Fittingly titled For The Love Of Metal, Snider’s new record sees him working with the likes of Lamb of God, Disturbed, Howard Jones and Alissa White-Gluz. The album will act as the follow-up to 2016’s We Are the Ones, with Snider expected to tour in support of his new music – stay tuned for any news on Australian shows.
Snider shared a video talking about his latest album, kicking things off by addressing concerns that he might be a mythical creature (as you do). “Rumours that I am actually a vampire or a descendant of Vlad the Impaler are grossly exaggerated,” said Snider. “I am Transylvanian, and I do bear a remarkable resemblance. Other than that, no.”
Snider went on to say that For The Love Of Metal is a “record of inspiration” developed from Jamey Jasta challenging Snider to make “a true metal record.” He also noted that when naming the record, “there was only one name … For The Love Of Metal because I’m OG. I’m [an] original metalhead.”
“I hope you love it and enjoy it and appreciate the spirit of it because it’s as genuine as it comes,” added Snider. “It was – I can’t emphasise this enough – this wasn’t for money. It wasn’t for anything other than for the love of metal.”
