...MUSHROOMHEAD are quite a busy band these days. The recently re-released "XX" debuted at #26 on Billboard's Alternative New Artist Chart and the first single, "Solitaire Unraveling" is also now a video. The video was directed by Dean Karr (Marilyn Manson, Deftones) and is set in a Southern California airplane hangar. According to band frontman J Mann, the song "acts as a metaphor for the cycles of life and the duality of man." Drummer and founder Skinny adds "It's very much us: dark, creepy, surreal." The video for "Solitaire Unraveling" is currently in rotation on M2 and heavy on MTVX. Mushroomhead has also just completed work on a new song titled "Along The Way" for the soundtrack to the film "Scorpion King" which serves as a prequel to the introduction sequence in "The Mummy Returns." "Scorpion King" is set for a March 26, 2002 release. As if that wasn't enough, Mushroomhead will kick off the first leg of their tour in support of "XX" in Columbus, OH in late February 2002...
