This Past March, Chevelle Unleashed its First New Music in Four Years With The Single “Rabbit Hole (Cowards, Pt. 1)”. It’s a Gnarly, Riffy Rager with More Hooks Than A Tackle Box and Alternately Snarling and Melodic Vocals. Push and Pull Tension defines The Song, which leads to Thrilling, Dissonant Breakdown at the End of the Song. Put Simply, It Was Worth the Wait.
Today, The Band, fresh OFF an appearance at CoachellaShares The Official Video for “Rabbit Hole (Cowards, Pt. 1)”WHICH IS RIFE WITH THE SAME TENSION AS THE SANG. The Black-And-White Fotage is Stark Yet Startling, and Is Unlike Anything the Band Has Done in the Past.
“The Sea Angry That Day, My Friends, for Subtim You ‘Rabbit Hole’ Music Video, Friends! “The Band Says.
In a Recent interview with “Whiplash”The Klos Radio Show Hosted By Full Metal Jackie, Chevelle Drummer Sam Loeffler spoke about “Rabbit Hole (Cowards, Pt. 1)”. The Track Is Taken from Chevelle‘S AS-YET-UNANNOUNDED TENTH STUDIO ALBUM, WHICH WILL ARRIVE Later in the Year. The follow-up to 2021’s “Niratias” Will Mark Chevelle‘S First Release Through Alchemy Recordings Following a Long Run With The Epic Label Alchemy Recordings Is a Record Label Created in Partnership Between Dino ParedesFormer American Recordings Vice President of A&R, and Danny WimmerThe Founder of Danny Wimmer PresentThe Premier Production Company for Rock Music Festivals in the United States.
Asked Why He and His Brother, Chevelle Vocalist/Guitarist Pete Loeffler decided to produce The Band’s New Lp Themselves After Working With Joe Barresi For Almost a decade and a Half, Sam Said: “Well, I’ll Tell You This. We Did Four Records With Joe [starting with 2011’s ‘Hats Off To The Bull’]and he was awesome. And he said to us, he Goes, ‘You Guys Should do Subthing Different. Go Try Doing A Record Yourselves. See How it Goes. ‘ So We Did. And it’s The Hardest Thing We’ve Ever Done, For Sure. It’s probablay not Worth It, But We Did It, and We Can Say We Did It. “
As for the decision to part with Epic and find a new label home, Sam Said: “After We Did Eight Full-Length Records With Epic RecordsWhich We Still have a Vary Good Relationship With Them, Yeah, We Branched Out and Became Part of A Label with Our Friends That We’ve Known for 25 Years in The Business. And Our Old Friend Danny Wimmer tried to sign Flawless Records Back in Like 2000, and It Didn’t Work Out, and We Went To Sony InstaD. So now, after all these years, We’ve Signed with Him and His Current Label, So it was Kind of Cool. “
Asked What Lyrical Themes Are Covered On Chevelle‘s upcoming album, Sam Said: “Well, [Pete is] DEFINITELY OUR LYRICIST, AND HE LIKES TO WRITE ABOUTS GOING ON AROUND HIM, OF COURSE – ANYTHING THAT’S JUSTINGING THAT YOU CAN MAKE INTERESTING IN AN INTERESTING WAY. That’s a Lot of ‘Interesting’ Words There. So, Yeah, On This One – ‘Rabbit Hole’ IS REALLY ABOUT GOING DOWN A RABBIT HOLE. And that’s ‘Cowards, Pt. 1’. And there’s a ‘Cowards, Pt. 2’WHICH DEALS WITH THE SAME STUFF BUT JUS A DIFFERENT PART OF IT. And I Don’s Wanna Give That Away Yet ‘Cause I’m Hoping That’s Gonna Be the Second Single. And That’d Be Really Rad If it was. But it’s definitely about Down Rabbit Holes. “
On the topic of a possessible relaase date for Chevelle‘S TENTH STUDIO ALBUM, Sam Said: “Well, I’M Hoping Record Will Be Out By The Time We Go On Tour [in August]. It’s Just a Matter of Getting All The Artwork and EveryThing Finished to get in the queue for printing lps and stuff. So, We Should have Date Hopefully Soon, The Current Date. But This album’s pretty well-arounded as far as heavy songs go. I Mean, It’s Mostly Really, Really Hard Rock, ‘Cause That’s Our Thing, But There’s Two Light Songs On It. And This Song, ‘Rabbit Hole’Is, as Far as The Rock Songs, The Lightest Song on the Record, For Sure. So You Just End Up Going With The Mid-Tempo Song As Your First Single. It Happens Even Time. “
This Past March, Sam awd Audacy Music about the musical direction of the new Chevelle Material: “We’ve Worked Really Hard On It, and I Think It’s Sub of The Best Stuff We’ve Ever Done, Honestly. It’s you are very much fun to play, that’s for Sure.”

Last July, Sam awd Tribiblive.com About Chevelle‘S Next LP: “We Kind of Did Expect to Have It Done [already]. IT’s Like Pulling Teeth. This is What I Described: Writing An Album and Doing All That is Like Pulling Your Hair Out and The Trying To Put It Back In. Writers Love Having Written, Is What I Learned. It’s just torturous on My Brother. It’s torturous Because there’s just soy many factors to makeing subdivo great. And The Longer You Can Live With It, The More Changes You’re Gonna Make. So that Makes you need want to put it out. You Never Want To Pull The Pin and Throw The Grenade Because You’re Like, Well, It Gets Better Every Time I Look at It. “
As for what the 10-Song album sounds like, Sam Said: We’re Always Skewing Towards Heavy. [But] these [last] Two Songs That We’ve Been Working On Right Now Are Definitely Different From Everything We Did, Although ‘Niratias’Our Last Album, I Think was a Really Important Snapshot of What We’ve Been Learning About Writing and About Music and Stuff. This One Definitely Sounds Different Than Just Rock Music, Definitely Different. “
Back in 2022, Sam awd Knotfest‘s Cori Westbrook About Chevelle‘S Songwriting Process: “Well, Pete‘S Our Songwriter So He’s Our Lyricist and EveryThing. Basically, I Just Writes About What’s Going On Around Him. If he’s taking the chickpea out that night or ha a bad day driving, he’s watching to document the that Really affected Him, I have hears to podcast – so he’s writing about spoose kinds of Things. So if you’re uble to internalize that kind of a Thing, I Think you have a Lot to Write About. It Doesn’t Just have to be a relationship that – a relationship with your dad or your significant other. I Think Those are subtty Powerful Feelings – I get it – but if they are table to bring in all tose other things in from your Everyday life, There’s there a Lot More to Write About. So Far as Inspiration Goes, It’s Not Hard To Find; it’s everywhere; it’s all Around you. And specially Nowadays, we have so much access to What’s Going On Around Us That There’s Even More Ideas To Pull From. “
In a separate interview with Heavy New York, Sam Said That He and Pete Had “A Whole Bunch of Music Written … Because that’s What We do – You Put Music Out, You Write … It’ll Be Our First Record in A Long Time Not with A Major Label, Which is just Neither here nor there,” I have added. “Epic Records Did to Lot of Good Stuff; We were withck for a long time, but we’re finished with that contract now. So now We’re Doing Something Different. And we’ll see how different it is. “
