MUSHROOMHEAD are plotting a tentative March 2020 release date for their eighth studio album through their new label home of Napalm Records. The band did some recording for it at Abbey Road Studios in London, England this past month while on tour in the UK and hope to complete the outing later in the year.
Speaking of that session recently with rocksins.com, the band’s drummer Steve “Skinny” Felton commented:
“…Basically, we got off the plane and got dropped off at Abbey Road, did a vocal session, then went and did our first show. That’s actually our 2nd time at Abbey Road, we did a vocal session there a year and a half ago and some of that got kept for this new record. Actually Jackie is on 4 of the new songs and 2 of the 4 were recorded at Abbey.
It’s pretty cool just be there, just sitting in the rooms where ‘Dark Side of the Moon‘ was done, where they do all the orchestras, all the soundtrack recordings, it’s crazy when you walk down the halls and see all the posters for ‘Star Wars‘, ‘Harry Potter‘, ‘Indiana Jones‘… So many, you just don’t even think of, it’s pretty crazy but awesome.”
Felton went on to say that the record is about 80% done and commented of the band’s further plans for it:
“…We’ll finish writing and recording, get to mixing… we’ve got a 4-5 week run in the States from October then we’ll get back to the album and making a video, which is another highlight. I love making video work it’s a lot of fun.”
