Sooooo, I was going to make my "Song of the Day" for the Heat of the Night forums the b-side from the Suicide Commando single that I recently reviewed. But then, I stumbled across the most delicious, exciting, innovative, and DIFFERENT Mushroom I had yet to encounter. This was when I truly realized the glory of Infected Mushroom.
I had already been introduced to Infected Mushroom from their album "Converting Vegetarians" a couple years ago. They are the band that introduced me to Psytrance. Now I've come to find the experimental side of IM, and I've said before, I have recently developed a hunger for something DIFFERENT. When you spend nearly 7 years listening to Industrial and other electronic genres, you get tired of the trend of sameness you start to see. Then you come across a band like Infected Mushroom that takes that salad and tosses it like you've never seen before.
Infected Mushroom has recently released a new album, one that meshes Metal and Rock with Psytrance. The combination they achieve is sooo damn sexy, any fan of rock, metal, industrial, and generally experimental music will LOVE Infected Mushroom guaranteed.
In their newest album, "Legend of the Black Shawarma", they even employ guest vocalists Perry Ferrell of Jane's Addiction and Jonathan Davis (featured in the first link) of Korn. Seriously guys, more than any music I've plugged here before, I encourage to at LEAST give Infected Mushroom a listen. You'll find yourself wondering whether you should be headbanging or dancing!
IM is like the KMFDM of the Psytrance genre. They are not afraid to tread ground where other Psytrance musicians fear to step foot, despite whatever criticism they may receive from purists in the genre. They are almost like Juno Reactor, except that they keep their Psytrance style in their songs whereas Juno Reactor often strays completely away.
So in short, Infected Mushroom has captured my heart. These guys are talented up the ass, and should be given a chance by any Metal, Rock, and electronic music fan out there. Maybe, if you like them, you should catch one of their shows during their world tour (which hasn't stopped since 1999!).
