Mushroomhead

Given the decidedly dark nature of its music, it's no surprise that the local metal band Mushroomhead would play a special Christmas show in honor of Krampus, the mythical creature who punishes bad children during the Christmas season. It's been a banner year for the band, which embarked on the Summer of Screams tour that paired it with Powerman 5000, the Browning, Psychostick, Kissing Candice, Unsaid Fate, Voodoo Terror Tribe and Earth Caller. It also released a new DVD, Volume III. The disc features more than 90 minutes of new material, including new music videos, footage of backstage antics and exclusive never-seen-before content.
