German vinyl for Nickelback's new studio album, produced by Robert John ‘Mutte’ Lange of AC/DC - Back In Black, Def Leppard - Pyromania and Hysteria fame!

 

Work on Dark Horse began in March, after Nickelback made its long-awaited contact with Lange. The band traveled to the producer’s home base in Switzerland to begin going over song ideas. The tunes came from a variety of directions; for instance the dynamically swelling “If Today Was Your Last Day”, had been around for awhile but hadn’t been finished. “Chad brought it out of the vault and the creative juices started to flow,” Mike Kroeger notes. Then there’s “This Afternoon”, whose acoustic, rootsy flavor, along with some downright country-style guitar licks represent a refreshing departure from the Nickelback norm. “It’s a big-time part of our background,” Mike Kroeger notes, “that whole laid-back, barroom kind of feel. Where we grew up everybody listened to country. I would say that song’s our ‘Friends In Low Places,’ y’know?”

 

Dark Horse’s other songs -- recorded during the summer at Chad Kroeger’s converted barn studio in Vancouver -- traverse a wide terrain, from the arcing melodic ebb and flow of the first single, “Gotta Be Somebody” and the metallic groove of “Burn It To The Ground” to the heavy riffery of “Something In Your Mouth” and “The Next Go Round” and the inspiring balladry of “You’ll Never Be Alone” and “I’d Come For You”. “We’re a rock band,” Peake says. “We like to get heavy and we do like to write stuff that’s melodic and maybe a little more mellow. It’s nice to have both, and it’s nice to have both accepted by the fans. There are some bands that can only put out one kind of thing, but our fans are pretty open so we don't get stuck in one place.”

 

Mike Kroeger adds that, “I think people expect that level of effort or level of ‘quality’ from us. We don’t pen ourselves into one identity; we’re just trying out new things and doing some things we haven’t done before...and making sure that it’s as good as it can be and the cleanest and most refined version of what we do.”
