Cleveland, Ohio-based masked metal band Mushroomhead will release its ninth studio album, “Call the Devil,” on Aug. 9, 2024, via Napalm Records. Pre-order it here.
Returning after a 12-year hiatus, guitarist Dave “Gravy” Felton—who performed on several of the band’s biggest albums and is credited as a primary songwriter on anthems such as “Along the Way,” “Sun Doesn’t Rise” and “The Dream Is Over”—contributes his 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 More, 3 Doors Down) on mixing, also recognized for his work on Mushroomhead’s album “XIII.” The album is the band’s first to feature mastering from Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Epica, Arch Enemy).
Mushroomhead also has revealed the album’s first single, “Fall in Line,” with a music video offering a first-person look at the band’s new masks, featuring design elements and sculpting by Jordan Patton and guitarist Joe Gall.
“One of my favorite things about the ‘Fall in Line’ video is the use of the color red,” Steve “Skinny” Felton said. “It’s a powerful and emotional color palette. ‘Fall in Line’ was actually the last song we recorded for the LP. It came together really fast. Upbeat, aggressive and fun.”
