Platinum-certified rap rock outfit Hollywood Undead have announced an August 12th release date via BMG for their eighth studio album, “Hotel Kalifornia“. A new song titled “City Of The Dead” accompanies the reveal of this forthcoming album, a lyric video for it has been launched below.
Speaking of the song, vocalist/bassist George “Johnny 3 Tears” Ragan had the following to offer, “‘City Of The Dead‘ is about the dichotomy of Los Angeles where you can accomplish your dreams but also live your nightmare.”
He continued:
“When you listen to ‘Hotel Kalifornia‘, I hope you see how far we’ve come. J-Dog and Charlie Scene are completely different songwriters than they were 15 years ago. I’m so impressed by everyone in the band. The only thing we give a fuck about is the audience and trying to get better on each record.”
Vocalist, etc. Jorel “J-Dog” Decker added, “‘Hotel Kalifornia‘ brings me back to a time when all that mattered was music. The only thing I gave a shit about was going to shows. That was it.”
As for the direction of the album itself, an official press release stated that is represents ‘a juxtaposition between the ‘haves’ and the ‘have-nots’, highlighting the ongoing homelessness and cost of living crisis that is affecting the band’s home state of California.’
