On tracks “Fallen Angel” and “The Real You”, the band attempts at delivering power ballads and mostly succeed, if not for a few moments that stop them from achieving the effect that songs like “Never Too Late” have. When this album works, tracks like those mentioned before make an enjoyable fun for the listener. Walst has done excellent training to add grit to his voice, and this pays off on tracks like “I am Machine”, “Tell Me Why”, and “Painkiller”. Walst brings a different type of dynamic to the songs that are presented here, leaning more towards pumped up and “wreak-everything-and-live-your-life” theme that is present on bands like Adelitas Way.Īs for the album?

After Adam Gontier’s departure in 2013, many fans exploded against the decision to have Matt Walst (My Darkest Days frontman) as his replacement. Tickets for all shows are on sale now here.By now there’s no doubt “Human” is the album that will define Three Days Grace as the kind of band they want to be. Black Veil Brides, Motionless in White, Ice Nine Kills, and Lilith Czar will support Three Days Grace on select dates, and the band will support Godsmack in Tampa, Orlando, Newark, Worcester, Milwaukee, and Minneapolis. The band have recently confirmed tour dates throughout April and May of 2022 in cities including Charleston, Cincinnati, and Madison. Listen to “So Called Life” here and watch the music video below: That along with different lens distortions and attachments just added to the diversity of shots.”

I didn’t want to go for a clean and super polished look so Justin Jones, my DP suggested these rehoused 1960’s Japanese lenses for a grittier more contrasty feel.

A bunch of old analog gear in this 70’s apartment that looked like some hoarder died in it 20 years ago and the guys just came in and recorded. Something high energy with extreme angles and fast movements. The new song is accompanied by a music video directed by Jon Vulpine, who reveals: “I wanted to make this video really raw and stripped down.
