Every Time I Die on new album: "It sounds like a different band"

Every Time I Die will be releasing their sixth studio album next year.

The Buffalo band teamed up with producer Joe Barresi for the new output, which was recorded in Pasadena, California.

Chatting to AltPress, frontman Keith Buckley opened up about the new release, which features new drummer Ryan Leger behind the kit.

"It sounds like a different band; it sounds like it's got a lot more energy to it, a lot more aggression," says Keith about the new record. "[Ryan's] just a better drummer. You can tell there's new vitality, which we haven't had in a long time."

Lyrically, Keith explains that the new release will take on some new ideas: "This time it was definitely forget everything I had done before and come from a different place," he says. "I started meditating a lot, and it changed the way I looked at things and helped me make peace with a lot of stuff, so I feel like I'm drawing from a deeper well."

"Reading the lyrics this time and listening to the music, people can tell this is a band that, after the sixth album, is just starting to hit its stride," says Keith. "You can definitely tell by listening to this one we're in it for us this time."
