STAIND: 'Not Again' Lyric Video Released

July 13, 2011

The lyric video for "Not Again", the new single from Massachusetts rockers STAIND, can be seen below. The song comes off the band's seventh studio album and first full-length release in three years, "Staind", which arrives in stores and at all digital retailers on September 13. Produced by Johnny K known for his work with 3 DOORS DOWN, DISTURBED, and SEVENDUST, not to mention his Grammy Award-nominated collaboration with STAIND, 2008's "The Illusion Of Progress" and mixed by the legendary Chris Lord-Alge, "Staind" stands as STAIND's most intense and powerful work to date.

Singer/songwriter/guitarist Aaron Lewis recent described "Staind" as "the heaviest thing we have recorded in a long time. It's definitely one of the heaviest collections of songs that we have put together."

When asked by Revolver magazine if "Not Again" was an easy song to write or record, STAIND guitarist Mike Mushok said, "There really wasn't anything too difficult about writing or recording this song. The solo was improvised from the demos, and I had to go back and relearn it. The riff is all down picked, which makes it sound heavier, I think. I kind of did that with all the riffs on the record. That hasn't been on a STAIND record in awhile. There's really nothing too complicated about it. However, the record was very difficult to make. There were a lot of things going on that led to this us losing our drummer Jon [Wysocki] during the sessions, Aaron releasing his solo record while we were recording, the deadline that the label put on us to turn in a record that, in conjunction with a ton of other personal stuff, really made for a very difficult process. I have to apologize to my family for having to put up with me during that time. In hindsight, though, I'm really happy with the end results."

"Staind" has already earned advance acclaim from ARTISTdirect, which hailed the album as a "timeless masterpiece," praising Lewis' vocals for "reach(ing) heights that only legends can touch."

01. Not Again
