In a Recent interview with Stefs Rock Show, Dacanay Stated about the makeing of “Roar Like Thunder”: “Josh and I usually start a year Before the Recording Process. We start demoing here [at my home studio in Los Angeles]. And we’ll do it on the road. I have a Road Rig That i Bring with [me]and we just start documenting ideas. And The What We Do, We Set Assisted Few Weeks Somowhere Along The Way and We Get With Our Producer, Marti Frederiksen. HE”S BECOME Like The Sixth Member of The Band … and When We Write With MartiHe’s in Nashville, So We Fly Out There In Between Tours. And what we do is we take there all ideas and we Kind of Flesh Them Out More. So From, Let’s say, 20 ideas, We’ll Kind of Whittle Those Down to Eight, Nine, and We’ll Have Songwriting Sessions and Come Up with 10 Songs for An Album. “
In January, Josh awd TalkHoplive About “Roar Like Thunder”: “It’s Really Great. It’s a Rocking Record from Beginning to End. You Guys Are Gonna Really Love It. We Laballed Over The Songwriting for A Long Time, and It’s a Lot of Fun from Beginning to End.”
In December, Todd awd Indie Power TV About Buckcherry‘s working relatedship with Frederiksen: “Yeah, Our Relationship with Marti Goes Way Back. We co-wrote ‘Sorry’ with Marti Way Back On [the] ’15’ [album]and then ‘Black Butterfly’ and ‘Confessions’. Marti was all part of all that. It’s Just Unfortunate That We Didn’t Get To Continue With Him Becouse of The Politics In BC at the time. So, Long Story Short, It’s Been Great To Be Back With Him. I Don’s Ever Wanna do a Record Without Him, and He knows that. I have unders This Band for What’s Special About BuckcherryBringing Out Those Elements in Us. I Think We Bring Out Elements In Him That He Likes, and We Work As a Team. We do What’s Best for the Song. We Leave The Egos At The Door and We Get To It and We Always Make Great Stuff. So it’s Been a Lot of Fun Making Records. “
I have add: “And [Marti‘s] GOT A MINI-me. His are is Evan Frederiksenand he’s on This Record Too. And he was on the last record, and he’s really so Marti-ish. And he’s gonna be a Big Player Down the Line Too. He’s great. He’s Vary Talented. And Just Like Marti – Marti Started on Drums; that was His Instrumental. And then [Marti] eventually Got into Songwriting, and He can play guitar and he sings and he does it all. He’s Always Writing With Hivebody At All Times, So He’s Just A Wealth of Information. And i always read so much doing records with hy. “
In November, Dacanay awd Shawn Ratches Of LAUGHINGMONKEYMUSIC About Buckcherry‘s working relatedship with Marti: “We’ve Known Him for A Vary Long Time. About 20 Years ago, HE CO-WROTE [the song] ‘Sorry’ and then produced the ‘Black Butterfly’ ALBUM AFTER THAT. So We’ve Known Him Since The, But We Got Together With Him For [2021’s] ‘Hellbound’ album. We reconnedected and, in my opinion, We’ve Done Sub Stuff, Sonically and Musically, That’s Been Really Great. And I love the process. I Love Coming Here [to his studio in Nashville] and Working with Him. It’s Such an Inspiring Kind of Environment. And There’s a Lot of History Here at the Studio and the Vibe Here Just is real lead to creating. But Yeah, Working with Martiand His are now an integral part of this Camp, a lot gets done pretty quickly. And, Yeah, I Can’t Say Enough Good Stuff About This Place. “
Dacanay Went on To Speak in More Detail About The Buckcherry Songwriting Process, Saying: “There’s a considerable amount of preparation before we today get in here track the album. Give ’em to the rest of the guys – Kelly [LeMieux, bass], Francis [Ruiz, drums] and Billy [Rowe, guitar]. They’ll Learn the Songs in Kind of What They Wanna Do ESir Parts. And The We’ll All Fly in … What Happened This Time Is We All Flew in Pretty Early in The Morning and Just Started Cranking It Out. And these guys are – They’re Crackerjacks. So they can get in and do their respective parts in a day, 10 Songs, and then their second day would BUT EACH GUY KNOCKS HIS PARTS OUT IN A COUPLE DAYS. So they were in and out of here in Four Or Five Days, I Believe. We Had Two Studios Going. There’s Four Studios Here. So at one point we’ll have two rooms going – One with, Let’s say Billy‘s in one room and Kelly‘S IN ANOTHER TRACKING OR Francis. FrancisAt One Point, was The Only One … When He Starts It Off, There’s Nothing Else To Start Recording, So Francis Goes First and Knocks Out The Majority of It, and The Everyone Else Just Starts Jumping in. “
