MACHINE HEAD Unveils New Music Video for ‘Locust’ at Pitchfork.com

Oakland, CA’s MACHINE HEAD are pleased to unveil their brand new music video for the single ‘Locust’ today exclusively with Pitchfork.com. The track ‘Locust’ is cut from the band’s latest Billboard-charting album, Unto The Locust. The video is directed by veteran MACHINE HEAD video director Mike Sloat and features motion picture-quality computer-generated imagery that includes a sinister swarm of locusts enveloping the band in a cloud of darkness and chaos, much like the ominous track itself. The incredible effects were all created by a team of veteran Hollywood CGI artists and monster makers including album art designer Paul Gerrard who all helped bring Paul’s amazing album artwork to life.

MACHINE HEAD bludgeoned into the charts this month with a remarkable #22 Billboard Top 200 chart debut for their new album, Unto The Locust, with over 17,000 albums scanned in the first week. To date, MACHINE HEAD has sold a staggering 2.4 million albums worldwide.
