The Pulse of Radio reports that
PAPA ROACH's fifth major label album,
"Metamorphosis", has officially had its release date pushed back from this fall to March of 2009, according to
HardDrive Radio. The CD was tentatively slated to come out either in September or October, although a firm release date had never been established. Frontman
Jacoby Shaddix admitted he was a little disappointed but told
The Pulse of Radio 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," he said. "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". The disc will mark the recording debut with
PAPA ROACH of ex-
UNWRITTEN LAW drummer
Tony Palermo, who replaced founding drummer
Dave Buckner last year after
Buckner went down with substance abuse issues.
One track, called
"Lifeline", was co-written with
