Lots of band members, scary masks, and metal music that focuses on being as psychotic and frightening as possible - if this sounds similar to Slipknot, well, that's because these are the guys that Slipknot supposedly shamelessly copied from. Having been around before Slipknot, Mushroomhead have a broader and more diverse catalog to draw from, but the premise remains the same: loud, macabre, and definitely aimed at the darker parts of the human imagination. Co-headlining are punk rockers (Hed)p.e.; Supe and Straight Line Stitch open.
