Strapping Young Lad Post Ozzfest Update

"The SYL juggernaut continues its Ozzfest rampage through the US...it's so freakin' hot every day. We are constantly wondering how the fans can keep themselves together for a whole day, let alone the paltry 20 minutes that we are on stage. So here is a loud 'fuck yes' to the fans who endure that brutal heat to see their favorite bands...you truly rule.
Playing 'You Suck' every day on the Ozzfest has become a bit of a legend...we keep hearing people talking about it, and Devins' slightly changed lyrics are always hilarious...it's cool to look around while we are playing it, and see the crews and other band members cracking up!! It's good to smile, and more people should do it more often.
Bob Meadows from A Life Once Lost has been joining us on stage to help with the backup vocal duties on 'You Suck'...he's awesome... and his entire band and crew are good people...hats off to them.
The New Black came out with a flourish on July 11th and has been doing very well for us...we appreciate you folks showin' your love by getting out there and buying it. Keep it up, ok!!??
We are extremely proud of the new album and it's very representative of where we are at as band now...every album has been a snapshot of our lives at that moment...and this one is no different.
So from my 'New Black' heart, I thank you...WE thank you...and we'll see you wonderful, crazy people on tour alright?! Hell yeah!
