Call the Devil is the ninth studio album by metal band Mushroomhead. It was released on August 9, 2024.[7][8] The album is considered a continuation of their experimental and alternative metal style from previous album A Wonderful Life, deviating from early nu metal influences to form a more accessible record.[9] It is the first album to feature guitarist Joe "Jenkins" Gaal, vocalist Scott Beck and drummer Aydin Kerr. In addition, it serves as the return of guitarist Dave "Gravy" Felton. It is produced by long-time member Steve "Skinny" Felton, mixed by Matt Wallace and mastered by Jacob Hansen.[10] The first single released was "Fall in Line" on June 13, 2024, followed by its music video. "Prepackaged" and its video followed on July 10[11] and "We Don't Care" was released on August 7.[12][13][14]
