DOPE has posted three songs from the band's long-awaited fifth album,
"No Regrets", on the group's MySpace page. Check out the tracks
"Addiction",
"No Regrets" and
"Die Boom Bang Burn Fuck" at
this location.
Zakk Wylde (
OZZY OSBOURNE,
BLACK LABEL SOCIETY) lent his signature guitar squeals to
DOPE on the new track
"Addiction".
DOPE has tapped directors
Kevin Custer (
KINGDOM OF SORROW,
TESTAMENT) and
Dale "Rage" Resteghini (
TRIVIUM,
HATEBREED) to helm the videos for the songs
"Addiction" and
"66Sick". The clips were filmed in New Jersey on January 8-10. Prior to the video shoot, the band put out a call for a "bad-ass chopper" and a large boa constrictor or a python to feature in one of the videos.
Vocalist and guitarist
Edsel Dope, alongside
Virus, has revitalized
DOPE's lineup on
"No Regrets". Joining them on bass and backing vocals is
Tripp Tribbet, formerly frontman of
TWISTED METHOD, who also happens to be the younger brother of
MUDVAYNE/
HELLYEAH guitarist
Greg Tribbet. On drums,
DOPE recruited former
GENITORTURERS drummer
Angel Bartolotta.
DOPE will be on tour with
BLACK LABEL SOCIETY and
SEVENDUST all spring long.
DOPE has released four albums since signing with
Epic in 1998, and has sold over 500,000 CDs. Their most recent CD, 2005's
"American Apathy", debuted at #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart as well as #1 on the Billboard Independent Album chart.
