Staind have confirmed a March 5 release date for their previously announced ninth studio album, ‘The Space Between The Darkness And The Light.’ The multi-platinum alternative metal outfit will issue the record through Alchemy Recordings/BMG, and have also unveiled its first single, “Watch Me Break.”
The album was recorded with producer Erik Ron (Bad Omens, Papa Roach). Frontman and guitarist Aaron Lewis explained that the record’s title reflects the recurring tension explored throughout its material.
“The struggle in the middle of dark and light is so fucking present throughout the entire album. It almost named itself. The title fit this collection because the songs are stuck in the conflict between opposite ends of the spectrum. There are a couple of songs where I’m straight up talking to God. To me, that’s The Space Between The Darkness and The Light.”
Lewis also discussed the newly released single, describing it as a particularly pointed track inspired by his frustrations with the music business.
“It was the last song I did because I knew I was going to be pretty angry throughout the whole thing. It’s definitely pointed at this insane machine the music industry puts human beings in and expects them to come out normal.”
The complete track listing for ‘The Space Between The Darkness And The Light’ runs as follows:
- “Watch Me Break”
- “100 Mile Stare”
- “Broken”
- “All Along”
- “Ghosts”
- “Pull Me Down”
- “Digging My Own Grave”
- “Why”
- “Free”
- “Get Away”
Pre-orders for the album are available now through Staind’s official store.
