Papa Roach’s Jacoby Shaddix On New Single “Clickbait”: “It’s The Most ‘Nu Metal’ Song We’ve Ever Written”

During a recent interview with Magenta TV, Papa Roach’s Jacoby Shaddix discussed the band’s upcoming album. The frontman also revealed that one new track, “Clickbait,” is “the most ‘nu metal’ song [they have] ever written.”

Shaddix said the following when asked if the new material is similar to “Even If It Kills Me”:

“So far, kind of that’s where we’re resting. It’s always an adventure when we’re making a record. We just dropped a brand new [song] called ‘Braindead’ that’s, like — it’s almost got like an old-school ‘Infest’-era feel of Papa Roach. And so we’re really kind of dipping into both worlds where some of it’s modern and anthemic and then some of it is just stripped down and raw and classic. And I think that both of those worlds are something that I love about our band, that we can progress, but then we can also embrace some of the core of who we were and where we came from.

We’ve got another track we just finished up called ‘Clickbait’, and it’s the most ‘nu metal’ song we’ve ever written in our career, even from back in 2000. It’s got this vibe about it that’s just — it’s on another level, man. I’m excited for the fans to hear that one.”

He also added the following about album release plans:

“Next year sometime. Probably later next year. I think we’re gonna take our time to release it, but we are gonna continue to release new music. And we have another song coming later this year.”
