Comeback Kid have announced their seventh album.
The follow-up to 2017's 'Outsider' is called 'Heavy Steps' and will arrive on January 21 via Nuclear Blast worldwide, and New Damage Records in Canada.
Written and recorded at Private Ear Recording Studio in the band's originating city of Winnipeg, Manitoba, the record finds the hardcore veterans realigning with producer John Paul Peters, who worked on their debut LP, 'Turn It Around'.
There's also contributions from Grammy Award-winning mixer and longtime fan Will Putney, along with Gojira's Joe Duplantier.
To celebrate the news, the Canadian hardcore veterans have shared the record's title track and its comedic, Kevin Keegan-directed accompanying video. Packed with heavy, aggressive riffs and punky angst, the song follows the previously unveiled cut No Easy Way Out. Vocalist Andrew Neufeld said:
"I think of our new single Heavy Steps as a bold statement of a riff right off the bat, and lyrically coming from an unhinged perspective about tearing through life. Instinct over reason - without even realizing how easily our worlds could implode from under our feet. A bit of a "just test me" type sentiment is being echoed in this song."
They'll support 'Heavy Steps' with a US tour alongside No Warning in December, followed by European and UK dates in 2022. They also play shows in Ontario and Western Canada with Cancer Bats in spring 2022. Tickets are on sale now.
