Mushroomhead Beat Evanescense In Radio Battle

MUSHROOMHEAD will release its new album Savior Sorrow on September 19th, 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 24th, 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.

They are too hit and miss, dont get me wrong I still play Cadillac and XIII at times, but frankly, theyd have to take all of their albums and pull a few tracks from each to make 1 solid album at any point in their career.

I'll admit, these guys are actually probably my favourite band from the nu-metal genre. They're fresher than most of the stuff out there, and - I dunno, I just like 'em. Beats me why. Xeroxed was a sweet f***ing song.

Well theres a logical reason behind this, one mushroomhead is growing in popularity and since the actual lyricist left Evanessence they blow some major ass....

i kinda like J Mann a little better because he sang harder more often, it was kinda rap-metalish, but i still liked it more, new cd sounds good though, i still liked XIII alot more, i thought that cd was really good just didnt have much popularity

The new vocalist certainly can breath a little life in this outfit...I'm curious to hear more before I crack down on them for sounding too much like their other sh**...

Thats what singles are, more of the same...hell even Tool do that...

So I'm going to listen to more of it....maybe they'll stream the whole thing prior to release.
