More Dope tour news!
The highly anticipated Machine Killer tour begins tomorrow! On the eve of what promises to be a tour not to miss, we got news. Big news. The Machine Killer Tour is running through the end of February of next year! That’s right – if you haven’t gotten the chance to see Dope opening for the almighty Static-X and Sevendust, you’ve got another shot to get in on the action! We love to see it. You can find info about the extended dates right here on Dope’s official site.
If this wasn’t your sign to get tickets now, I don’t know what more to tell you. I know I’ve got mine!
Along with this incredible announcement, we were treated to a new tour poster that showcases the additional dates. You can see it below – click the poster for full size!
Dope’s official Facebook also posted a short publicizing the extended dates – click here to view it.
Flashback Sunday: Dope on Tour!
For your Flashback Sunday, we’re still celebrating the upcoming Machine Killer tour! Today’s blast from the past is not -too- distant, as we look back to the Rise of the Machine tour. We got some killer performances on this tour, along with some amazing photos. Here’s one of my favourites from Dope’s official Facebook:
I have to say, the photographers covering Dope lately have been on point. Insane amount of talent on display. It is always such a delight when we’re treated to new photos of the band, especially ones that are of this high quality.
If you aren’t following Dope on Facebook, why not do so today? And for those who haven’t gotten their tickets for the Machine Killer tour yet, click here to find out more! Judging by how wildly successful the Rise of the Machine tour was, this one’s going to sell out fast. I know I’ve got my tickets – I’ll be at the Atlanta show! If you can’t make it, don’t worry – I’m taking you with me! I’m coming back with photos and videos, so stay tuned.
Spotlight Song: I Am
VIEW SCREENCAPS // VIDEO CREDIT // LYRICS
Our first Spotlight is a song I’m rather attached to: I Am, from Dope’s 2003 release Group Therapy. For those not familiar with this song, I Am is the fuck you anthem you didn’t know you needed until now. You might recognize a blast from the past in this video: Mistress Juliya, aka Juliya Chernetsky makes an appearance. Quite the hot ticket in the early 00s, Juliya was basically everywhere on the metal scene back then. Couldn’t escape that girl.
Please enjoy the video, and as always if you like what you see why not subscribe to Dope’s official Youtube channel? You’ll have access to just about their entire catalogue there. They’re sitting at about 116K subs and even though that makes them eligible for a silver Creator Award, we all know we can do better than that. So get to it.

Flashback Sunday: Metal Hammer Golden Gods 2014
In this first ever Flashback Sunday, we’re going all the way back to 2014 and this very cheeky Golden Gods black carpet interview with Edsel and Nikk. There’s 61 caps from this interview in EDF Photo, so check ’em out when you get a chance.
A tiny update
Hello hello! I’ve been a bit busy so I’ve not been posting updates as much as I could be. But now my schedule has cleared up a lot, so expect a LOT more of me. My biggest news is I’m attending the Machine Killer Tour in Atlanta, so to say I’m hyped is a bit of an understatement. I’ve been a massive fan of both Static-X and Dope for years, so to see them live and on the same bill is a dream.
Back to Edsel, came across this blast from the past completely by accident. I was browsing Youtube and saw this panel discussion from 2010 featuring the man himself. It’s called “Turning Sport Music into a New Revenue Stream”. It’s an interesting piece for sure. I admit, I’ve personally not thought too much about the music featured at sports events so it was enlightening to hear about that side of things. Give it a watch!
