The Offspring’s Noodles sat down with Chaoszine for a new interview and confirmed that their new album will include a thrash metal song.
The rocker discussed the band’s upcoming eleventh album, ‘Supercharged,’ set to release on October 11. While discussing the musical direction the band members want to take, he said:
“Each song is viewed separately. And then once you have a bunch of songs, then you kind of see where the record is going And then you just try to build on that. I don’t think we’ve ever changed that much. We’ve never done a concept record. We never went, ‘All right, we’re done with this punk rock pop stuff. We wanna be metal now.’”
Noodles revealed the name of the metal song and discussed the ‘heaviness’ of it:
“There is at least one song on this record that I would call metal. It’s just thrash metal. It’s called ‘Come To Brazil’… It’s one of the most metal. I don’t know [about] heaviest. We’ve got a lot of heavy punk rock songs as well, but this one’s probably one of the heaviest metal ones for sure. There’s another one too called ‘Get Some,’ which is pretty riff rock, almost metal.”
Why ‘Supercharged’ Took Shorter Time
At last month’s Download festival in the UK, the frontman Bryan Holland talked to Rock Sound magazine about ‘Supercharged.’ He mentioned that the album is coming out just three years after ‘Let The Bad Times Roll.’ The album followed 2012’s ‘Days Go By’ after almost a decade. He explained why the upcoming album took a shorter time than the previous one:
“The last one took a really long time, and I’m not sure exactly what it was, but I think it had a lot to do with that I went back to school and I didn’t realize how much time that was taking. And before you know it, it’s been years and years since you put out a record. And so this time we were, like, ‘We’re determined to get something out more quickly this time.’ So it was, for us, very quick — it was, like, three years… In rock years, like dog years, that’s like three months.”
