Legendary heavy metal vocalist and pop culture icon DEE SNIDER recently announced the upcoming release of his triumphant fifth full-length album, Leave A Scar, out July 30, 2021 via Napalm Records. Once again produced by Jamey Jasta with co-production, mixing and mastering by drummer Nick Bellmore, Leave A Scar sees DEE SNIDER & Co. continuing in the invigorated, modern direction of his previous release, For The Love Of Metal, infusing a dose of classic heavy metal flavor that longtime fans will rush to embrace.
Today, following the album’s charging first single of resilience, âI Gotta Rock (Again)â (which instantly reached SiriusXM Liquid Metal’s Devil’s Dozen upon release), DEE SNIDER is thrilled to reveal the album’s second single, “Time To Choose”, featuring the brutalizing vocals of Cannibal Corpseâs George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher. Backed by an energetic lyric video, the track blends Corpsegrinderâs eviscerating lows with DEE SNIDERâs razor sharp cleans, making for a dynamic yet ruthless burner listeners wonât soon forget!
DEE SNIDER says about âTime To Chooseâ:
“âTime To Chooseâ deals with a subject I’ve addressed often over the course of my writing career: good vs. evil (see âBurn In Hellâ). Given the heaviness of this track, I felt adding George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher’s voice to this would drive home the seriousness of the choices we make. I was honored when he agreed to contribute his incredibly powerful voice.”

Like a scar itself, Leave A Scar is an illuminating plentitude of angst etched in time â serving as a musical refuge and expressive output for Dee. But in turn, this auditory time capsule written to express the anger, unease and pain he experienced during lockdown emerges as not only blisteringly heavy, but relentlessly powerful. Each of the 12 tracks on Leave A Scar not only further bolster DEE SNIDERâs position as one of the most celebrated frontmen of all time, showcasing that his vocal delivery and commanding swagger is as strong as ever, but that he is nowhere near stopping.
Heads will bang within seconds of the hard-charging opening notes of ultra-catchy album starter and lifer anthem âI Gotta Rock (Again)â, instantly setting the stage for the non-stop onslaught of metallic mainstays to come. Tracks like the brutal âTime To Chooseâ â featuring the primed guest vocal attack of Cannibal Corpseâs George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher â and mosh-ready âThe Reckoningâ showcase the albumâs heavy assault, without sacrificing the harmonic goodness evident on tracks like the unrelenting, hooky thrasher âAll Or Nothing Moreâ and melodic, metalcore inspired âIn For The Killâ. Energetic single of strength âDown But Never Outâ encapsulates the chunky riffage and driving drums palpable throughout the album, while searing âBefore I Goâ provides one of the albumâs most massive, memorable choruses and chilling lyrics. The album closes with victorious ballad âStandâ, a call for listeners to take a stand and make their voices heard. If For The Love Of Metal ignited DEE SNIDERâs eminent surge into a new era â Leave A Scar sets it ablaze.
DEE SNIDER says about Leave A Scar:
âBy the end of 2020, I knew I not only had to get back into the studio, but for the first time since the ’90s, I wanted â no, needed â to be a part of the writing process. I reached out to my producer Jamey Jasta and told him I was ready to make another record. Leave a Scar is filled with messages to and for the silent voices in the world who need someone to speak out on their behalf. This is my purpose.â
Jamey Jasta says regarding working with DEE SNIDER again:
âGetting to work with Dee again has been incredible! The power and range in his vocals on this album really shine. Not only is he an American treasure and staple in the rock/metal community, heâs a truly original voice and talent like no other. Combine that with the metallic prowess of the Bellmore bros + Russell PzĂŒtto and Nick Petrino, you get a rockinâ metal recipe that even the most “Dee-hard” SMFâers will surely love!â
