Protest The Hero announce new album ‘Palimpsest’

PROTEST THE HERO have announced a new album!

Titled Palimpsest, the upcoming album from the Canadian progressive metal band is scheduled to be released in June this year, via Spinefarm Records.

The upcoming album features 10 new tracks, including last month’s single The Canary, and is the first music from the band since Pacific Myth in 2016.

Speaking of the upcoming album, guitarist Luke Hoskin says, “Palimpsest is by far the most challenging record we have worked on. The writing and recording process saw so many delays, it’s honestly hard to keep them straight. We are very proud of how each hurdle was handled though, and the end result is a record that we believe is deserving of such an endeavour.” 

“This record was extremely difficult for me personally,” shares frontman Rody Walker. “With my first child on the way, I built a studio in my basement to ensure I wasn’t leaving my wife alone with a new child for weeks on end. I haven’t left my house since. What made it most difficult was the change in my voice. During our final tour, just before we were set to start recording, I blew my voice out, and it didn’t come back. I spent a long time fighting with it trying to bounce back and failing. Finally, through coaching and rehearsal, I got it back into shape. For the first time in my life, singing felt like an actual job and I’m still pissed about it. I have never worked harder to put out music in my life and I am extremely proud of the product.”
