Savior Sorrow
Savior Sorrow (also recognized as SaVIor Sorrow during the album's development stages) is the fifth studio album by American heavy metal band Mushroomhead. It is their first release through Megaforce Records. This is the first Mushroomhead recording to not feature original vocalist Jason "J Mann" Popson and guitarist Bronson, who left the band in 2004 and 2005 respectively. The former is replaced by Waylon Reavis.
Originally set to be released on June 6, 2006, it was pushed back for unknown reasons (but is speculated due to attempting to acquire the rights to Prince's song, "When Doves Cry" so they could place a cover on the album) and MushroomKombat was launched instead. The album was released on September 19, 2006, in the United States, while overseas versions were released in mid-October 2006.
Bronson left the band in 2005, a year before the album was released, to return to film school. Although the majority of the guitar parts for the album were created by Gravy, Bronson did in fact write the majority of "Cut Me" and "The Need". Rather than recruiting another guitarist, the band decided to let Gravy tackle all the guitar parts in the album. Gravy had said, "it worked out really well, because Bronson wasn't a natural [guitar] player. Now that he's gone, I don't have to worry anymore that my riffs will be too difficult for him to play." Since then, Mushroomhead continues with only one guitarist.
The album was released on Waylon Reavis' birthday, which is also the anniversary of the day he was asked to join the band.
A demo version of the song "Burn" was included on a FYE sampler, which was given away in June exclusively with the purchase of two qualifying CDs at FYE stores. It was limited to 25,000 copies and was done in conjunction with Decibel magazine.
Drummer Steve Felton (Skinny) said: "It's a new chapter in MUSHROOMHEAD's evolution. There are sounds on this album that sound so brutal and huge. We focused on delivering some vicious hardcore mixed with heavy melodic hooks. Lyrically, it definitely reflects where the world is at this moment in time."
The album's first single, "Simple Survival" debuted on Cleveland's WMMS on August 11, 2006. The band began a world tour on September 12, 2006, alongside SOiL, Brand New Sin, and The Autumn Offering as part of the Jägermeister Music Tour. It was featured in the 2007 film Return to House on Haunted Hill.
Videos for "Simple Survival", "Burn", "Damage Done", "12 Hundred", "Save Us" and "Embrace the Ending" have been filmed. "Damage Done" was filmed by Robert Kurtzman's crew after the filming of scenes in the upcoming horror movie The Rage, which features a Mushroomhead performance.
