Staind recently announced they will release a new album, titled Confessions of the Fallen, this year and also shared the record's lead single, Lowest In Me.
The song is the first new music from the band since the release of their self-titled seventh album, which arrived in 2011.
"Everybody has got people in their lives that don't bring out the good in somebody," singer Aaron Lewis told Billboard of the song. "Just with what's going on in the world right now, there's so many things, so many people that are like, 'You bring out the lowest in me.' There's a lot of factors out there that could fall under the 'you' category."
"There's a lot of that [on the upcoming album], for sure. It's definitely different, though," guitarist Mike Mushok told Loudwire Nights host Chuck Armstrong ahead of the song's release. "One thing that Aaron wanted to experiment with... He had a programmer that he had worked with and he had brought a few of the ideas to him and those guys took what the songs were and kind of interpreted them with more electronic elements in them."
"When we finally got [our producer], he helped expand that even further," he continued. "Although there's not a lot of that in this song, there are some other songs that have more of an electronic element to them. A lot of that is like a guitar part I wrote played on a synthesizer, so it's not so far removed—it's just different textures and different sounds."
The 10-track Confessions of the Fallen will arrive in September via Alchemy Recordings/BMG.
