PAPA ROACH’S METAMPORPHOSIS PUSHED TO NEXT YEAR

According to Blabbermouth.net, Papa Roach’s fifth major label album, Metamorphosis, will now be released in March 2009; the CD was tentatively slated to come out this fall.  Frontman Jacoby Shaddix admitted he was a little disappointed, but said it would be worth the wait, “It’s kind of a bummer it can’t come out this year, you know, but it’s like, we want to set it up right, you know, and this record’s just a monster.” As for the record, he commented, “When we got done with it, we sat back and listened to all the cuts and we were just baffled that we wrote this record, you know. And I think what makes it great to us is that it was a challenge.” Metamorphosis will follow up 2006’s The Paramour Sessions. It will mark the recording debut of ex-Unwritten Law drummer Tony Palermo, who replaced founding drummer Dave Buckner; he left the band last year with substance abuse issues.
