NICKELBACK is currently in the studio putting the finishing touches on their ninth album, “Feed The Machine” (BMG)¸ set for release on Friday, June 9. Written by NICKELBACK and co-produced with Chris Baseford (SLASH, SHINEDOWN), “Feed The Machine” is a defiant rock anthem featuring blistering guitar riffs and face-melting rhythm tracks. Watch the lyric video for it below.

In June 2015, NICKELBACK canceled the majority of its tour dates in support of the band’s eighth album, “No Fixed Address”, so that singer Chad Kroeger could recover from surgery to remove a cyst on his vocal cords.

NICKELBACK filed a $13 million insurance claim with Lloyd’s of London after scrapping the tour. But Lloyd’s sued to cancel the singer’s insurance, alleging that Kroeger already had the throat condition and failed to disclose it before taking out the policy.

Last year, NICKELBACK countersued Lloyd’s, claiming that the firm is making false allegations about the band so that it doesn’t have to pay out the claim.

“No Fixed Address” debuted at No. 4 on The Billboard 200 album chart in November 2014.
