''The Righteous & the Butterfly'' is the eighth studio album by metal band Mushroomhead. It was released on May 13, 2014. It is the band's first studio album since 2003's XIII to feature Jason "J Mann" Popson on vocals, and the last to feature Waylon Reavis on vocals and Tom Schmitz on keyboards. It is also their first album without Pig Benis on bass since the self-titled album, and Gravy on guitar since M3, as well as the first album to feature Dr. F on bass, Church on guitar, and Roberto Diablo on percussion. Jeffrey "Nothing" Hatrix said about the members' departure: "We also parted ways with a couple of members who didn't share in the founding members’ vision of what Mushroomhead was always meant to be. Pig and Gravy both saw our future in a far different way".〔 (Interview with Jeffrey Nothing ), by Grande-Rock.com retrieved on August 31, 2014.〕 The album title is a dedication to original guitarist John "JJ Righteous" Sekula and wife of drummer Steve "Skinny" Felton Vanessa Solowiow, both of whom had died in 2010 and 2013 respectively. ==Album information== In September 2012, Mushroomhead announced that they are currently in the studio working on new music via their Facebook fan page. It was said by Mushroomhead frontman Jeffrey Nothing that former Slipknot and current Painface vocalist Anders Colsefni is in the works to do a recording together in their upcoming studio sessions. The band entered their own Filthy Hands Studio in December 2012 to begin writing and recording their next studio album. Their upcoming eighth album is the first to showcase all three vocalists. Drummer Skinny described it as "very energetic, dark and by far their heaviest album to date, just a fresh spin on the same old thing if you will. This is the first record with Church on guitar and Farrell on bass, so having those new writers on board you never know where it's going to go. For the old school fans there's a lot of flavorful elements in it so they will definitely enjoy it." The album was revealed to come out around early 2014. On August 16, Jason Popson confirmed his return to the band on his personal Facebook. Mushroomhead toured Australia for the first time as part of the Soundwave Festival 2014.〔() 〕 On February 14, 2014, Mushroomhead announced a release date of May 13, 2014, of the album along with the title, ''The Righteous & the Butterfly''.
