About Infected Mushroom:
Originally formed in 1997 and hailing from Kiryat Yam, Haifa District, Israel, INFECTED MUSHROOM has certainly left their stamp on the electro dance and rock genres, having worked with the likes of Perry Farrell (Jane’s Addiction) and Jonathan Davis (Korn), in addition to twice being voted among the world’s “Ten Best DJ’s” in DJ Magazine (however, they do not DJ). In the process, the group has issued such hit albums as 2009’s Legend of the Black Shawarma (which peaked at #9 on Billboard‘s Top Electronic Albums chart) and scored such dance hits as “Killing Time” and “Smashing the Opponent.” ARMY OF MUSHROOMS, due out May 8 on Dim Mak Records, is their eighth and most stylistically varied album to date. The first single, “U-R-So-Fu**ed,” has the duo dipping their toes slightly into dubstep laced with an operatic vocal. Its accompanying video was shot in HD and features the pair matched up against Argentinean wrestlers Lilian Pavone and Norma Álvarez (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpFzESVN-xU&hd=1). Other tracks on the album include collaborations with Borgore, Zedd and Zia Macovich.
