The wait is almost over – American masked metal masters MUSHROOMHEAD will release their ninth studio album, Call The Devil, this Friday, 9th August 2024 via Napalm Records. In celebration of this week’s album release and their European tour kickoff, the band has revealed their ultra-dark third single, entitled ‘We Don’t Care’. The track proves to be a future live favourite with its chanting chorus and earworm hook.

30 years into their groundbreaking history, MUSHROOMHEAD shows no sign of slowing down, proving innovative without losing sight of their trademark sound and imagery.

Pre-order Call The Devil HERE

Returning after a 12 year hiatus, longtime guitarist Dave “Gravy” Felton – who performed on several of the band’s biggest albums and is credited as a primary songwriter on classic anthems like ‘Along The Way’, ‘Sun Doesn’t Rise’ and ‘The Dream Is Over’ – contributes his trademark skills to two Call The Devil album tracks. The album once again features production by band mastermind/drummer Steve “Skinny” Felton, as well as the return of Matt Wallace (Faith No More3 Doors Down) on mixing, also recognised for his work on MUSHROOMHEAD’s iconic album XIII. The album is also the band’s first to feature mastering from Jacob Hansen (VolbeatEpicaArch Enemy). 
 
Bursting with ominous intensity, album opener ‘Eye To Eye’ launches with warning sirens and a grooving riff provided by Gravy, proving the band wastes zero time with filler on Call The Devil. Eclectic tracks like the emotive, surprisingly jazzy anthem ‘Emptiness’, dramatic carnival creeper ‘UIOP (A Final Reprieve)’ and haunting ‘Hallelucination’ showcase the more experimental side of MUSHROOMHEAD, while heavy burners such as the gripping ‘Prepackaged’, charging and melodic ‘Hideous’ and aggressive drum-forward ‘Torn In Two’ cement the band’s lauded metal renown. Featuring guitar work and writing from Gravy, the winding, dark ‘We Don’t Care’ proves to be a future live favourite with its chanting chorus and earworm hook as vocalists Steve Rauckhorst and Jackie LaPonza split leadership duties. Call The Devil brings the cinematic, signature style of musical mastermind and bassist/keyboardist Ryan “Dr. F” Farrell to the forefront, exploring piano-driven balladic auras and compelling with eerily Vaudevillian three-part vocal achievements on songs like ‘Decomposition’, ‘Grand Gesture’ and ‘Shame In A Basket’, eventually veering into welcomed bizarre territory with album closer ‘Doom Goose’.
 
MUSHROOMHEAD recently announced a slew of tour dates, catch them in the UK next week:
