INFECTED MUSHROOM's video for “Smashing the Opponent,” the first single from their new album LEGEND OF THE BLACK SHAWARMA (September 8, Perfecto Records), makes its debut today, Thursday, August 6 via Singing FOOL at http://singingfool.com/Title.aspx?publishedid=630867. MTV2’s Subterranean will also premiere the video this Sunday night (Monday morning) at 1:00 am est and it has also been added to MTV LOGO’s PopLab video countdown show to air next Wednesday, August 12.
Directed by Petro and co-conceived with the song’s featured vocalist Jonathan Davis of Korn, the video was recently shot at Los Angeles’ The Roxy Theatre and the massive electronic music festival Electric Daisy Carnival in Los Angeles (Saturday, June 27) which drew over 90,000 people. The video–keeping in line with the band’s engaging persona–combines hilarious concept scenes and appearances by Jonathan Davis and Paul Oakenfold (Perfecto Records label head), as well as the unpredictable antics of actor/choreographer Ryan Heffington, aka Super Star DJ, and humongous closet INFECTED MUSHROOM fan Baron van Douche, with dazzling live performance footage of INFECTED MUSHROOM.
Meanwhile, several stunning remixes of “Smashing” by Timo Maas, Adam White, XI, Robert Vadney and J. Viewz are available now via Beatport. The gamut of styles runs from psy-trance, tech house, trance and chill out.
On the touring front, Amit “Duvdev” Duvedevani (vocals) and Erez Eisen (keyboards) will be joined by their INFECTED MUSHROOM band mates Rogerio Jardim (drums) and Tom Cunningham (guitar) for several unique shows highlighting songs from the new album, plus material from their previous seven releases. To date these include appearances at the world-renowned art festival Burning Man, a double-night stint at the Fox Theater in Boulder, CO and an all-ages show at New York City’s Terminal 5. A complete tour for the fall surrounding the release of Legend Of The Black Shawarma is in the works and will be unveiled at a later date.
