"It's like a meat locker 'cause there's just hooks everywhere," Papa Roach frontman Jacoby Shaddix, formerly known as Coby Dick, said of the band's fourth major-label release, due this Fall. "I'm not lying."
Papa Roach have yet to title the upcoming album, but the band is clearly thrilled with the results of the recording sessions, according to MTV.com. "It's the best album we've recorded to date," Shaddix said of the material, which they recorded with Getting Away With Murder producer Howard Benson while living together in a Hollywood mansion for two months.
"
That was really the big difference between any of the other records that we've made, which is that we jammed together for hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and really just dug deep within ourselves and tried to push things forward artistically,"
Shaddix said. "
We felt like we could do anything because nobody was listening at that point.
"We found sides of our band that are so different than anything we've done previously but that are so powerful," he added. "Definitely true to Papa Roach form, we always evolve. That's what keeps this band alive."
Papa Roach haven't picked their first single but have narrowed it down to "Crash," "What Do You Do" or "Forever."
"'Forever' is one of the songs that really [found us] stepping out of the box. It's really stripped down, but then it's got this mega, super sing-along anthem in it," Shaddix said. "Usually it's obvious which song's the first single, but there's just so much good stuff for us to choose from. I'm excited. I think our fans are going to love this record."
