PAPA ROACH Frontman Interviewed Backstage At 'Crüe Fest' In San Bernardino; Video Available

August 14, 2008

Jayme Foxx of Altitude conducted an interview with PAPA ROACH singer Jacoby Shaddix at the San Bernardino, California stop of Crüe Fest '08 on August 2, 2008 at San Manuel Amphitheater. Watch the three-minute chat below.

PAPA ROACH is putting the finishing touches on its fifth major label CD, "Metamorphosis". Shaddix told The Pulse of Radio what the name is all about and what to expect from the disc. "The album's titled 'Metamorphosis' and the album is just that," he said. "There's some stuff that's, like, harder and faster on this record that we, you know, have kind of delved away from for a little while. But then also there's, like, a polarity to that. It's like, for us it was just, you know, just kicking down new doors. That's what we do all the time with our music. It's definitely a diverse record, and some of the most powerful music we've written."

"Metamorphosis" is expected out before the end of the year. The band has yet to decide on an exact release date or first single.

The disc will mark the recording debut with PAPA ROACH of ex-UNWRITTEN LAW drummer Tony Palermo, who replaced founding drummer Dave Buckner last year after Buckner went down with substance abuse issues.

MÖTLEY CRÜE guitarist Mick Mars will tentatively contribute some lead guitar to a song called "Into The Light" on the new PAPA ROACH album. Jacoby Shaddix recently sang background vocals on the title track from the CRÜE's upcoming new release, "Saints of Los Angeles".
