Mushroomhead Slams Evanescence In Radio Challenge
Mushroomhead will release its new album Savior Sorrow on September 19, 2006. The band recently debuted its first single "Simple Survival" on several stations across the USA. At KRQR, it was a "David and Goliath" story of arguably the biggest commercial rock band in the USA going up against an arsty metal band. Mushroomhead's "Simple Survival" went up against Evanescence's "Call Me When You're Sober" on KRQR's "Cockfight" on August 24, which left Mushroomhead the clear winner and champ.
"It feels really good this time around. Radio seems to really dig it. And it's a new chapter in our evolution. There are sounds on this album that sound so melodic, yet brutal and huge. The album is quite diverse, yet retains a Mushroomhead dynamic," says drummer Skinny.
Savior Sorrow was produced by Steve Felton and Mushroomhead at Cleveland's Filthy Hands Studios in April 2006. Mushroomhead's prior release, XIII, entered the Billboard Top 200 at #40 and went on to sell 400,000 copies worldwide.
The visionary masked band combines theatrics with a mixture of rock, metal and atmospheric elements. The band will begin a world tour starting September 20, 2006 in its hometown of Cleveland.
