The electronic element became even more pronounced on PAPA ROACH's
album, F.E.A.R. ("Face Everything and Rise"), which boasted an even more
radio-friendly, industrial-tinged pop-metal sound; it was released on
January 2015. Starting out as a punk- and rap-influenced band, the
northern Californian group Papa Roach eventually grew into a
straight-ahead hard rock ensemble with strong heavy metal leanings.
Consisting of Coby Dick, Jerry Horton, Dave Buckner, and Tobin
Esperance, Papa Roach formed in 1993 and began releasing EPs soon after,
including 1994's Potatoes for Christmas and 1995's C*a Bonita. By 1996,
the group had replaced original bassist Will James with Esperance and
hired a new manager; the following year, Papa Roach released their first
full-length album, Old Friends from Young Years, which became a
surprise hit on local radio. The California rockers recorded the album
in Las Vegas with producer Kevin Churko and his son Kane, known for
their work with Ozzy Osbourne, Five Finger Death Punch, in This Moment
and Hellyeah. Frontman Jacoby Shaddix explained, "We wanted to work with
a producer that worked in that heavier realm and kind of check him out a
little bit." He added, "So there's elements of hard rock, elements of
heavy metal, elements of pop, elements of... it's just all over the
place, man, but it's another classic Papa Roach record. I'm very proud
of it."

The eighth studio album from California's Papa Roach, 2015's F.E.A.R. finds the journeyman hard rock outfit delivering more of its bombastic, high-energy sound. F.E.A.R. was produced by Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne, Five Finger Death Punch) with assistance from his son Kan Churko, and the album's title is an acronym that stands for "Face Everything
And Rise." The dark, aggressive irony behind this sentiment remains
consistent with the angry, angst-ridden tone that the band has been
narrowly hitting for almost two decades, telegraphing from the first
moment of the title track that this is not a record intended to win new
listeners, but it should please longtime fans of the group. Since
breaking out in the late '90s along with a bevy of other nu-metal and
rap-rock bands, Papa Roach
have displayed a surprising amount of staying power. In the mid-2000s,
the group abandoned the rap end of its sound to explore a more
traditional hard rock style. It's an approach they've largely stuck
with, saving their hip-hop inclinations for the occasional album track. But here, Jacoby Shaddix delves headlong into rap on "Gravity," a mid-album standout that also features a strikingly effective guest vocal from In This Moment frontwoman Maria Brink. Elsewhere, Papa Roach
stick to their densely tattooed, heavily compressed guns on such
hard-hitting numbers as "Broken as Me," "Warriors," and "Hope for the
Hopeless," in which Shaddix sings "I'm counting all my bruises/I'm not counting on myself."
Ultimately, it's just this kind of self-flagellating, dark-hued rock
aesthetic that's worked for Papa Roach
for well over a decade, and despite whatever passing styles or trends
in pop music they've ignored in the process, it's a sound that seems to
be working for them. ~ Matt Collar, AllMusic
