MACHINE HEAD guitarist Phil Demmel and drummer Dave McClain have quit the band, making their upcoming tour their last, according to a Facebook video posted by frontman Robb Flynn.

In the video, he explained that Demmel quit on Wednesday and McClain quit the next day; Flynn added that bassist Jared MacEachern “kinda quit, but didn’t know if he was quitting for sure.” Their scheduled tour will go on as a celebration of their music, Flynn said. He also noted that he “held on too tight to the reigns of this band.”

 
The groove/thrash/nü metal band’s tour was scheduled to support Catharsis, their ninth full-length that was released earlier this year on Nuclear Blast. The extensive tour will hit most of the United States and Canada.
