Comeback Kid have released a new single titled Absolute.
The Canadian outfit teamed up with countryman Devin Townsend for the track, which will feature on their as-yet-untiled next album, which will launch via Nuclear Blast after they signed a new deal with the label.
Comeback Kid vocalist Andrew Neufeld says: “Our new album is going to be the most diverse and interesting record yet in my opinion. There are a few collaborations and we stepped outside of our box and out of our comfort zone a lot on this one.
“I’ve worked with Devin Townsend on another project before so to have him sing on Absolute was awesome for us. I was conjuring up his vocal style when laying down the guide vocals before we knew he was on board for the song. When we asked him to be a part of it, he was open and willing so we thank him for that. He definitely put his unique stamp on it.
“On to the next chapter for Comeback Kid with a new team to help us share our music. We will be starting a new cycle of touring around the world starting this summer. Can’t wait to share what we have been working on.”
As for signing a record deal with Nuclear Blast, Neufeld says he’s delighted to have the band on the label.
He continues: “Like Comeback Kid, Nuclear Blast is a label that focuses its energy globally as they have offices all over the world. That is really exciting for us as a band that prides itself on playing in as many corners of the earth as possible.
“Here in Canada, we are joining up with long-time friends at New Damage/Dine Alone. We have worked closely with them before so we know it will be a great fit and fresh start in our home country.”
