„Wir Haben Das Studio Mit Leeren Händen Betreten Die US-amerikanische Rockband Papa Roach veröffentlicht im Januar ihr mittlerweile achtes Studioalbum. „Wir haben das Studio mit leeren Händen betreten" Neues Papa Roach-Album erscheint im Januar 2015 05. Dezember 2014, Von: Redaktion, Foto(s): Promo/Pressefreigabe „F.E.A.R.“ heißt das mittlerweile achte Studioalbum der US-amerikanischen Rockband Papa Roach, das am 23. Januar 2015 als CD, Vinyl und Download veröffentlicht wird. Als Special Guests sind Royce Da 5`9“ & Maria Brink / In This Moment vertreten. Vom Titelsong kann man sich bereits vorab einen ersten Eindruck im Rockpalast Livemitschnitt der Kölner Papa Roach-Show Ende letzten Oktobers machen (Link siehe Infokasten). Manchmal ist Angst der beste Antrieb: Sie treibt einen ins Unbekannte, schärft die Sinne und erinnert daran, dass man lebendig ist. Daran dachten auch die US-Rocker Papa Roach, als sie ihr mittlerweile achtes Studioalbum aufnahmen, das auf den Namen „F.E.A.R.“ getauft wurde. Der Sound des neuen Albums wird als eine „markante Mischung aus massiven Riffs und energetischen Rhythmen“ beschrieben, gepaart mit „kopfkinohaften Elektronik-Elementen“. Der Titel „F.E.A.R.“ steht nicht nur für „fear“ - also das englische Wort für „Angst“ - sondern für „Face Everything And Rise“. Fast zwei Jahre tourten Papa Roach mit dem Vorgängeralbum „The Connection“ durch die Welt und entschieden sich schließlich, an ihr neues Album komplett anders heranzugehen, als an die Alben zuvor. Für die Aufnahmen zu „F.E.A.R.“ zog sich die Band nach Las Vegas zurück, wo sie das Album in den The Hideout-Studios aufnahmen. „Wir wollten die Dinge diesmal einfach anders angehen“, erklärt Bassist Tobin. „Wir haben uns entschieden, mit jemandem zu arbeiten, mit dem wir bisher noch nicht gearbeitet hatten. An einem Ort, an dem wir bisher noch nicht gelebt hatten, aus dem Nichts neue Songs zu schreiben und einfach ein bisschen Spaß zu haben.“ 05. Dezember 2014 1/2 © Rockszene.de 2021 Zum ersten Mal seit den Aufnahmen zum 2006 erschienenen Album „The Paramour Sessions“ lebten die Bandmitglieder zusammen unter einem Dach, um die Songs zu schreiben und aufzunehmen. „Normalerweise haben wir vor den Studioaufnahmen schon eine ganze Menge Demos parat. Und auch ich habe eine Tasche voller Texte, die nur darauf warten, vertont zu werden“, so Frontmann Jacoby. „Das war diesmal völlig anders. Während wir mit „The Connection“ auf Tour waren, habe ich mich eigentlich nur darauf konzentriert, irgendwie mein Leben zusammen zu halten. Immer, wenn ich bisher auf Tour gegangen bin, habe ich mein Zuhause als jemand verlassen, der total mit sich im Reinen war und bin jedes Mal als wandelndes Chaos zurückgekehrt. Das Tourleben hat mich jedes Mal komplett fertig gemacht. Dieses Mal habe ich mich ganz bewusst darauf konzentriert, meine Beziehungen intakt zu halten, nüchtern zu bleiben und mir auch irgendwie meine geistige Gesundheit zu erhalten. Um ehrlich zu sein, habe ich dabei absolut keine Zeit gehabt, auch noch neue Texte zu schreiben.“ „Wir haben das Studio mit buchstäblich leeren Händen betreten“, ergänzt Gitarrist Jerry. „Irgendwie war es ein beängstigendes Gefühl, weil es so neu für uns war. Aber auf der anderen Seite war es auch eine sehr befreiende Sache.“ Des Weiteren können Papa Roach 2015 auch das 15. Release-Jubiläum ihres dreifach-Platin-Debüts „Infest“ feiern, mit dem das Quartett im Jahre 2000 seinen heutigen Kultstatus begründete. „Ich bin extrem stolz auf diese Platte“, sagt Tobin. „Alle Stücke darauf waren absolut anders; sowohl, was den Stil, als auch den Vibe angeht. Einfache, harte Gitarren mit einem dreckigen HipHop-Vibe. Uns ist es irgendwie gelungen, diese Ecken und Kanten einzufangen. Ich glaube, dieser Street-Vibe ist ziemlich badass...“ „F.E.A.R.“ erscheint in Deutschland am 23. Januar 2015 als CD, Vinyl und im digitalen Format.

