02.13.2006� AHC and Emery part ways
Drummer Christopher Emery was recently fired from American Head Charge onstage this past February 11th, with reasons being cited as "major irresponsibility", "decreased drumming ability" and "an inflated sense of entitlement".
Bassist/co-founder Mr. H. C. Banks III and singer/co-founder Martin Cock had this to say:
"It turns out Chris was thinking of leaving anyway, although we only just found out by his posting on our website. Before the show, I pulled our guitar tech into the hallway and said 'Mark my words. If he quits, he'll blame it on the bands drug use and his inability to deal with his own drug use.' Everyone knows our addiction history. Hell, it's part of our bio. And it's common knowledge we're no angels. But Chris was one of those guys that felt like he had to go to rehab every 9 months. We're no worse than when we met him. Drugs aren't the problem. The problem is that his brain and heart were no longer in it, his responsibility level became non-exsistant, and his playing became so drastically inconsistent that I had to fire him onstage at our last show of "The Feeding" touring cycle. I had made a sign in advance that said "I'M FIRED" and held it up to him halfway through the set when I got sick of how godawful his playing and professionalism were that night. It was embarassing and our fans didn't deserve it. He was a major factor in our pulling the last seven songs out of our set. It made me furious, and I'm glad we won't have to deal with it anymore"

American Head Charge are survivors. Despite lineup changes, the tragic death of guitarist Bryan Ottoson and leaving labels that either abandon them when heavy rock falls out of favor or rape them of deserved money, the band is still creating music and decimating crowds across the globe. Their first DVD aptly-titled Can�t Stop the Machine chronicles their rollercoaster career. Guitarist Benji Hellberg sums up the DVD best. �I want fans to be able to feel like they�re getting to see inside the band members� souls. The story is completely out of control and unbelievable, and the music is just as out of control and unbelievable.� With numerous extras, music videos and unreleased tracks, fans are granted all access to the enigmatic band like never before. The DVD's centerpiece is the 75-minute documentary with tour and studio footage from the last five years, as well as jarring and honest interviews with members both past and present. Holding nothing back, the film captures the darkness and genius inherent within American Head Charge.

The documentary reveals the Minneapolis band�s whole history. Footage begins when the band burst onto the national scene in 2001 with their Rick Rubin produced American Recordings/Universal Records debut The War of Art. The release immediately separated them from the metal pack. Violent, strange, cathartic, dangerous and utterly groundbreaking, they blended the industrial grind of Ministry and Marilyn Manson with the tripped-out melodic experimentation of Faith No More. OZZfest 2001 introduced AHC to America, and worldwide tours (including Japan) with Slipknot, Slayer, and System of a Down followed, with the film encapsulating the madness onstage and off. During that time, The War of Art went on to sell in excess of 250,000 units, and it propelled the band to international acclaim with the singles �All Wrapped Up� and �Just So You Know.�

Tape keeps rolling as the band creates their sophomore record entitled The Feeding in 2005. More riff-oriented than its predecessor, this batch of tunes engaged a full-force guitar assault driven by late axe-slinger Ottoson. Despite selling more than 100,000 copies of their second offering, tragedy befell the band when Ottoson�s heart stopped while on tour with Mudvayne. The guitarist unknowingly had walking pneumonia in addition to severe strep throat and a (unbeknownst to the band) congenital heart murmur, and after 3 drinks (his first in 2 weeks due to having been on antibiotics) and prescribed pain killers, he passed away in his sleep. Bryan was and is far from forgotten. In one of the documentary�s most intense and moving moments, the band plays the UK's 2005 Download festival, and the entire crowd of 15,000+ begins chanting Bryan�s name. It�s unsettling yet beautiful as the band claps along to the deafening screams. However, with Cameron Heacock�s entrancing and brutal vocals, General Banks' agile yet Godzilla-like bass, Justin Fowler�s haunting keyboards and Dane Tuders�s pummeling percussion, the band are reborn in 2007 with Can�t Stop the Machine. �The DVD is a good segue to the next record, because the band has been through so much. 99 percent of the bands out there would�ve broken up. For the band to even still be kicking is amazing to me,� says Hellberg.

Ultimately, the DVD captures the essence of American Head Charge. Hellberg continues, �When you listen to American Head Charge, you get the real story, you get a real feeling for what�s going on inside of the minds, the heads and the lives of every member. It�s taken from extreme beauty to extreme chaos, and that�s exactly how life is for us.�
