Formed: 1993 in Cleveland, OH
Years Active: 00's
Genre: ROCK
Known
for its theatrical live show and the black masks that most of its members wear
on-stage, Mushroomhead is one of the more unique and adventurous alternative
metal outfits that emerged in the 1990s. And the Cleveland band's music is as
interesting as its image; Mushroomhead's forceful yet melodic alterna-metal
incorporates elements of hip-hop, punk, and goth rock as well as industrial and
techno. The members of Mushroomhead have been performing incognito since 1993,
when drummer Skinny founded the band. At first, Mushroomhead was only meant to
be a side project. Its members were playing in various local bands at the time,
and they wore the blacks masks (which look like a cross between S&M/bondage
masks and World War I gas masks) so that people wouldn't recognize them. The
only Mushroomhead member who doesn't wear a black mask opts for Kiss-like clown
makeup instead. After a few years, Mushroomhead became one of Cleveland's top
local attractions -- and its members kept wearing the masks when they saw how
intriguing people found them to be. Mushroomhead's self-titled debut album was
released independently in 1995, followed by Superbuick in 1996 and M3 in 1999.
The Midwesterners signed with Eclipse in 2000, and their next album, XX, came
out the following year. In 2001, Mushroomhead's members included drummer/founder
Skinny, lead vocalists J. Mann and Jeffrey Nothing, guitarists Bronson and
Gravy, keyboardist Shmotz, bassist Pig Benis, and sample provider Stitch when
they signed to Universal Records to re-release XX. Their first proper effort for
the label was 2003's dynamic XIII, but the band soon parted ways with not only
Universal, but also vocalist J. Mann during a subsequent tour. Undeterred,
Mushroomhead pressed on with their D.I.Y. ethos intact and welcomed new frontman
Waylon, formerly of 3 Quarters Dead, into the fray. The DVD Mushroomhead, Vol. 1
followed in mid-2005 before the guys returned in September 2006 with Savior
Sorrow, released through New York-based indie Megaforce Records. Alex Henderson,

SUNT DOESN'T RISE
Some kind of evidenceSome kind of reasonWhy I can't find a wayTo begin my life
Somewhere in this dying dayIf I can only find a way for my escapeI find it hard to concentrate with all my past mistakesTo begin my life
I can't feel my faith, can't recall my crimeI think I sealed my fate along the way, I may have lost my mindI guess we're all damaged in our own wayAlone in our own wayDistant headlights desolate highway
I can't feel my faith, can't recall my crimeI think I sealed my fate along the way, I may have lost my mindI guess we're all damaged in our own wayAlone in our own wayDistant headlights desolate highway
Sun doesn't rise at allWho knows how far I'll fallSun doesn't rise at allWho knows how far I'll fall
With eyes wide openI can't recall my crime I think I sealed my fateI can watch my world evolveAlone in our own way, I think I sealed my fateNothin' left to die forI can't recall my crime I think I sealed my fateThoughts inside can make me crawlThink I sealed my fateMake me drop down on my kneesBreak me down until I question meDarkness can't destroy my drive
Sun doesn't rise at allWho knows how far I'll fallSun doesn't rise at allWelcome my downfall
Somewhere in this dying day as I plan my great escapeI find it hard to concentrate while you maintain to control nowI fold and falter, empty alter, all I gave I pray it makes me wholeI think the brink's around the cornerThere's an error in my soul
I can't feel my faith, can't recall my crimeI think I sealed my fate along the way, I may have lost my mindI guess we're all damaged in our own wayAlone in our own wayDistant headlights desolate highway
Sun doesn't rise at allWho knows how far I'll fallSun doesn't rise at allWho knows how far I'll fall
I can't feel my faithCan't control my trustDamaged in our own wayAlone in our own wayDesolate highway

MUSHROOMHEAD
Mushroomhead is an American industrial metal[1][2] band from Cleveland, Ohio. Formed in 1993 in Cleveland Warehouse District, the band's music can be described as a synthesis of alternative music, heavy metal,[2] and electro-industrial.[2] Mushroomhead have sold over 880,000 units worldwide, and have made 7 studio albums and 15 music videos. During their inception, Mushroomhead has gone through many changes in band line-ups, with original members, lead singer Jeffrey Nothing, programmer Shmotz, and drummer Skinny, being the only consistent members.
In 1995, Mushroomhead released a self-financed debut album, Mushroomhead, with their own record label, Filthy Hands Co. (also named as Mushroom Co.). For the members, Mushroomhead became a priority with their original bands breaking-up. Although the line-up saw many changes throughout the 1990s, the band stayed active, steadily releasing music and gaining followers. In 1996, they released Superbuick.[5] In 1999, Mushroomhead released M3,[6] which was the final album self-financed and self-released by the band.
After an extensive world tour, singer J Mann announced he was leaving the band in August 2004, citing exhaustion and to take care of his sick father. He was replaced by Three Quarters Dead singer, Waylon. In August 2005, Mushroomhead self-released its first DVD on its own Filthy Hands label – "Volume 1". Produced, directed, shot, and edited by the band, Volume 1 covers the band's rise in the 2000s with live performances, music videos, and behind the scenes footage.
While on the road in 2005, Mushroomhead began the process of writing new material and recording a new album. In December 2005, Mushroomhead signed with Megaforce Records, ensuring the new albums availability nationally and internationally. On June 6, 2006, Mushroomhead launched Mushroom Kombat - an interactive flash feature as a part of the band's official website. The mini-game pits band members against each other in a Mortal Kombat-style environment, with each member having a unique fatality.
Mushroomhead headlined with Dope, Nocturne, and New Orleans locals Invain on The Music For Freedom Tour sponsored by Jägermeister at the House of Blues in New Orleans, Louisiana on Tuesday, August 16, 2005. This show was one of the last big acts to play in New Orleans for a long time due to Hurricane Katrina striking New Orleans on August 29, 2005.
The band has performed 3 shows on the Mayhem Festival tour, filling in for Bullet for My Valentine.
Live footage was compiled into the band's second DVD, titled "Volume 2". On December 29, 2007, Mushroomhead won Video of the Year 2007 on the MTV2 Headbanger's Ball for "12 Hundred" from the Savior Sorrow record. On September 17, 2008, it was announced that the band will release the "Volume 2" DVD on October 28 through Filthy Hands/Megaforce Records. The disc features two and a half hours of content, including live footage from the three-year Savior Sorrow tour, music videos including "12 Hundred", "Simple Survival", "Burn", the short video for "Tattoo", "Save Us" and "Embrace The Ending", video commentary and behind the scenes footage.
To support the DVD, Mushroomhead hit the road with The Autumn Offering, XFactor1, and Human Factors Lab from October 3 in Findlay, Ohio, until November 2 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After the tour, Mushroomhead returned to the studio to record their next album.
They released Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children in September 2010. Within the first week of its release, it became the No. 1 best selling metal album on iTunes. A new song, "Your Soul Is Mine," appeared on the Saw VI Soundtrack. On October 1, 2010, a music video for "Come On" debuted on Headbangers Ball on MTV.[9] The video has since been barred from airing on MTV and other television outlets after being deemed too graphic by network censors.[10] On October 28, 2010, the band's founding guitarist, JJ Righteous, passed away of unknown reasons at the age of 41.[11]
In October 2010, following the death of ex band-mate JJ Righteous, J Mann appeared on stage with the band during their Halloween show, performing vocals for two songs alongside both Jeffrey Nothing and Waylon. Both he and Waylon made a point of announcing that there were no hard feelings between the two of them, and that they are in fact on good terms with each other.
On Oct 5, 2010 The Professional Wrestling Promotion known as TNA (Total Nonstop Action Wrestling) (Now called "Impact Wrestling") used their hit single "Come On" as the theme song to promote a match between Ric Flair and Mick foley, a confrontation that was 20 years in the making. The promotional video can be seen on the TNA Wrestling official YouTube Channel. It is said that a longtime fan of the band put that together for them.
In February 2012, it was announced that guitarist Gravy and bassist Pig Benis would be replaced by Tommy Church and Ryan Farrell respectively.
In April 2012, Dave "Gravy" Felton stated publicly on his Facebook fan page that he was "kicked out of the band."
In May 2012, Daniel "Lil Dan" Fox left Mushroomhead to work for another band. It is rumored that he is working as a drum technician for Marilyn Manson. On May 22, Dave Felton posted on his fan page an interview about his latest band. In the interview, he was asked about the Mushroomhead split. He said that he was kicked out via email and that it was the third time he had been told to leave. He said that he thought one of the reason was because he didn't have a party mentality (drinking and smoking) and that he thought it sometimes got in the way of band progress. The interview was on Uncensored Net Noise on the Msc Radio Network LLC.
Drum tech "Major Trauma" (also known from (hed) pe) had taken over Lil Dan's custom percussion parts in the Hed 2 Head Tour 3.
After the Hed 2 Head Tour ended, drum tech Elliot Mapes took over Dan's drum parts for live shows. People have jokingly called him "Tall E" in reference to Dan's nickname being "Lil Dan"
On Thursday, August 16, 2012, Mushroomhead stated on their official Facebook fan page that original member Bronson would be returning on guitar for their 2012 "Old School Show".
In 2012, Slipknot singer Corey Taylor has stated that he is interested in a tour with Slipknot, Mushroomhead, GWAR, and Mudvayne.[14][15] There is a user group that is trying to make a tour happen with Mushroomhead and Slipknot on Facebook (Filthy Maggots Group Page). Since the group started there has been more than 30,000 people "join" the group in support of the event. It is an open discussion group in order to promote and persuade Slipknot's management in to a tour to happen and the feud to officially end with a friendship.[16]

