Dee Snider releases new song, details of new album (video)
The former Twisted Sister frontman has a new album coming out in July, and a video for the first single is out.
Former Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider will release his fifth solo album, Leave A Scar, on July 30 via Napalm Records. The album was produced by Hatebreed vocalist Jamey Jasta, who also produced Snider’s well-regarded 2018 album For The Love of Metal.
Here’s Snider’s statement on the new album.
“At the end of 2019, I had felt my recording and live performing was over, but I didn't announce it to the world. I mentally had decided I was done. But the state of things in 2020 had other plans for me. Between Covid and the political state around the globe, I found myself yearning (yes, I yearn) to get back in the studio. In the immortal words of Ice Cube, 'I got somethin' to say!'"
“By the end of 2020, I knew I not only had to get back into the studio, but for the first time since the '90s, I wanted – no, needed – to be a part of the writing process. I reached out to my producer Jamey Jasta and told him I was ready to make another record. Leave a Scar is filled with messages to and for the silent voices in the world who need someone to speak out on their behalf. This is my purpose.”
A video for the first single from Leave A Scar, “I Gotta Rock (Again)”, is out. Here’s what Snider said about the song.
-'I Gotta Rock (Again)' is the starting gun for this album and the driving motivation behind me returning to the studio to record Leave a Scar,"
Here’s the video for “I Gotta Rock (Again)”.
So what do you think of Snider’s new song? I give it about a 5 or 6 out of 10, but maybe I need to listen to it more and it’ll grow on me. Leave A Scar is available for preorder here.
