Dee Snider announces new album ‘Leave A Scar’
DEE SNIDER has announced a new album!
Titled Leave A Scar, the upcoming album from the iconic hard rock/heavy metal icon is his brand new solo album, the follow-up to 2018’s For The Love Of Metal, and is scheduled to be released in July this year, via Napalm Records.
The upcoming album was once again produced by Jamey Jasta with co-production, mixing and mastering done by drummer Nick Bellmore.
Speaking about the upcoming album, DEE SNIDER says, “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.”
Regarding working with Snider again, producer/HATEBREED frontman Jamey Jasta adds, “getting to work with Dee again has been incredible! The power and range in his vocals on this album really shine. Not only is he an American treasure and staple in the rock/metal community, he’s a truly original voice and talent like no other. Combine that with the metallic prowess of the Bellmore bros + Russell Pzütto and Nick Petrino, you get a rockin’ metal recipe that even the most “Dee-hard” SMF’ers will surely love!”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, Snider has released a new music video for the first song lifted from the upcoming album; I Gotta Rock (Again). Speaking about the new song, Dee says, “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. 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!'”
