Suicidal Tendencies has released a new single called ‘Nós Somos Família.’ The single is a revamped version of their late 1990s song ‘We Are Family,’ and is also the first studio work with the former Slipknot drummer Jay Weinberg.
The song was recorded at Estúdio Central in São Paulo, Brazil, and was executive produced by Suicidal Tendencies’ longtime collaborator Alex Palaia. British producer Paul Northfield and Brazilian sound engineer Rico Manzano also worked on the project.
Weinberg joined Suicidal Tendencies in early March of this year and performed his first shows with the band on March 14 in Osaka and March 16 in Chiba.
Weinberg Wants To Make An Album
Suicidal Tendencies released their latest album ‘Still Cyco Punk After All These Years’ in 2018 on Suicidal Records. It’s a reworking of Mike Muir’s 1996 solo album ‘Lost My Brain! (Once Again)’ and features the original Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo.
Now that Weinberg is in the band, it appears that he wants to make a new album with the band. During a press conference at last month’s Hellfest in France, Mike Muir was asked if he and his bandmates had any plans to create new music. He explained:
“One of the first things Jay did after we did a couple shows, he’s just, like, going, ‘Dude, I wanna f*cking make a record.’ And the way he and Ben, they said it, they go, like… Ben was, like, ‘When I was 12 years old and I heard Suicidal, it spoke to me. And other music, I heard a lot of music.’ He goes, ‘I wanna do a record like that.’ And that’s exactly what Jay said. Obviously, having [bassist] Tye [Trujillo], Robert’s [Trujillo] a son in there, Robert’s, like, ‘Dude, you guys need to make a record. do that thing.’ And so I think that we’re definitely leaning towards doing it.”
