Staind's highly anticipated new album, Confessions of the Fallen - the band's first new studio album since 2011 - will be released on September 15, 2023 via Alchemy Recordings/BMG.
The 10 tracks on Confessions of the Fallen explore a variety of sonic niches. Debut single "Lowest In Me" (currently #2* on the active rock chart), "Cycle of Hurting", "Was Any of it Real?" and "Hate Me Too" rush forward with unrelenting fury, the electronics adding to the musicians' frenetic onslaught. Tracks like "Out of Time", "In This Condition" and "The Fray" feature fluid arrangements and stirring dynamic changes, while "Here and Now" and the cautiously optimistic "Better Days" remind us that Staind is the pretty is not alien - if appropriate, of course. Lyrically, Confessions of the Fallen draws again from the dark, thoughtful corners that Lewis has always included in Staind's songs, yet these 10 songs are as personal as ever. "I am working
still getting me through my troubles," says Aaron.
"And until then, I'm dreaming of better days. I hope that's how everyone feels at the moment... better days are yet to come."
A legion of Staind fans will surely find their better days in the band's new songs.
