Earlier this week, Jasta posted a clip on Instagram of Snider tracking vocals at an East Coast recording studio.
He also recently revealed on Twitter that former Killsiwitch Engage and current Light The Torch frontman Howard Jones will contribute to the album.
In an interview with Poughkeepsie radio station 101.5 WPDH on October 31, Snider discussed how the new record.
Check it out:
“I decided to do a very aggressive metal record, a true metal record. I start recording the album today for release next spring,” he said. “Jamey is a fan of mine, and I was on his podcast, and he literally challenged me on the air. He said, ‘Dude, you’re iconic. I think you need to do a true metal record.”
Watch Dee Snider talking about the freedom of solo performances:
“Think Rob Halford’s ‘Resurrection’, think in that direction. I go, ‘Well, what do you got in mind?’ He goes, ‘Dude, I will produce it, and I’ve got songs, and I’ve got people stumbling over each other to write a song for Dee Snider.’ Then he just started sending me music. The new stuff is powerful; it’s great; and I’m excited about the next tour, which will start next spring.”
Last Solo Album
Snider’s last solo album, “We Are The Ones”, was released in October 2016 via Red River Records (distributed by BFD/RED). The record was described by Dee as “an album that is think part Foo Fighters, part Imagine Dragons, part Thirty Seconds To. Forget anything from the past. Most of my heavy metal fans are gonna hate it; I’ve abandoned my past to move forward.”
