"Explosions," the seventh studio album from Canadian rock powerhouses Three Days Grace, is a high-octane journey through the raw and unfiltered realities of modern life. Released on May 6, 2022, via RCA Records, this post-grunge masterpiece is a testament to the band's enduring relevance and musical prowess. With a runtime of just 37 minutes, "Explosions" packs a punch, delivering 12 tracks of intense, hard-hitting rock that will leave you breathless.
Produced by the legendary Howard Benson and the band themselves, "Explosions" is the third album to feature Matt Walst on lead vocals, and it marks a significant milestone as the last recording by Three Days Grace as a quartet before the return of founding vocalist Adam Gontier in 2024. The album opens with the explosive title track, "So Called Life," setting the tone for the intense, introspective journey that follows. Standout tracks like "I Am The Weapon," "Neurotic" (featuring Lukas Rossi), and "Someone To Talk To" (with Apocalyptica) showcase the band's signature blend of heavy riffs, soaring vocals, and thought-provoking lyrics.
"Explosions" is not just another rock album; it's a bold statement from a band that has consistently pushed the boundaries of their genre. With its relentless energy and unapologetic honesty, this album is a call to arms for anyone who has ever felt the weight of the world on their shoulders. So crank up the volume, let the music take control, and prepare to be blown away by the explosive power of Three Days Grace.
