Hollywood Undead announce new album ‘Hotel Kalifornia’
HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD have announced a new album!
Titled Hotel Kalifornia, the upcoming album from the band is the follow-up to 2020’s New Empire, Vol. 2, and is scheduled to be released in August this year, via BMG.
The upcoming album was recorded in Nashville and Los Angeles with producers Erik Ron [PANIC! AT THE DISCO, MOTIONLESS IN WHITE], Andrew Migliore [SUECO, PAPA ROACH], and Drew Fulk [LIL WAYNE, LIL PEEP]. Working face-to-face, the band rekindled the unbridled intensity of their formative material, yet with refinement only possible through years of grinding on the road.
“We were in a world of shit,” states vocalist/bassist Johnny 3 Tears. “The opportunities for failure were far more prevalent than the opportunities for success. We were hanging out with gangbangers and drug dealers. The chances of overcoming were very slim. We made something special together because of the heartbreak and heartache that came from all our experiences.” Vocalist/guitarist J-Dog adds, “Hotel Kalifornia brings me back to a time when all that mattered was music. The only thing I gave a shit about was going to shows. That was it.”
“When you listen to Hotel Kalifornia, I hope you see how far we’ve come,” Johnny 3 Tears leaves off. “J-Dog and Charlie Scene are completely different songwriters than they were 15 years ago. I’m so impressed by everyone in the band. The only thing we give a fuck about is the audience and trying to get better on each record.”
“After all of these years, people on the outside really have a hard time believing we’re still best friends,” J-Dog adds. “We’ve stayed this close even with all of the shit we’ve been through. Usually, bands break up friendships, but we’re best friends – and we always will be.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD have released a new song from the upcoming album; City Of The Dead.
