In an interview on radio station 101.5 WPDH Dee Snider revealed that he is currently working on a new solo album with Hatebreed’s Jamey Jasta behind the mixing desk. “I decided to do a very aggressive metal record — a true metal record”, said Dee. “I start recording the album today for release next spring. 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. 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.” Note that Dee Snider’s previous solo album “We Are The Ones” was released last year and forced even our own Sakis Nikas to write: “You are expecting a hard rock juggernaut and what you get instead is a worthless pile of modern rock songs combined with pop elements and a pitiful production that not even the average college kid would approve. The songs are somewhere in between Foo Fighters (in its worst edition) and Simple Plan (in a pale version)”. Read the entire review here.
