Interview with Lifer
We had the pleasure of interviewing Lifer over Zoom video!\xa0
After an 18-year hiatus, hard rockers Lifer surprised fans last year when they reemerged with three new songs that even Lead Vocalist Nick Coyle said was a \u201csurreal experience.\u201d Now, the recently-reunited band is back with their fourth track "Hate Me Love Me" that will be part of a forthcoming five-song EP, solidifying the group\u2019s long-awaited resurrection.
Described by Guitarist Aaron Fink as a \u201cmodern hard rock song that blends the old school sounds we grew up with, with a modern approach,\u201d the single veers slightly from the nu-metal music that the band first became known for in the early 2000s, yet still embodies their signature, heavy, melodically-driven sound.
This evolution can be attributed to both Fink and Coyle\u2019s lifetime of experience \u2013 performing together and separately with some of the industry\u2019s biggest bands. In fact, during Lifer\u2019s hiatus in the early to mid-2000s, Fink joined Platinum-selling Breaking Benjamin (2002-2010) and then Gold-selling Earshot (present), while Coyle spent his tenure with his acclaimed indie rock band The Drama Club before joining Gold-selling Cold (2017-present).
After Lifer reunited in 2018, they also added new member bassist Mike Morgan (The Drama Club, Panacea), and Tony Kruszka (originally the DJ for Lifer) moved to drums, helping to diversify the band\u2019s sound and leading many to tout the lineup as the strongest to date. Kruszka and Morgan are featured on all of Lifer\u2019s new material, including \u201cThe Start of Something Else,\u201d \u201cBorn Again,\u201d and \u201cLightning in a Bottle,\u201d which were written, recorded and released during the Pandemic.
Lifer\u2019s forthcoming EP will be their first studio release since their debut, self-titled, full-length album (produced by Alex Lifeson of Rush) through the major label Universal Music and Republic Records in 2001.
