Staind Releases First New Single in 12 years 'Lowest In Me'

Multi-platinum rock band, Staind has released a brand new single "Lowest In Me" from their forthcoming album, Confessions of the Fallen, available today via Alchemy Recordings/BMG on all music platforms.

Confessions of the Fallen - Staind's first new studio album since 2011 - cranks into life with debut single, "Lowest In Me," that is both familiar and fresh.

The hallmarks of the sound the band established close to 30 years ago are all there -- Aaron Lewis' vocals flexing from melodic keening to a hellacious roar, Mike Mushok's ferocious guitar muscling the track forward, Johnny April and Sal Giancarelli propelling it with industrial-strength energy.

But sliding through are some new touches, electronic flavorings that give the song, as well as the rest of the 10-track album, a refreshed and contemporary sensibility, letting us know that it's still Staind but that Staind has not been in a time capsule since its self-titled effort in 2011.

"I did want to modernize the sound and bring us up to date," Lewis says. "You can certainly recognize the band but at the same time you can hear that we've been paying attention and understand what kind of sounds and approaches we can use that maybe weren't around the last time we did this." Adds Mushok, "It's undeniably Aaron's voice, and same for the songs. We got together and spent a lot of time focusing on direction, and we really like how it turned out."
