actually checked out a couple of your tracks over the weekend. I can certainly hear where the 'shred' part comes in.
