Mushroomhead crawled out of Cleveland's Warehouse District in 1993 looking like a horror movie's idea of a rock band, masks and costumes and all, and sounding like nothing else in Ohio. Industrial metal is the easy label, but their avant-garde clang throws in samples, turntables, pounding extra percussion and creepy keyboards, and the multiple singers trade off like characters in a nightmare.
The lineup has spun through more changes than anyone can keep track of, and the one constant is Steve "Skinny" Felton, who plays drums, keyboards and water drums, works as a DJ and designs the band's look. Jeffrey Nothing, Jason "J Mann" Popson and Waylon Reavis have all taken turns at the mic, with Dave "Gravy" Felton among the guitarists and Richard Thomas adding percussion, samples and turntables from 2001.
The 2003 album XIII carried "Crazy", a lurching, twitchy nightmare of a song, and "Solitaire Unraveling" showed how much melody lurks under the grime. Their live shows, usually in smaller venues, are where the whole masked spectacle makes the most sense.
