Flat Black, the new band featuring former Five Finger Death Punch guitarist Jason Hook, will release its debut album, “Dark Side of the Brain,” on July 19, 2024, via Fearless Records. The album is available with exclusive merch and on vinyl. Pre-order it here or here.
“Dark Side of the Brain” produced by Hook and Chris Collier (Korn), and recorded at both Hook’s home studio and The Hideout in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The band also has shared the video for the latest single, “Sideways.”
“It’s a song about losing your temper,” Hook said. “Whenever I felt my darker side gaining control in any given situation, I would say, ‘I’m about to go sideways.’ In those moments, it is key to let those feelings pass through you and refocus on moving forward.”
As for the album as a whole, Hook is stoked to finally share it with fans.
“Well, we’re finally here,” he said, with a laugh. “No more people hounding me about when the album will be available. I’m so excited to share these songs with the public. ‘Dark Side of the Brain’ is personal, every lyric came from a real place.”
The album artwork also is personal, as Hook designed it himself.
Flat Black will hit the road in the summer and fall, playing headline shows and festivals, and supporting Godsmack. Get tickets here.
