Dee Snider announces new live album ‘For The Love of Metal Live’

Dee Snider has announced a new live album!

Titled For The Love of Metal Live, the upcoming live album from the iconic heavy metal frontman follows on from the release of his latest solo album, 2018’s For The Love Of Metal, and is scheduled to be released in July this year, via Napalm Records.

Combined behind-the-scenes footage, various detailed interview clips, insightful personal commentary and electrifying live performances, the DVD/Blu-Ray and accompanying live album features audio captured from several festival performances worldwide – from the United States to Europe, Australia and beyond. In addition to tracks from Snider’s solo catalogue like I Am The Hurricane and For The Love Of Metal, TWISTED SISTER favourites like I Wanna Rock and We’re Not Gonna Take It, and even a cover of AC/DC’s Highway to Hell, the audio portion of For The Love Of Metal Live also features a brand new original studio track, Prove Me Wrong.

Speaking about the new live album, Snider says, “while live entertainment has been curtailed for now, we cannot let the spirit of live entertainment die within us. Any music I’ve ever loved and listened to, I always imagine what it would be like live. When I was young and couldn’t go to shows, all I had was what I thought the bands would be like live. We must keep our desire to see and hear the great new music out there in concert, because that’s its true habitat. Bands on stage with fans cheering them on in the audience is the way the rock gods intended it to be. The response to For the Love of Metal was so strong, and my new band so good, that I wanted to capture ‘Dee Snider’ for the new millennium. All of my other live concert releases are all about the past. And while my past is represented here, it is presented along with my new music, played by my new band and is very much ‘in the now’. The included interviews give insight into my world, my journey and my evolution since I started nearly 50 years ago.”

Alongside the announcement of the new live album, Dee Snider has released the aforementioned new song Prove Me Wrong. Speaking about the new song, he says, Prove Me Wrong are words that I’ve thought in my head since the day I began rocking. I had a monster chip on my shoulder and dared the world to knock it off… nobody ever could. At this point in my career I thought I’d let everybody in on what has kept be going all these many years. Prove me wrong!”