[edit] History
[edit] Mushroomhead, Superbuick and M3 (1993-2000)
In 1993, Mushroomhead was established as a side project. To differentiate itself from the members' existing bands and to dispel any misconceptions about the group's sound and musical content, Mushroomhead used costumes, masks, and pseudonyms. Mushroomhead played its first show in 1993. Days later, the octet found itself on stage alongside established metal band GWAR. "We played our first show on a Saturday" said the band's drummer, Skinny, in an article for Mushroomhead’s official website.[citation needed] “Three days later, we got a call to play with GWAR at the Cleveland Agora in front of 2,000 people – our second show ever!”.[4]In 1995, Mushroomhead released a self-financed debut album, Mushroomhead, with their own record label, Filthy Hands Co. (also named as Mushroom Co.). For the members, Mushroomhead became a priority with their original bands breaking-up. Although the line-up saw many changes throughout the 1990s, the band stayed active, steadily releasing music and gaining followers. In 1996, they released Superbuick.[5] In 1999, Mushroomhead released M3,[6] which was the final album self-financed and self-released by the band.
[edit] XX and XIII (2000-2005)
In 2001, Mushroomhead released a compilation album titled “XX” on the independent label Eclipse Records. Later in the year, after quickly selling almost 40,000 copies in just 2–3 months,[7] the band signed with major label Universal Records and the compilation was remastered and re-released internationally. The release of the album led Mushroomhead to major national and international tours including Ozzfest 2002; as well as television exposure via their first music video "Solitaire/Unraveling". Also in 2001, guitarist J.J. Righteous was replaced by one of the band's stage dancers, Marko Vukcevich. 2003 saw the release of XIII, their first album with new material for Universal Records. The album produced the single "Sun Doesn't Rise" which was featured on MTV: Headbangers Ball and the Freddy vs Jason soundtrack. Also featuring the hidden track "Crazy", a song originally by Seal. The album debuted at no. 40 on the Billboard Top 200 charts and sold 400,000 copies worldwide.[8]After an extensive world tour, singer J Mann announced he was leaving the band in August 2004, citing exhaustion and to take care of his sick father. He was replaced by Three Quarters Dead singer, Waylon. In August 2005, Mushroomhead self-released its first DVD on its own Filthy Hands label – "Volume 1".

Savior Sorrow was released on September 19, 2006, and debuted at No. 45 on the Billboard 200 charts with sales exceeding 12,000.[8] The band's label stated that sales were closer to 25,000 with the inclusion of sales made while on tour.[8] As a result, SoundScan issued an apology the day following the release of sales data due to mistakes made in estimates.[8] The primary reason given was the lack of inclusion of sales from the Best Buy retailer chain. Sales of Savior Sorrow were roughly 26,000 and the chart entry place was closer to the No. 30 spot than No. 73. Savior Sorrow's chart position was later officially adjusted to No. 50. "Simple Survival", the pre-released single to Savior Sorrow, was placed at No. 39 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart one week after the release.[8] Also in 2006, Daniel Fox (Lil' Dan) joined the band as a touring drummer.The band has performed 3 shows on the Mayhem Festival tour, filling in for Bullet for My Valentine.

[edit] Next studio album (2012-present)
In September, 2012, Mushroomhead announced that they're currently in the studio working on new music via their Facebook fan page. It has been said by Mushroomhead Frontman Jeffrey Nothing that former Slipknot and current Painface vocalist Anders Colsefni is in the works to do a recording together in their upcoming studio sessions. It has been said that the same fan that set up the TNA Wrestling (Ric Flair/Mick Foley) promo on Spike TV made this happen.[edit] Image and style
The members of Mushroomhead have identified themselves by wearing masks and by its distinct “X Face” logo – commonly worn on the masks of most members, as well as clothing and merchandise. The band originally adopted masks and stage names to not conflict with their original bands. The band's look has evolved over the years, featuring alterations to bring them up to date and freshen up the image for new albums and tours. It is confirmed that in January 2013, Mushroomhead Video Director, Maskmaker and Make-up artist Dave Henson Greathouse will be competing in Season 4 of original SyFy series "Face Off", a special effects prosthetic makeup reality show competition. [12][edit] Feud with Slipknot
Since 1999, Mushroomhead has had an on-and-off rivalry with Iowa-based band Slipknot. The feud erupted (mostly among fans) due to the image similarities between the bands; such as the masks and costumes worn on stage. Before signing Slipknot, Roadrunner Records were interested in signing Mushroomhead, but Mushroomhead passed on the deal. The rivalry is now officially over as confirmed in several interviews with Waylon, ST1TCH and Skinny. Recently Mushroomhead posted on their official Myspace page their thoughts about Paul Gray's death, they stated: "R.I.P. Paul Gray, This feud needs to end. Much Love and Respect to the guys in Slipknot".[13]In 2012, Slipknot singer Corey Taylor has stated that he is interested in a tour with Slipknot, Mushroomhead, GWAR, and Mudvayne.[14][15] There is a user group that is trying to make a tour happen with Mushroomhead and Slipknot on Facebook (Filthy Maggots Group Page).
