The twelve-tracks on the record all play a pivotal role in defining this significantly new, but nostalgic, chapter of the band.
Amid the album announcement, Neil Sanderson, drummer of Three Days Grace shares "'Alienation' is a journey through inner collapse and outward defiance-The songs reflect isolation as a condition of existence, not just circumstance. Some of what we write about - anxiety, addiction, heartbreak, disconnect, are often a different wave of the same storm. And yet, buried in all the wreckage is something human-still reaching out" (continue)

Acclaimed hard rocker Kurt Deimer just released his debut album "And So It Begins", and to celebrate we asked him to tell us about the hit lead single from the record "Live Or Die". Here is the story:
"Live or Die" was the first single we released, back in February, off of my debut album And So It Begins... (out today, May 9th!) The song was conceived in my brain because I care about all humanity and people and human beings. The state of the way the world is now is scary and I know there's a lot of people that live in fear every day . They're afraid to do things, they're afraid to take chances, they're living very anxiously. That's why we see higher rates of suicide now, more drug addiction, and isolation. The world is just very chaotic. So, I wanted to write this song so that people would feel a sense of encouragement to do the things they wanna do in life. For instance, if you want to climb a mountain, go climb a mountain. Do you want to parachute out of a plane? Then go parachute out of a plane. Do you want to get a degree but you're afraid you can't do it? Go do it! The point is, don't be afraid to live your dreams - the worst thing that could happen to you is you're gonna live or you're gonna die. That's just the basic truth. We only have one life so make the best of that life. Do what you love to do with that life and be the best you can be. We've got one chance and that's why I wrote "Live or Die." I just want people to enjoy their lives and take those chances and live their lives to the fullest. (continue)
