3 Doors Down release first album in five years

Nadine Rodriguez/Staff Writer

Five studio albums, four extended EPs, twenty-three singles, one video album, and one compilation album, including albums that have peaked in the top 10 on Billboard 200 and won them three Grammy awards is an incredible resume for US rock band 3 Doors Down. Now, the five man ensemble is about to drop their sixth full-length studio album, “Us and the Night.”  This album will be the first studio album since the band’s 2011 album “Time of My Life.”

 

“Us and the Night” was recorded by the group at Rivergate Studios in Nashville, Tennessee with producer Matt Wallace’s guiding hand. Wallace has also worked with the very well-known Maroon 5 and Train, so quality is assured.

One single off the album, available for download to individuals who pre-order the album, “In The Dark,” shows a completely different side of 3 Doors Down compared to their last release mentioned previously, “Time of My Life.” Powerful guitar riffs compliment a striking, sensual chant that reveals a whole new swagger that 3 Doors Down has acquired over the last five years.

The album will consist of 11 tracks and will be released March 11 through Republic Records.

Fans should expect a very busy year from the rock ensemble. With upcoming performances at northern Florida’s very own music festivals Welcome to Rockville and Fort Rock, as well as Carolina Rebellion, a headlining tour soon to be announced, and a new album, the band has truly come back with a vengeance. However, if Florida fans don’t see waiting until the end of April for Welcome to Rockville and Fort Rock pleasurable, 3 Doors Down will be playing on March 20, at Moe’s Southwest Grill in Orlando.
“Us and the Night” definitely appears to be a promising album, the band’s official website claiming that, “…It nods to the spirit of their breakout debut with seasoned songwriting and the biggest and boldest songs of their 16-year career to date.” With such grand promises, veteran and new fans have understandably high expectations that will hopefully be granted.
