Rise Against's fifth studio album is currently untitled and in the recording process. It is expected to be released in late 2008/early 2009.[1] This will be the band's third release on a major label, and also their first release with current guitarist Zach Blair.
Each member of the band had mentioned in interviews that Rise Against was expected to record the new album sometime after the end of the The Sufferer & the Witness tour. The band announced on their official website as early as January 2008 that they had begun writing and demoing it. As of May 2008, according to a recent interview with Tim McIlrath and bassist Joe Principe, the band is recording it at The Blasting Room in Fort Collins, Colorado.
[edit] Writing and prodcution
In May 2007, it was reported that Rise Against was planning to return to the studio after The Sufferer & the Witness tour to begin work on their next album.[2]
When asked in July about the band's plans for a new album, Blair told The Punk Site that Rise Against would "start writing and recording the record" after touring and be "writing for a few months" before returning to the studio. He also predicted a summer 2008 release date for the album.[3] In an interview with Principe, he stated recording would likely begin around early 2008, although he said "everything could change", but that was "the plan right now".[4]
On January 7, 2008, it was reported on Rise Against's official website that they had begun work on the new record. The band writes:
| “ | After wrapping up a busy year of touring with the Taste of Chaos, a handful of radio shows and two holiday shows in Canada, we were spent and glad to get home. Presently we are writing and demo-ing for what will become our next record. Don't expect it too soon, we're just getting started early. We will bring the details as they come, we just wanted to check in and say thanks to everyone for another awesome year. | ” |
