July 25th, 2023: Staind’s Return
Last year on this day… Staind was #1 on Billboard’s Active Rock survey with “Lowest In Me,” the lead single from the band’s “Confessions Of The Fallen.”
In ’12, after seven LPs in fourteen years, Staind announced they would be going on hiatus. Lewis then embarked on a solo Country career. Meanwhile, guitarist Mike Mushok joined former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted in Newsted before his stint with Saint Asonia.
After playing festivals in ’14, the band went on hiatus again.
“Confessions Of The Fallen,” the band’s eighth studio effort was their first in twelve years, marking the longest gap between studio albums to date.
“You can certainly recognize the band but at the same time you can hear that we’ve been paying attention and understand what kind of sounds and approaches we can use that maybe weren’t around the last time we did this,” stated Lewis in a press release.
