The highly acclaimed new STRAPPING YOUNG LAD album, The New Black, had a phenomenal first week at retail debuting at #200 on the Billboard charts. The album is already being hailed as the group’s most ambitious and dynamic offering yet. The group have been annihilating the masses on Ozzfest, and due to the sheer abrasiveness and intensity of their live performances, they quickly became one of the most talked about, must-see-acts of the fest.
In conjunction with Ozzfest, a new video for the track “Wrong Side” was recently shot by renowned director David Brodsky (God Forbid, The Red Chord). Check it out at the link below.

On August 1st, the group will be welcoming James MacDonough (ex-Megadeth, Iced Earth) to their line-up to handle the bass duties for the remaining Ozzfest and offdates. MacDonough will be replacing Byron Stroud only for these remaining shows since Stroud will be hitting the road with Fear Factory.

I WANT Townsend to take a break.
I like the idea of him recharging his batteries for 3 or 4 years and getting p***ed at the world, his life circumstances beyond his control etc......so we get something as unhinged as "City" something as brutal as "SYL" something as schizophrenic as "Alien" and something as lush and diverse as "New Black".
Don't get me wrong City will always be the best but I genuinely adore every SYL release.

it is neither their most ambitious nor is it their most dynamic. their previous release alien was by far their most ambitious and dynamic. i think ozzfest had a lot to do w/ the record sales, oh well, good for them. they've put in the work, they deserve a few $$$ even if it is b/c of the sales of an uninspired album.
