Mushroomhead working on new album

Cleveland, Ohio pioneering masked rockers Mushroomhead has sequestered themselves in their private studio at the Filthy Hands Recording Studio to begin work on their 7th album studio release which is due out summer/fall 2009 via Megaforce/Sony Music. Produced by co-founding member and drummer Steve "Skinny" Felton, the yet-to-be-titled new album is promised to be the bands most violent and epic sounding to date! The band will playing select dates during the next couple of months including a few stops at this years Mayhem Festival. They will tour nationally throughout the fall of 2009.

Fangoria Magazine and Mushroomhead have also en tered into a strategic partnership which will see the band performing at their upcoming Weekend of Horrors conventions. Fangoria Entertainment's Scott Licina states "MUSHROOMHEAD is one of those unique acts that defy musical labels, regardless of image or demographic categorization. The theatricality of their stage presentation is full out horror show, yet the songs themselves are amazingly diverse and complex, a far cry from the sonic banality of many of their contemporaries. These are true musicians, who not only know how to rock it hard, but also understand the importance of substance and melody, and subtlety and timing. Their music is as rich as their showmanship, and that's extremely rare in the world of alt metal. It's the combination of all these high levels of excellence that makes MRH a great audio counterpart for FANGORIA ENTERTAINMENT. We pride ourselves on demanding the highest of standards for all our endeavors, and including the band into our 30th anniversary WEEKEND OF HORRORS events was an easy and natural decision. We insist on the best for our readers and attendees, and having MRH do a special performance at the Shock-N-Roll Spooktacular fits that exacting criteria perfectly."
