Bay Area metal veterans MACHINE HEAD recently got to spend some time with Albuquerque, NM’s heavy metal-loving mayor, Tim Keller.
The latter has celebrated many a heavy music artist rolling through the aforementioned city over the years, including JUDAS PRIEST, IRON MAIDEN‘s Bruce Dickinson, PARKWAY DRIVE, TRIVIUM and more.
While a number of those musicians have received the keys to the city, MACHINE HEAD instead claim to have received the ceremonial keys to the Albuquerque City Jail.
Robb Flynn and co. were in town for a stop on their ongoing North American tour with Killswitch Engage, Iron Reagan and Havok, which will conclude this weekend. Further legs of that trek will kickoff in August.
