Over 25 years in their careers, Mushroomhead of Cleveland has done a wonderful task to remain one of the most reliable steel bands. Led by drummer Steve “Skinny” Felton, the giant of the eight-member band has reinvented itself over and over again, maintaining the basic principles and pictorial ethics that has made them rock legends. Back after a 6-year absence, Mushroomhead’s new album, A Wonderful Life (now available through Napalm Records) offers enthusiasts an incredible sound stroke, with heavy guitars, electronic nuances and hymn melodies that will actually please their toughest enthusiasts. .
We thought it would be fun to tell Skinny about the album and what makes the band vibrate after 25 years. Give it a reading under the apocalyptic video for “The Heresy.”
Dread Central: More than 25 years after the start of their career, the band swings harder than the maximum of new bands. What was the key to remaining as sustainable as you are?
Skinny: I have a lot to do with the determination of the trade itself. Personally, I am addicted to creating art in many forms. From music to portray to making and editing videos. I tried to stay awake and take advantage of the technology.
DC: A Wonderful Life is huge in its sound and the new members contribute a lot to the band’s dynamics. Was there an express project to record this album?
S: The main purpose and focus on this album is to make room for music to make the sounds big and huge. Leaving plenty of room to sing. I looked for the final result to give the impression that the singer is sitting on your lap or next to you.
DC: Did the new members and what they brought to the organization give the organization a new breath of air and a new approach?
S: Absolutely 100%. There were so many things we were going to revel in this time. Things like harmonies and stacking octave of various voices. Things we just couldn’t do with the limited features we had in the past.
DC: Never sticking to a compostrical sound has been such an important component of Mushroomhead, one of the many things that have been highlighted in the band. With a wonderful life, this sounds true; registration is everywhere, in the most productive way. Getting to your first album takes a while, was it vital to show that there is still a varied component of the band, at a time when many bands tend to play safely?
S: I think it has been vital for this organization to show its diversity. Staying outdoors in our convenience zone is a component of the Mushroomhead formula. I have it compared to very bad dreams or nightmares when it comes to creating. Always familiar but uncomfortable and stimulating.
DC: The album’s music videos are as impressive as hell. What videos so rich in themes?
S: Personally for me, inspiration is everywhere. Many of our looks and videos are due to our love of dark and scary things. A little horror movie, a bit of sci-fi and a video game trail. Mix pop culture with our terrible style.
DC: Once again, you’ve been doing this for quite some time and the new album shows that you’re not only still there, but you’re more powerful than ever. At this point, where do you see Mushroomhead and the future?
S: Personally, I plan to do it as long as I live. And if things go according to plan, Mushroomhead will continue long after I leave!
