MUSHROOMHEAD‘s ninth album, “Name The Satan”, got here out final August through Napalm Information.

Requested whether it is tough discovering members who’re the correct match musically in addition to on an inventive degree, he responded: “I believe while you’re with the correct artistic folks and there is a very comparable mindset, and being very collaborative and open to critiquing and simply listening to different folks’s concepts by means of, there is a little bit of a balancing act, for positive; it is not at all times simple. However there’s additionally an pleasure. New blood brings new character to the desk in lots of respects, and generally you do not know what you are going to get. So I believe that may be a little intriguing to me personally, particularly within the artist realm. It is nearly like stepping out of your consolation zone into the unknown. And you find yourself with one thing that you just by no means thought you’d or by no means actually imagined earlier than. So, it is a yin-yang kind of factor, man… It is tough, and in case you have the endurance and you’ve got the like mindset with the folks you are collaborating with, man, you may provide you with some issues that you just by no means dreamed of.”

He mentioned: “Effectively, I positively suppose it positively retains it shocking as a result of we do not even know what’s gonna occur generally. There may be the concern of that in all probability with many artists, that you just get stale working with the identical folks, being, like I mentioned, in your consolation zone. Getting out of your consolation zone to the purpose of you do not even know if it is gonna be anyplace close to what you had earlier than, generally that is scary for artists So, once more, it’s a tough steadiness, for positive.”
Referencing “Name The Satan”, he mentioned: “That is album quantity 9. And if folks have like a superb grasp on what we have performed, and in case you even are sort of new to it, in case you checked out it nearly extra of like artwork and cinema than a standard band and consider, like, say, Quentin Tarantino and all his films, you realize what sort of world you are moving into. And a whole lot of occasions it is the identical actors and a whole lot of occasions it is the identical fashion of flicks, so far as there’s gonna be comedy, there’s gonna be drama, there’s gonna be violence. You realize what sort of world you are moving into, even when you do not know the precise characters. And he brings again a whole lot of the identical folks in several roles and identical crew folks, identical cinematographers. So in case you suppose in that sort of regard, that is sort of like a distinct manner to take a look at what MUSHROOMHEAD does.”
