PAPA ROACH: 'Hollywood Whore' Video, New Interview Available

October 28, 2008

"Hollywood Whore", the new video from PAPA ROACH, can be viewed below. Also available is a question-and-answer session with the band conducted behind the scenes during the "Hollywood Whore" video shoot. All of the questions in the interview were submitted by fans via The Rockvine web site.

"Hollywood Whore" is the first single off PAPA ROACH's fifth major label album, "Metamorphosis", which is scheduled for release in March 2009. The CD was tentatively slated to come out either in September or October, although a firm release date had never been established. Frontman Jacoby Shaddix admitted he was a little disappointed about the delay but told The Pulse of Radio it would be worth the wait. "It's kind of a bummer it can't come out this year, you know, but it's like, we want to set it up right, you know, and this record's just a monster," he said. "When we got done with it, we sat back and listened to all the cuts and we were just baffled that we wrote this record, you know. And I think what makes it great to us is that it was a challenge."

"Metamorphosis" will follow up 2006's "The Paramour Sessions". 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 personal issues.

One track, called "Lifeline", was co-written with James Michael of SIXX: A.M.

PAPA ROACH recently finished touring with SIXX: A.M., MÖTLEY CRÜE, BUCKCHERRY and others as part of Crüe Fest, and began a new trek with STAIND and SEETHER on October 4 in Columbia, Maryland.
