As previously reported, MUSHROOMHEAD's video for "Simple Survival", the debut single from the band's recently released "Savior Sorrow" album, is available for viewing at iKlipz.com. The clip was shot by award-winning filmmaker and music video director Chad Calek (BLEEDING THROUGH, INDEX CASE).

Released on Sept. 19, "Savior Sorrow" sold 17,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release (28,000 in the first three weeks) to debut at position No. 50 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD was produced in April 2006 by drummer Steve "Skinny" Felton and MUSHROOMHEAD at Cleveland's Filthy Hands Studios and is "a new chapter in MUSHROOMHEAD's evolution," according to Felton. "There are sounds on this album that sound so brutal and huge. We focused on delivering some vicious hardcore mixed with heavy melodic hooks. Lyrically, it definitely reflects where the world is at this moment in time." An e-card for the album can be accessed at this location.

MUSHROOMHEAD's follow-up to 2003's "XIII" (Republic/Universal) marks the group's recording debut with singer Waylon, who replaced frontman J. Mann in 2004.

"Waylon brings a new dimension to the band [he's] not only a great frontman, but he can also scream and sing like a chameleon, changing vocal quality to adapt to the true nature of each song," Felton said. "His versatility is remarkable."
