Staind to Release "V"

Staind will release their fifth album, appropriately titled Chapter V (Flip/Atlantic), on August 9th. The Boston band plan to debut new songs on a tour with fellow hard rockers 3 Doors Down, Breaking Benjamin and No Address that kicks off June 30th.

Produced and mixed by David Bottrill (Tool, Peter Gabriel), the follow-up to the multi-platinum 14 Shades of Grey features tracks like "Falling" and "Paper Jesus." The first single, "Right Here," can currently be heard on rock radio.

"We really can't wait to get back out on the road and start playing these songs," guitarist Mike Mushok said.
