Multi-platinum rock band Staind have just dropped another new single, “Cycle of Hurting.” The song will appear on their upcoming new album, Confessions of the Fallen, which will be released on September 15th via BMG/Alchemy Recordings.
Watch the new animated music video for “Cycle of Hurting” below.
For Staind, Confessions of the Fallen, marks their first new album since 2011’s self-titled album. Variants of the album including limited-edition orange vinyl, and other exclusive merch items are available through album pre-order here.
The 10 tracks featured on Confessions of the Fallen explore a variety of sonic niches. Debut single “Lowest In Me” (currently top 5 on the active rock chart), “Cycle of Hurting, “Was Any of it Real?” and “Hate Me Too” pummel forth with unrelenting fury, the electronics enhancing the frenetic attack from the players. Tracks such as “Out of Time,” “In This Condition” and “The Fray” are marked by ebb-and-flow arrangements and sweeping dynamic changes, while “Here and Now” and the cautiously optimistic “Better Days” remind us that Staind is no stranger to the pretty – when appropriate, that is.
Lyrically, Confessions of the Fallen draws again from those dark, reflective places Aaron Lewis has always mined in Staind’s songs, and these 10 songs are as personal as he’s ever been. “I’m still working through my issues,” says Lewis. “Still working through my problems, and until then I’ll dream of better days. I hope that’s how everybody feels right now…better days are yet to come.”
