This October Numetal Mayhem is delivering to Australasia two of the most iconic men from two of the biggest Nu Metal bands ever.
For the first time in history lead singers from rival bands, Slipknot and Mushroomhead, will share the stage together, ending the legendary feud that has been waged in the press and across social media for twenty-five years.
Waylon Reavis is returning to Australia after a 9-year hiatus when he stunned stadiums as the frontman for Mushroomhead at Soundwave 2014. To this day, Reavis is widely acknowledged as being the stand-out vocalist for the iconic masked group and his ongoing success with A Killers' Confession is testament to that ability.
Reavis will be playing all your favorite Mushroomhead tracks including I’ll Be Here, Simple Survival, 1200, Our Apologies, Save Us and QWERTY. Mushroomhead have never toured New Zealand and have made no indication that they will be traveling to Australia anytime soon. If you want to hear these classic Mushroomhead tracks this will probably be the only time you will get to.
With public interest for the Numetal Mayhem Tour intensifying, HEAVY tracked down Reavis to get some more information.
Some of the topics of discussion include Numetal Mayhem and what he is bringing to the tour, first details about his new album coming out later this year, the contentious issue of merch cuts, rising tour costs and how to still make a profit, surviving cancer, pop in metal and more.
