Sometimes the best way to move forward is to go back to the basics, taking all of the raw energy and emotion of the past and channeling it into the present. This is exactly what Thousand Foot Krutch is doing on the aptly titled The End Is Where We Begin, which releases April 17 and finds Canada’s favorite modern rockers voluntarily walking away from record label life altogether [even after a slew of profitable offers came along] to reignite the passionate DIY work ethos that first emerged over a decade ago.
While waiting for inspiration to arrive and fuel the writing process, TFK‘s front man/songwriter Trevor McNevan popped in the band’s seminal debut, That’s What People Do, which echoed respected rappers like Run-DMC and the Beastie Boys, cross-pollinated with the rhythmic grooves of Red Hot Chili Peppers. Those inspirations return throughout The End Is Where We Begin, alongside the group’s continuously marinating blend of towering choruses, razor-sharp rhythms, epic arrangements and stadium shaking rumbles. Artwork and tracklist can be found below.
“Without trying, this record has a very militant theme to it, with songs like ‘War Of Change‘ and ‘Courtesy Call’ painting more of a visual for that,” states McNevan. “There’s an urgency to it and I think the timing feels right. This record’s heart can be summed up by ‘Be The Change,’ the album’s lyric and phrase seen throughout the album artwork.”
