Hailed by Rolling Stone as "the next contenders for the new-metal crown," TapRoot make their eagerly awaited return with the blistering "WELCOME." The 12-track collection finds the Ann Arbor-based quartet in a more reflective - but no less aggressive - fr ame of mind. Produced by Toby Wright (Alice In Chains, Korn, Metallica) and mixed by Andy Wallace (Nirvana, Foo Fighters), the album captures TapRoot's extraordinary artistic growth on songs such as the provocative first single, "Poem," and the intricate "Mine," which jumpstarts the proceedings by introducing a trip-hop-inspired beat and three-part harmonies into the band's already unique sonic attack.
Since their 1997 foundation, TapRoot have earned a passionate and faithful following among discerning hard rock loyalists via searing live performances as well as 2000's Velvet Hammer/ Atlantic debut, "GIFT." The album - which features the Active Rock rad io hits "Again and Again" and "I" - drew national acclaim from a variety of high-profile publications, including Rolling Stone, which praised the collection as "a short, sharp shock - forty-three-and-a-half minutes of pure heartland heavy-rock rage."
