On February 15th, Virgin Records release ‘Rain’, the second single to be taken from Creed’s fourth studio album ‘Full Circle’.
This is the band’s first album of new material since the release of Weathered in November 2001 and truly represents the band at its best. ‘Rain’ follows on from debut single ‘Overcome’ and spotlights Creed’s remarkable transformation and welcome comeback onto the rock scene.
After three, multi-platinum albums in 1996’s My Own Prison (6million), 1999’s Human Clay (11 million) and 2001’s Weathered (6 million), the last 2 debuting at #1 on the Billboard Top 200, selling a total of more than 26 million in the US alone, Creed had hit a roadblock and disbanded in a split that left lead singer Scott Stapp on opposite sides to his band mates; Stapp pursuing his solo career, his fellow band mates forming Alter Bridge.
Reconciliation followed a meeting at an Orlando hotel and a decision for Creed to tour with its original line up was made with the reunited band quickly re-entering the studio with noted producer Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, Motorhead, Papa Roach). The result? A renewed sound but with the band’s brand of melodic rock, anthemic choruses and wide-screen canvass simultaneously harking back to the prime and pointing to the future.
‘Rain’ will be released on download format on February 15.
