Fozzy have a new album called Judas out for release on October 13th via Century Media. The lead single and title track, "Judas," has been my favorite track the band ever wrote and overall I'm excited to hear the entire album, especially after hearing track #2.
I am a firm believer that while you start strong, you put your best song on the album in the #2 slot. It always cements that your band is truly not one to be fucked with. And turns out, Fozzy's second single off their album is also their second track, "Drinkin with Jesus." Frontman Chris Jericho describes the track as such:
“‘Drinkin With Jesus” is a song we specifically wanted to put second on the record because it quite simply kicks ass! It’s the type of song you crank up with the top down as you’re speeding down the highway at midnight. While ‘Judas” is deep and heavy, ‘Drinkin‘ punches you in the face in a different way. Lyrically, this song is about drinking alone, just hanging out with the Lord and having a few cocktails. It’s got some dark lyrics, but it’s overall a fun song with a great riff and some killer solos. So enjoy and CRANK IT UP!”
Overall, it's a very catchy tune with a super infectious Rich Ward-specialty riff and after a few listens, this earworm will definitely get stuck in your head. It definitely has a late 80s LA metal vibe, where the song would fit right in during a Decline of Western Civilization-like night of debauchery on the Sunset Strip. Take a listen:
