The band’s new song is set to arrive on May 15 while the songs โMake It Out Aliveโ and โFar Enough Awayโ are arriving alongside pre-orders for the album.
“New song clip! โTell Me How You Really Feelโ from our new album โShadow Work!โ Communication can be tricky sometimes.
The song has had a bit of a divisive reaction with some actual Trapt fans coming out to give it praise while others outside of their fanbase are giving critiques on both ends.
The people talking shit on here have literally never done anything with their lives and just want attention…. songs catchy man keep it up

Ooof. I see now why you preemptively posted about how it’s OK to make generic music.

It’s not very good. That’s how I really feel.

sounds like every other song on pop radio. that’s how i really feel. No originality, stale lyrics and just an uninspired effort.

Eh, I can deal without the drama tweets, but itโs not a bad song. Just my opinion.

Derivative, but poppy.

Elsewhere, the band are still rallying against so-called leftists over claims of being removed from a festival lineup over their political commentary.
Trapt vocalist Chris Taylor Brown has been very outspoken about supporting President Donald Trump on their official band accounts.
That has led to an ongoing commentary amongst the metal and hardcore community particularly as the band have gotten into Twitter fights with countless musicians.
Now, they say the Afterlife Music Hall attempted to remove the band from a festival lineup in Lombard, Illinois.
According to the post, the band were set to perform withย Puddle Of Mudd‘s Muddfest along with several other bands.
Brown is saying they also had a show in the area cancelled last year relating to a post made discussing politics.

“I want everyone to see a perfect example of the intolerant left with this show cancellation and to see how FB is actively censoring me!!! Another example of the intolerant left and their social media sites and search engines against the right! Share this post!
So we had aย Muddfestย Date scheduled for Sat Sept 5, VERY close to the same suburb of liberal AF Chicago called Berwyn. Berwyn was the ONLY show to cancelย Traptย for last yearโs Sept tour for my opinion on that woman who said โsome people did somethingโ that I made known last Sept 11 here on FB.
I will fight this #cancelculture assault on 1st amendment rights with EVERYTHING I got! Here is the venue trying to cancelย Trapt, who is main support toย Puddle Of Muddย withย Fuelย andย Tantricย also on the bill.”
The post continues by saying some of the people in Illinois are “just too intolerant to respect FREE SPEECH” and calling the promoters “obviously liberal AF.”
“As long as people like you exist, I will be DOUBLING DOWN on my support for said โdeplorables,โ in the face of so much left liberal hatred of their opinions and way of life! White people donโt have to feel guilty for existing Jon! Fuck you!”ย
