American Head Charge, known for their multi-layered metal masterpieces "The War of Art" and "The Feeding", released the 70 minute film "Can't Stop The Machine" this year to overwhelming response from fans. If you're not familiar with the band's chaotic reputation and mind-blowing live performances, you can now see clips of the film on Youtube! Nitrus Records and the AHC Death Squad (fan group) have just posted the first quarter of the film on the Youtube site, with more to come across the next three weeks.

Cutting edge electronic and metal label Nitrus Records have authorized the release of the clips. The film is enthralling, taking a Behind The Music approach to the legendary band, artfully edited with ten full length performances.

Can't Stop The Machine also includes all of the band's music videos. "All Wrapped Up" in particular is long-sought-after. MTV banned the video for being "too graphic". The video features Michael Rooker, star of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, the all-time favorite movie of Head Charge frontman Martin Cock.

The DVD also includes a full length CD of rarities, unreleased material, live tracks, and re-mastered songs from the band's impossible-to-find first album "Trepanation".

"Can't Stop The Machine" is in stores now in the USA and UK, and available worldwide by mail order on the band's MySpace page.
