With a live set scheduled for this Friday, tomorrow, at Psycho in Las Vegas, Mutoid Man has decided its time to share news of their new lineup addition.

The band, also featuring Stephen Brodsky and Ben Koller, parted ways amicably with Nick Cageao in 2019. Today they've announced the addition of Jeff Matz (High On Fire) to the three-piece lineup.

Brodsky offers:

“Countless times we’ve asked ourselves ‘What would High On Fire do?’ while writing music over the years —  now we can go straight to the source! Getting to know Jeff has been a real treat, and his devotion to music is nothing short of astounding. We’re pumped for the next chapter of Mutoid Man now having Jeff on board with his unparalleled 4-stringed Thunderclapping fury!”  

Mutoid Man last released War Moans in 2017 and is at work on a new album scheduled for release in 2022 with the new lineup. The album will release via Sargent House.

Mutoid Man, live:

Friday, August 20 - Las Vegas, NV @ Mandalay Bay Main Stage (Psycho Las Vegas)

Similarly huge, De Vermis Mysteriis is a much dirtier affair; pummeling riffs and absolutely gigantic swells of sound make up this mystical journey into darkness. Based loosely on a grimoire written by Robert Bloch (the … Read more

What else can you expect from High on Fire other than an album with a thick, punishing sound that just sort of rumbles on across the hour or so that it takes to listen?
