Canada’s The Metal Voice recently interviewed Three Days Grace drummer, Neil Sanderson. Watch the video below.
When asked about the musical direction of their upcoming new album, when comparing it to the first single, “Mayday”, Sanderson reveals, “The rest of the record, we have a lot of really heavy moments. We do love sort of down tempo heaviness. I mean, we listen to a lot of Pantera and stuff like that, and that is contrasted with some songs that I think are really going to bring out the emotion, because they’re emotional to us. And I think that’s the strongest connection with Three Days Grace and our fans, is that we’re writing from the heart and from the gut and deep down in the psyche and putting it out into song. And when people can relate to that and see their own lives in that music, then that’s the most powerful thing you can have as an artist. So there’s a lot of that where we stay true to ourselves and we’re not afraid to write about the real deep down stuff. And that seems to always resonate with our fans because it’s coming from a real place.”
What about a release date? “It’s looking like we’re gonna be releasing it in June (2025). We’re just putting the final touches on it… We’re past the recording stage. We’re doing some mixing right now and just doing some finessing, just kind of going over (everything). Some of the times we’ll go back to it and just see like what we can mute, what we can remove. Sometimes that’s an exercise in making a record that’s good because sometimes you just have too much stuff in there and more isn’t always better. So we kind of go through, at this process, and just make sure that every part in there is deliberate and is there for a reason and is making the song better. If not, it’s gone.”
