Staind have announced a new album titled The Space Between the Darkness and the Light, set to arrive March 5th, 2027. In advance of its release, the band has unleashed the single “Watch Me Break.”
The album’s release coincides with the launch of the recently announced second North American leg of Staind’s “Break the Cycle 25th Anniversary Tour,” which kicks off March 4th in Manchester, New Hampshire.

Staind frontman Aaron Lewis stated of the album, “The struggle in the middle of dark and light is so fucking present throughout the entire album. It almost named itself. The title fit this collection because the songs are stuck in the conflict between opposite ends of the spectrum. There are a couple of songs where I’m straight up talking to God. To me, that’s The Space Between The Darkness and The Light.”
“Watch Me Break” starts out with Lewis delivering an almost-death-metal-like spoken word growl before the song launches into a melodic chorus, followed by a screamed verse.
“It was the last song I did because I knew I was going to be pretty angry throughout the whole thing,” noted Lewis. “It’s definitely pointed at this insane machine the music industry puts human beings in and expects them to come out normal.”
“Watch Me Break” follows previous single “Ghosts,” which was released last month and currently sits in the Top 10 of the Mainstream Rock chart.
