Time For Annihilation is a unique hybrid listening experience which will consist of a mix of new studio and live tracks. The band has enlisted veteran hit-maker David Bendeth to produce 5 new tracks and meld them seamlessly into Live versions of the biggest hits and fan favorites
Ten years after exploding onto the music scene with Infest, its triple platinum, major label debut, Papa Roach can claim its first retrospective "To Be Loved: The Best Of Papa Roach." The CD features all eight of the band's Top 10 hits (including the #1s "Last Resort" and "Lifeline"), acoustic and live tracks, other favorites, and the never-before-released "Just Go (Never Look Back)." "To Be Loved: The Best Of Papa Roach" offers fans the ultimate embrace, from its nu metal beginnings through its alt metal and hard rock evolutions, of one of the most compelling groups of the 2000s. Formed in Northern California in 1993 and led by singer Jacoby Shaddix (aka Coby Dick), the band toured incessantly and issued a series of indie EPs and a full-length album. Finally, in 2000, "Infest" was released on DreamWorks (later Geffen). The album shot to #5 and spun off the #1 Modern Rock "Last Resort" and Top 10 Modern Rock "Broken Home." Suddenly the band went from the Warped Tour to the main stage at OzzFest in both the U.S. and U.K. 2002's "Lovehatetragedy" followed, soaring to #2 and gold status, buoyed by the Top 10 Modern Rocker "She Loves Me Not" and Top 40 Modern Rock "Time And Time Again." "Getting Away With Murder" in 2004 was next, charting in the Top 20 and going platinum. The album's "Scars" became the band's biggest hit, #15 Pop and #2 Modern Rock. "To Be Loved..." includes an acoustic "Scars" as a bonus track as well as the album's #4 Modern Rock "Getting Away With Murder." Culled from 2006's "The Paramour Sessions," which debuted Top 20, are "Reckless" and "...To Be Loved," the latter a Top 10 Mainstream Rocker that became the official theme song for WWE Raw from 2006 to 2009. The album also featured the #2 Modern Rock studio version of "Forever," heard on "To Be Loved..." in the form of the 2006 Live Session digital EP. In 2009, "Metamorphosis" peaked at #8, yielding the #1 Mainstream Rock "Lifeline" and Top 40 Mainstream Rock "Hollywood Whore." "To Be Loved: The Best Of Papa Roach" adds an acoustic take of the album's "Had Enough" selected from 2009's "Naked and Fearless" digital EP.

Album Summary
PARAMOUR SESSIONS: DELUXE EDITION Includes a ringtone of "FOREVER", cell phone wallpaper and a foldout poster!
The Paramour mansion has no shortage of history. In 1933, oil heiress Daisy Canfield was on her way home from a party when her car veered off a Mulholland Drive cliff, plummeting 300 feet and instantly killing the wife of silent movie star Antonio Moreno. In the decades that followed, the couple's 14-bedroom Hollywood Hills estate would see time as a school for girls, then a convent before falling into disrepair, later being devastated by a 1987 earthquake. Born again more than a decade later, the renovated mansion has served as a recording studio for the likes of H.I.M. and Gwen Stefani, and recently hosted television's "Rock Star" reality series.
It was between seasons of "Rock Star" that Papa Roach were tenants of the historic property, writing and recording the songs that comprise The Paramour Sessions. "We chose to move into the Paramour so we could focus on music and not have to deal with and be affected by the outside world," says Papa Roach drummer Dave Buckner. Little did the band realize the impact that the house would actually have. "We went in to the house with the intention of writing the most savage, bad-ass record we could write," adds frontman Jacoby Shaddix, "but when we got there, the house had a spirit about it that was bigger than us. We knew we were onto something the second we went into our jam sessions, because we'd never stepped into a room and played for six or seven hours straight, just being creative."
The results of that creative energy - whether channeled by the band, or the product of a mysterious, more elusive energy - are The Paramour Sessions, the fifth full-length Papa Roach release of the past decade, and second for Geffen Records. "Living in the house together was the best thing we could have done for ourselves," says guitarist Jerry Horton. "It brought new life to our writing process and helped us reconnect musically and spiritually. The Paramour brought another level to our creative flow and that had a major influence on the songs, as well as how we'll write music in the future." Details Shaddix: "There was something about the ballroom we recorded in that made us want to write bigger, with more open chords. Something happened there that we wanted everyone to experience with us, and we wanted the songs to feel as grand and over-the-top as our experience there was."
"Every album we've made is a reflection of our states, both personally and musically, and this album is no different," explains Buckner. "The whole property was completely f***ing haunted, and I saw it as a sanctioned opportunity for me to lose my mind--And I did exactly that. I was visited by inter-dimensional beings, had out-of-body sex with spirits from old Hollywood, learned how to see specters, and now know what it feels like to have a ghost walk through me. It's a very enlightening and inspiring experience, and something to check off the list."
"There were times that I was just lyrically stuck, and I would go down to Daisy's grave - she was buried on the property - and just write whatever came to me," recalls Shaddix. "I wrote `Forever' down there, and also `My Heart Is A Fist.' I'd just walk around the property and find the lyrics - I'd look under rocks, I'd trip out, I'd meditate. "Ultimately, we all needed to face whatever our fears were on this record," the singer continues. "We also need to be able to face the fans, face the world, and be able to be proud of who we are and what we do. After making this record, we couldn't ask for anything more than what we accomplished." "It was a pretty crazy, intense time, and you can hear it throughout the record," sums Esperance. "It's a very honest and direct record, which is the same thing that Papa Roach strive to be as a band." "In the early days, I would obsess and worry about making our mark on rock music, but not anymore," concludes Buckner. "In fact, I'm not sure that's even a worthy concern... We rock today, and that's what's cool."
