Staind announce ninth album and release Watch Me Break

Staind have released Watch Me Break and dated their ninth studio album, The Space Between The Darkness And The Light, for March 5, 2027. Alchemy Recordings and BMG will issue the record. The new song is available separately with an official visualizer, while the complete album remains on preorder. The release announcement appeared on November 11.

The ten-song sequence opens with Watch Me Break, followed by 100 Mile Stare, Broken and All Along. October single Ghosts occupies the fifth position, and Get Away closes the record. The earlier single and the newly unveiled song therefore belong to the same forthcoming collection.

Erik Ron returns as producer after working on 2023’s Confessions Of The Fallen. Aaron Lewis, Mike Mushok, Johnny April and Sal Giancarelli made the recording together. In the accompanying announcement, Lewis explained that he finished the opening song last and connected its subject to the music business’s pressure on performers. Below is the official visualizer for the new track, rather than a stream of the unreleased album.
