Adam Bettcher, Getty Images / Trapt Official You’ve got to be tough physically as well as mentally to play the game of football and our next Loudwire Rock Bowl first round matchup pits songs from two bands that embrace that mindset. Disturbed ‘s ‘Indestructible’ squares off against Trapt ‘s ‘Headstrong.’ Disturbed’s ‘Indestructible’ is definitely a motivational track, with David Draiman singing about having to “carry the colors again” in honor of an oath he’s sworn to defend. Meanwhile, the song discusses an inner strength that has emerged, thus making them “an indestructible master of war.” This song about going to battle embraces the team spirit and self-motivation as well as just about any track in our competition. Trapt, meanwhile, are also up to fighting the good fight with their anthem ‘Headstrong.’ As the track says, “ Back off, I’ll take you on / Headstrong, to take on anyone .” This song about mental toughness and not stepping down from a fight is perfect for the mindset of an NFL player. It’s also a solid choice to square off against Disturbed in round one of the 2013 Loudwire Rock Bowl. So which track will be advancing? That’s for you to decide.

November 6th, 2012 Metalkult Epochal Artists / EMI Trapt are ramping up to their upcoming ‘ Reborn ‘ album with the in-your-face new single ‘Bring It,’ and they’re teaming with Loudwire to bring you the exclusive premiere of the video for the track. In the clip, the band plays against the backdrop of two female fighters going head-to-head in the ring, setting the perfect mood for a high-energy beat down. Of the track itself, singer Chris Taylor Brown tells us, “‘Bring It’ is a song that goes out to all the people in the world who have ever told you that ‘you can’t’ do this or ‘can’t’ do that. It is basically a f— you to anyone who doubts you. This song is about overcoming all the naysayers/haters you have in your life and the fact that we all need to prove these people wrong — those people who try and bring us down to their level. This song is about rising above criticism and persevering against all odds.” Brown also digs into the video itself, explaining, “The video basically shows the underdog taking on an arrogant champion, when no one else wanted to step up to her. She takes the champ’s s— everyday at the gym she works and trains at. When it is time to prove to everyone that she is the best out there, she does so, when everyone in her life told her she wouldn’t amount to anything. It was a blast to shoot watching the two chicks go at it for hours, they really knew how to fight. I wouldn’t want to get in the ring with those chicks, ha. It was also surreal to shoot a performance inside an octagon. I love MMA, I think it’s one of the best sports out there and to kick some ass playing ‘Bring It’ inside that octagon was a huge adrenaline rush. It was definitely one of the most fun videos we’ve ever done!” ‘Bring It’ is featured on the ‘Reborn’ album, which drops Jan. 22, and is currently available for pre-order at the band’s website . The first 500 people to pre-order via the website will receive an autographed copy of the album. There are also bundle options available that include the autographed CD, an exclusive t-shirt, and the download of the songs ‘Bring It,’ ‘Love Hate Relationship’ and ‘Live Wire.’ Watch Trapt’s ‘Bring It’ Video [button href=”http://loudwire.com/trapt-new-album-reborn-fall-2012-tour/” title=”Next: See Trapt’s Fall 2012 Tour Dates” align=”center”]

October 28th, 2012 Metalkult Amanda Edwards, Getty Images Trapt had the best of intentions to get fans new music before the end of the year, but they’ve decided to push the ‘ Reborn ‘ collection to a Jan. 22 street date. The disc was initially slated for a Nov. 20 release, but both Amazon and Alternative Addiction note the album release change. The band signed with Epochal Artist Records, and will be releasing the album in association with EMI. The disc is expected to arrive in both standard and deluxe editions, with the latter package including five acoustic versions of songs on the album, plus the previously unreleased fan-favorite track ‘Avelyn.’ Singer Chris Taylor Brown played a large role in the recording of the album, serving as co-producer on the disc with Matt Thorne. He says of the effort, “This record is really a new sound for Trapt. With ‘Reborn’ we really wanted to use new sounds and textures as well as experiment with other techniques we have learned over the years or have heard in our influences. Lyrically, this album is as deep and thoughtful as any album that Trapt has done in the past.” The group is definitely psyched about the single, ‘Bring It,’ and recently shot a video for the song. Photos from the video shoot can be seen here and here . The band knocked out two videos at once, with ‘Love Hate Relationship’ also getting the treatment. Both songs are currently available as a double-single bundle at iTunes . The group is currently out on tour starting to build the buzz for their new record. Their current trek runs through the end of November.
