Lionize announce new album ‘Panic Attack!’
LIONIZE have announced a new album!
Titled Panic Attack!, the upcoming album from the funk rockers is scheduled to be released in October this year.
The upcoming album was produced by the band with co-production from J. Robbins and Charlie Stavish (IMAGINE DRGONS, MARS VOLTA), who also handled mixing duties. The album also features CLUTCH sticksman Jean-Paul Gaster behind the kit and is the first to be released on the band’s new label Electric Reckoning Music.
Speaking about working with Jean-Paul, LIONIZE frontman Nate Bergman says, “we’ve worked with Jean-Paul on many aspects of the band over time – from producing, to touring, to helping us record and pre-produce entire albums. In many instances during an after hours late-night beer session in the studio or simply on a lunch break, Hank, Chris, and myself would find a chance to noodle around and jam with JP. It was always so exciting to play something new with the best rock and roll drummer in the world. When we asked him to record a full album with us and the answer was yes, it was an opportunity I knew would bring the best results the band has ever put forth. He is such a musical force that it’s elevated the songs to a level we’ve never achieved before. I can’t wait for everyone to hear the magic we made together.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released the first song from the upcoming record; titled Loneliest Whale. Speaking about the new song, Nate Bergman says, “the song Loneliest Whale is one of my favourite songs we’ve ever written. It was inspired by an article in Science Weekly about a whale that can’t find its pod because it’s sending and receiving frequency is unlike any other whale on Earth. As we were writing the album, we began to understand that everyone feels like this whale. Politically, socially, economically – we all feel like we aren’t being heard. Our signals are crossed and we’re looking for our own pods, our communities. The chorus simply asks “Is there anyone out there, just like me?” So many times, especially as artists, we’ve felt most at home on tour or at a rock n’ roll festival, where we’ve found our community.”