    STONE SOUR 29. November 2012 Ludwigsburg Arena Ludwigsburg Special Guest: PAPA ROACH Mit STONE SOUR und PAPA ROACH besuchen gleich zwei Speerspitzen des US- amerikanischen Rockzirkus die deutschen Clubs, um an fünf Abenden die Wände zum Wackeln zu bringen. Beide Formationen bringen zu ihrer Tournee im November/Dezember ein neues Album mit: PAPA ROACH veröffentlichen Anfang Oktober ihr siebtes Album „The Connection“, mit dem sie ihren bislang mehr als 15 Millionen verkauften Alben viele weitere hinzu fügen werden. STONE SOUR, die Band um Slipknot-Sänger Corey Taylor, planen sogar eine Doppelveröffentlichung: der erste Teil ihres neuen Konzeptalbums „House of Gold and Bones“ ist ebenfalls für Oktober angekündigt, der zweite Teil folgt sodann im Frühjahr 2013. Zwischen dem 29. November und dem 6. Dezember stellen beide Bands diese neuen Songs im Rahmen von fünf Shows in Ludwigsburg, München, Offenbach, Berlin und Oberhausen dem deutschen Publikum vor. PAPA ROACH entstanden mitten in der aufkeimenden NuMetal-Welle Mitte der 90er-Jahre. Geschult im Crossover, bot die Band von Anfang an einen aufregenden Mix zwischen Metal, Alternative, Post Grunge, Hard Rock und toughen Raps an, der für die damalige Szene recht neu war. Nach einem Achtungserfolg ihres Debütalbums „Old Friends From Young Years“ gelang ihnen mit dem 2000 veröffentlichten, zweiten Album „Infest“ der internationale Durchbruch. Allein in den USA erhielt das Werk dreifach Platin und stieg auch in Deutschland in die Top 5 der Albumcharts. Mit den Folgewerken „Lovehatetragedy“ (2002) und „Getting Away With Murder“ (2004) manifestierten sie ihre internationalen Erfolge. Seit ihrem fünften Album „The Paramour Sessions“ von 2006 wandelte sich der Stil von Jacoby Shaddix (Gesang), Jerry Horton (Gitarre), Tobin Esperance (Bass) und Dave Bruckner (Drums): Die Raps verschwanden, der Sound tendierte stärker Richtung Alternative Rock und ließ die Metal-Elemente langsam verschwinden.

  • The Sacramento Bee
    The Sacramento Bee Sacramento Bee, The (CA) December 15, 2008 Ex-Papa Roach member sues band Author: Carlos Alcala [email protected] Edition: METRO FINAL Section: LIVING HERE Page: D1 Article Text: David Buckner, the founding drummer of the hit band Papa Roach, is suing to dissolve the hard-rock group, which started in Vacaville and later called Sacramento its home base. The band fired Buckner around Christmas 2007. Buckner filed suit in Sacramento Superior Court last week to recoup hundreds of thousands of dollars to which he says he's entitled. Buckner would not speak for the record, but his San Francisco lawyer, David M. Given, issued a statement in which Buckner explained his motivations. "It bums me out that it had to come to this," the release quotes Buckner, who lives in Sacramento. "These guys were my soul mates. But I need to protect myself and my rights." Papa Roach formed after Buckner met frontman Jacoby Shaddix in Vacaville in 1993. Calls to Shaddix's home and the office of Papa Roach's publicist were not returned by deadline. The suit accuses the remaining band members -- Shaddix, guitarist Jerry Horton and bassist Tobin Esperance -- of using up assets to Buckner's detriment, sometimes borrowing against assets to finance their touring lifestyle. Also named are Universal Music Group and Cherry Lane! Music Publishing. In the release, Buckner said his ex-bandmates were "acting like rich rock stars on some ego trip." In addition to back royalties, the suit asks the court for dissolution of the band and a variety of property, music and touring companies formed by its members.
