Disappointing news out of the Machine Head camp this week as the band has announced that they will be postponing their entire Fall North American tour with Battlecross and Epica so that they may finish up production on their upcoming record.

Machine Head is set to release their 8th album, Bloodstone & Diamonds (their first for Nuclear Blast Entertainment), on Nov 7th in Europe and Nov 10th in the U.S. and UK, but apparently their is still some work to be done in order to meet those dates.

What’s that you say? You like your metal with a little bit of Middle Earth thrown in!? Well, fear not Frodo, we’ve got you covered. How about some Swiss hippies playing folk metal with harps, fiddles, flutes, lutes and… bagpipes(!)?

If that sounds like your cup-o-tea, then you’re going to love Eluveitie. Watch the video of their new single “Call of the Mountains” here below.
