New Papa Roach LP Is ‘Diverse’, ‘Experimental’, ‘Emotional’ And ‘Dynamic’

Papa Roach guitarist Jerry Horton was recently a guest of The Mistress Carrie Podcast and talked about working on the follow up to 2022’s “Ego Trip”.

“I would say that maybe the experience — well, definitely the experience was different, ’cause we kind of bounced around different producers, different studios, but I think the energy is the same. We’re still fired up about it. And the first song coming is — it’s a banger. It’s heavy, catchy — it sticks in your head, for sure. And the record is diverse, just like the last one. It’s experimental and it’s emotional, it’s dynamic. I think even though the experience was different, it has more in common with the last record than not.”

Remember, earlier in the year, singer Jacoby Shaddix was a guest of the Talk Jericho Podcast and said the band’ll have more than an album’s worth of material by the end of this year.

Nailed it.

And Jerry Horton was a guest of Detroit’s WRIF radio station a month back and said a new single will come before their upcoming tour.

“We’ll probably do song by song in a lead-up to putting out a record, but we’re not gonna put the whole record out at once… Because we’re our own label, basically, we don’t have anybody telling us what to do. And I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing, but we’re just gonna try it this way and see how it works. But, yeah, we’ll do singles kind of like how things normally go and then kind of figure it out from there.”

Should you expect any special guest appearances? “Not on this first (single), but we have talked about having a guest or two on a couple of the other ones… We’ve got some things in the works.”

Papa Roach recently worked with eight-time Grammy Award winner Carrie Underwood on a new recording of the band’s song, “Leave A Light On (Talk Away The Dark)”. The official music video was directed and filmed by Bryson Roatch and Jeff Johnson.

Meanwhile, Papa Roach will tour with Rise Against and Underoath on the first North American legs of the “Rise Of The Roach” tour, spring and fall of ’25!

Guess it’s all in the name, eh? You’ll keep seeing music from Papa Roach until they don’t wanna be in the spotlight.

Killer band. And new music is coming.
