Pierce The Veil announce new album ‘The Jaws Of Life’

PIERCE THE VEIL have announced a new album!

Titled The Jaws Of Life, the upcoming album from the Californian band is the long-awaited follow-up to 2016’s Misadventures, and is scheduled to be released in February next year, via Fearless Records.

The upcoming album was produced by Paul Meany [TWENTY ONE PILOTS, MUTEMATH, THE BLUE STONES] and mixed by Adam Hawkins [MACHINE GUN KELLY, TURNSTILE, TWENTY ONE PILOTS].

Speaking about the upcoming album, vocalist Vic Fuentes says, “this album has truly brought us closer than we’ve ever been. It was extremely difficult for us to be off the road and apart for so long. We’ve never missed anything more than playing music together and never had such an strong appreciation for recording, touring, and simply being in the same room together than we do now. The Jaws Of Life is about how life can sink its teeth into you and try to devour you. The negativity in the world and within your mind can be a vicious thing. We’re extremely grateful for this record, our fans, and the opportunity to play live music again.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Emergency Contact. The new song is the second single to be released from the upcoming album, following on from Pass The Nirvana, which was released last month.

Speaking about the new song, Fuentes says, “there’s so much desperation underlying the lyrics of this song. It talks about a relationship where one person is ready to take things to the next level while the other is still unsure. One person is begging the other to either move forward or to let them out because being stuck in the middle is torture. I wrote this song in Seattle at Mike Herrera from MXPX‘s home studio. He let me live there for a couple of months while working on the record. I love writing in Seattle because it gives me all of the 90s grunge rock vibes. Plus, it rains all the time, and I love the rain.”
