MUSHROOMHEAD Effortlessly Survives 'Cockfight' With EVANESCENCE At Radio

August 25, 2006

MUSHROOMHEAD will release its new album, "Savior Sorrow", on September 19, 2006. The band recently debuted its new 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," says drummer Steve "Skinny" Felton. "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.'

"Savior Sorrow" was produced by Felton and MUSHROOMHEAD at Cleveland's Filthy Hands Studios in April 2006. MUSHROOMHEAD's prior release, "XIII", entered The Billboard 200 at position No. 40 and went on to sell 400,000 copies worldwide. The band will begin a world tour starting September 20, 2006 in its hometown of Cleveland.
