    The legacy of the Cleveland sound is returning to the stage in its most iconic form as The Ex-Faces—a powerhouse collective featuring seven former members of the masked-metal juggernaut Mushroomhead—officially announce a massive six-week U.S. headlining tour this summer. This isn’t just a tribute; it’s a high-octane reunion of the definitive eras that shaped industrial metal, bringing the classic atmosphere and dual-vocal attack back to the masses.

    The roster brings together fan-favorite heavyweights from across the band’s storied history, including the formidable vocal pairing of J-Mann and Waylon Reavis, alongside Gravy (guitar), St1tch (keys/samples), Lil Dan (drums), and Mr. Murdernickel (bass), with Pig Benis joining the ranks on select dates.

    The project formed as a love letter to the band’s storied past, giving fans the chance to experience the songs and eras that shaped Mushroomhead live. The band acknowledged the driving force behind the tour:

    “We have heard your voices and the message was eXtremely clear… this is all happening solely from the love and support you have shown.”

        Alexxander Valdez if only Jeffrey Hatrix (Nothing) could hop on this tour, i think the fans heads would explode.

          Glenn Schroeder Original material not many fans of the original sound, like. They decided to do this because fans of their older stuff wanted to not only hear the original material but witness/hear it with the original members. This has been asked for by fans for years.

          Cody Hellion and yet people call mushroom head a cover bad , it’s honestly bad humor and stupid ..this isn’t for the fans this is for clout because without the band they are nothing relevant and if they cared so much perhaps they would still be in mushroom head rather then feeding their own ego seeking irrelevant solo careers 🤷‍♂️.
          But calling them the real mushroom head when they haven’t done shit in years other then for themselves is just idiotic

          Glenn Schroeder ehhh doesn’t make any sense when most original members are together

          The only original if I’m not mistaken is skinny in the new mushroomhead cover band

          Edward Seller He has his own thing going on right now but since all that other stuff he was dealing with is over now he hasnt ruled it out for the future.

          Cody Hellion I thought he was kinda into religion now? Not sure MH fits in with that. I’d love to see him on this tour as well!

          Edward Seller he is still making music with his project, He himself said that he doesn’t rule anything out in the future, but for now he will only focus on his project; he also parted on good terms with Skinny and the lawsuit

          Edward Seller He did, thats part of the reason why it will most likely never happen plus the history. BUT……he did say he wasnt opposed to the idea of the possibility in the future, so only time will tell.

          Jon Dace Jeffrey can be replaced, just like J-mann, Pig Benis, Gravy, and Stitch. I mean, there wasn’t a single original member of Sepultura when that band called it quits. So why can’t the original members of Mushroomhead come back without the problem?

        I understand that but this is the closest thing to actual mushroomhead just missing Jeff but

        Skinnys mushroomhead is more of a coverband now

          I was never the biggest mushroomhead fan. But it does suck that you don’t know who you’re going to see when you go check out the band LOL jmann is by far my favorite

          Russell Wilson That probably will never happen. He said he wasnt opposed to the idea of the possibility in the future but theres a few hurdles that would have to be jumped over before it actually happened.

        Scott Minus Different Band. Classic Mushroomhead would be either Superbuick Lineup or XIII Lineup. This would be more of a Legacy Lineup if we speak in terms of legitimacy, which is cool too, unlike movies.

        Josué Vargas Ramírez I love how you ignore their actual first album but mention that garbage XIII that butchered several songs from the original and added a song from [216].

      I’m so glad they’re doing a full tour the trail run last year was amazing. I wish nothing would join but he’s said he doesn’t see eye to eye with Waylon and I respect him for that

        Richard Egbert He recently said he is not opposed to the idea of a possibility in the future but currently he is just way to busy with his own stuff.

        Richard Egbert when did he say that? Jeff is working on his own projects as well as his health and doesn’t have time. He’s wished them well.

          Kay Bricethis was back last year before ink. I’d commented about wanting them to do a song with the 3 of them and that’s what he said

        Jeff is doing his own project. But this is Jmann and Waylon as close as we are going to get at this point. With mushroomhead being… I don’t even know anymore. At least this is a more accurate representation of mushroomhead

          Jacob Hedrick Yeah I know and Ill take what I can get but man would it be sweet to get an XX/XIII type of get together like this.

      • Cody Hellion on

        Steven John Yeah, JMann is crushing it with Waylon and Waylon is killing it stepping in for Jeffrey’s parts and his own. Jeffrey has said recently he is not opposed to the idea in the future but he is just to busy right now with his other project and life to take on something else.

        Epik Trujillo This was highly anticipated and asked about for a very long time. Nothing wrong with giving your fans what they want. Most fans of their older stuff arent fans of the newer material and wanted to hear/see the original material played with original members.

      I still have my mushroomhead shirt from seeing them in cleveland in the mid 90s when they first got together. I grew up around lorain, oh. I would love to see an original superbuick performance.

        Nicholas Angeloni I have a drum stick with the x face on it from like 2007 or 2008, I was a kid at the time. Everyone in the band was super cool to me. I met them at the cove Geneva on the lake Ohio.

        Neil Coney I follow Jeffrey on here I seen him say he wasn’t interested because he’s focused on his solo career but he’s not against working with them in the future. I don’t see why they wouldn’t invite him he was a core part of the band.

      So many former members of one band to form another together is pretty epic! Big fan of what is going. Waiting for on eastern side PA!
