Comeback Kid announce new album ‘Heavy Steps’

COMEBACK KID have announced a new album!

Titled Heavy Steps, the upcoming album from the hardcore band is the long-awaited follow-up to 2017’s Outsider, and is scheduled to be released in January next year, via Nuclear Blast Records.

Although the members of the band are currently residing on different sides of the country in Vancouver and Toronto, the band decided to write and record their latest effort in the band’s originating city of Winnipeg, Manitoba at Private Ear Recording Studio and once again enlisted the services of producer John Paul Peters [CANCER BATS, PROPAGANDHI] who recorded the band’s debut album Turn It Around. In addition to co-production by Peters, on the upcoming album, COMEBACK KID collaborated with prominent Grammy award-winning mixer and long-time fan of the band Will Putney [KNOCKED LOOSE, EVERY TIME I DIE]. The album also features a guest appearance by GOJIRA’s Joe Duplantier.

“It’s about hitting the ground running, not knowing when or where the ground could break from underneath you,” summarises vocalist Andrew Neufeld about the new album. “It’s heavy steps on thin ice. Heavy Steps on hollow ground.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; the title track Heavy Steps. The new song is the second single to be released from the upcoming album, following on from No Easy Way Out, which was released back in September.

Speaking about the new song, Neufeld says, “I think of our new single Heavy Steps as a bold statement of a riff right off the bat, and lyrically coming from an unhinged perspective about tearing through life. Instinct over reason – without even realizing how easily our worlds could implode from under our feet. A bit of a “just test me” type sentiment is being echoed in this song.”
