Earlier this week, it was announced that Machine Head would celebrate the 25th anniversary of their debut album Burn My Eyes by heading out on tour later this year.

Joining guitarist and vocalist Robb Flynn and bassist Jared MacEachern will be guitarist Logan Mader and drummer Chris Kontos, who both played on the 1994 record.

Machine Head have now released a 50-minute studio video which sees the lineup listen to the album and discuss topics including the beginnings of Machine Head, the moment Flynn came up with the band name, how they formulated ideas for Burn My Eyes, the rehearsal sessions and more.

Check it out below.

Speaking about the reunion, Flynn said: "Both Logan and Chris are in phenomenal playing shape, the vibe between all four of us has been incredibly positive, and having run through deep cuts like Death Church and I’m Your God Now for the first time in over a decade, has reminded me of how fucking heavy our older songs are.

"This tour is going to be massive! Do not sleep on this, tell your friends, spread the word, because tickets are going to disappear!”

Tickets for the tour will go on general sale from 10am tomorrow (March 29).
