Jeffrey Nothing, the co-founding vocalist of Mushroomhead, has announced his official return to live performance following an eight-year hiatus. The musician confirmed a comprehensive U.S. tour alongside a new solo album titled 202SICK. The upcoming project marks his first solo full-length release since 2011’s The New Psychodalia.
202SICK is scheduled for release in late 2026, tentatively arriving in the fall, through Wurmgroup, the record label founded by producer Ulrich Wild. The album was composed and produced by Joshua Vargas, with Ulrich Wild handling mixing and mastering duties. Musically, the record is described as blending the experimental foundation of early Mushroomhead with a heavier, more abstract modern approach.
Reflecting on the upcoming album and his return to the stage, Jeffrey Nothing issued the following statement:
“This is the culmination of an 8 year journey. I’m very excited to get back out there and see everyone. Mushroomhead has what I believe to be the best fans in the world and I can’t wait to rock their faces again.”
“The new record started out as what I believed at the time may be the last record I ever put out on this earth, and has turned into a new chapter that I’m very excited about. My songwriting partner and I have been recording non-stop over the last year. It has the experimental nature of the early Shroom stuff while, at times, being heavier than anything Shroom ever did. This is a true expression of who I am as an artist.”
“I’d like to thank Ulrich Wild and Wurmgroup for releasing it for me, as well as Michelle at Satellite Touring for putting the tour together for me. See you guys on the road!”
The 2026 U.S. tour will begin on July 25 and conclude on August 26, routing through the East Coast, Gulf Coast, Midwest, and New England. October Noir will serve as the support act for the opening week, with Dizasterpiece taking over the opening slot for the remainder of the dates.
