Staind Completes New Studio Album, Targets 2027 Release
Staind has officially announced that they have completed their upcoming ninth studio album, set for release in early 2027. The band made this exciting revelation during their performance at the Sonic Temple festival in Columbus, Ohio. Guitarist Mike Mushok shared the good news, confirming that the follow-up to their 2023 album, “Confessions Of The Fallen,” is already finished and ready for fans to hear.
While fans may have to wait until 2027 to get their hands on the new album, it’s clear that Staind is wasting no time in delivering new music. Their previous album, “Confessions Of The Fallen,” marked a creative shift for the band, incorporating more electronic elements into their emotionally charged sound. Mushok hinted that the upcoming record will continue in this direction, with new music already in the works that follows a similar vein.
The band’s frontman, Aaron Lewis, has been instrumental in pushing Staind towards a more contemporary sound, with producer Erik Ron helping to bring this vision to life in the studio. This blending of the band’s signature style with fresh experimentation has been well-received by fans and critics alike.
In addition to working on their new album, Staind is gearing up for the Break The Cycle 25th Anniversary Tour, scheduled to take place across the US and Canada later this year. The tour will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the band’s landmark 2001 release, which saw them rise to mainstream rock stardom with hits like “It’s Been Awhile.” This tour will feature other popular bands like Seether, Hoobastank, and Hinder.
Staind’s last album, “Confessions Of The Fallen,” proved that the band still has what it takes to dominate the charts, debuting at No.1 on Billboard’s Active Rock Album chart. Singles like “Lowest In Me” and “Here And Now” also performed well on Active Rock radio, showcasing the band’s enduring appeal.
With the promise of new music that builds on their past success while embracing new sonic territories, fans can expect big things from Staind in 2027. If the band continues to explore electronic experimentation as hinted by Mushok, the upcoming album could signify another significant chapter in Staind’s musical journey.
