This past December, STAIND guitarist Mike Mushok joined us on THE LOADED RADIO PODCAST and discussed the musical direction of the new STAIND material, which is set to arrive at some point this year: “It’s a little bit more modernized, I think. I think that was something we kind of wanted to do. There’s a little bit more of an electronic element on there, which is something new for us, but I feel like everybody is kind of doing that. But I think it’s cool. It’s not overused. I think the songs are really good. I’m really happy with it. I can’t wait for people to hear it.”
