As Finger Eleven launched their brand-new track, “Adrenaline,” forward of their subsequent full-length album — what will likely be their first in a decade — frontman Scott Anderson joined Loudwire Nights to open up about simply how glad he is been currently.

“It’s got a bit of an edge, but it doesn’t have the angst that early-2000s Finger Eleven had,” Anderson instructed host Chuck Armstrong in regards to the new track.

“My goal was to try to harness some energy without any negativity attached to it. I can’t hold onto that.”

Anderson admitted he thought it could be disingenuous to manufacture some type of anger or angst on the band’s new music, however even with out darkness driving the songwriting, he and the band got here up with a robust, heavy expertise in “Adrenaline.”

“I’m a happier person, but hard music, if you can sort of figure out how to deliver it without [negativity], that’s a good thing.”

Scott Anderson’s Life-Changing Experience

For many, the previous couple of years may have pushed them deeper into angst and frustration, however Anderson had a life-changing expertise simply forward of the worldwide pandemic.

“I had a little baby boy,” he stated, smiling.

“That time was a very silver lining, you know … I came out of the pandemic with a different point of view … I try to really have a blank canvas, but the only mission statement is try not to be negative. That’s the only mission statement.”
