Nickelback releases first singles off new CD

Chad Kroeger

If Nickelback`s upcoming album sounds like the ring is wretched from multiple personality disorder, frontman Chad Kroeger says that`s by design.

"When you mind to this record, it sounds like it could be from 4 different artists," Kroeger said in a telephone interview on Thursday. "We constantly try and do the like thing: We try to do something heavier than we`ve always done, more melodious than we`ve always done, every single time we do this, and I guess we`ve achieved it again.

Nickelback`s seventh album, "Here and Now," is due out Nov. 21. The foremost two singles, "When We Suffer Together" and "Bottoms Up," will debut digitally on the band`s website on Thursday at 7 p.m. EDT; the songs will be usable at online retailers on Monday, the same day the album will be available to pre-order on iTunes.

The multiplatinum, Canadian-based act is known for hits like "You Remind Me" and "Photograph." But while Kroeger says there is thrust on the album that`s "very Nickelback," there are some songs will surprise their fans.

"I guess we`ve tried new things and explored new ideas, and I wish it when people see the songs and people say, `This doesn`t sound like Nickelback, this sounds like something different for you guys,`" he said.

Nickelback`s last album, the triple platinum "Dark Horse," was released in 2008, and the ring went on tour for nearly two days to hold it. Kroeger said he exhausted the final year decompressing: "I spent a lot of sentence in Mexico and I sort of cut loose for a few months there and went a little nuts, blowing off steam."

Kroeger spent lots of Th in the studio; the circle is still finish the record. It comes out the same day his acquaintance and collaborator Chris Daughtry`s band, Daughtry, releases their new album.

Kroeger says there`s no rivalry between the two, though.

"I require them to do really well, I trust they fall out and beat everybody, so that way we can go together and receive a really successful tour," he said.
