FOX LAKE Announce New Album ‘New World Heat,’ Drop “Pure Adrenaline” Video

Fox Lake have officially announced their next full-length album, New World Heat, which is set to drop on August 16th via Rotten Records. The Colorado-based trap-metal outfit also dropped a blistering new single, “Pure Adrenaline”, complete with a high-energy music video to match.

New World Heat will serve as the follow-up to 2022’s Silence & Violence, continuing the band’s fusion of metalcore, hardcore, and hip-hop influences. The freshly released track lives up to its name, delivering an aggressive blend of bouncy grooves, rapid-fire bars, and chaotic breakdowns.

The band had the following to say about the new single:

“Even though ‘Pure Adrenaline‘ didn’t come together until the latter half of the recording process for the album, most of the ingredients existed as far back as 2021. The majority of the instrumental demo was written years ago, and the lyrics and energy were conceptualized in our first few conversations about what we wanted to bring to this album.

We all came together and unanimously agreed that we wanted the new songs to be faster, more visceral, more concrete, and most importantly, all gas, no brakes. Pure f**king adrenaline.”

Speaking on the overarching theme of New World Heat, the band shared:

“The basic concept of the album is about burning things down in order to restart. It’s about who you are versus who you want to be. The world you live in versus the world you want to live in. It takes guts to strip everything away and take a hard, honest look at your life and the world around you.

Everyone has things that hold them down and things that seem to hold their reality in place. Habits, social circles, vices, beliefs, political systems, traumas, etc. Those things will be different for everyone. But the one constant is that action begets action and inaction begets inaction. You either drown in complacency or burn parts of yourself away to create a better world. We all have a choice. Musically, we felt like this concept fit perfectly with where we were at. We all have different inspirations that we want to bring into Fox Lake. It can be tricky to mesh together all the genres that we’re inspired by while still having an original sound.

So, for this record, we burned down the limitations we had previously put on ourselves and restarted our writing process with a singular goal — to sound like Fox Lake. The end result is an album that we’re extremely excited about and that feels very authentic to us. The music is faster, heavier, groovier, and catchier than ever before. It’s a new sound for a new world. Everyone is going to have different opinions on whether the band is more hardcore, nu-metal, rock, or metalcore. But everyone’s gonna know it’s Fox Lake.”
