Dropkick Murphys have announced the title of their upcoming full length which is due out June 21st via Hell Cat. The record, titled The Warrior's Code, is the sixth studio release from the Boston natives.
In a recent interview, bassist/vocalist Ken Casey said this about the record:
Yeah, and someone should have made a movie while we were making it. Those were hectic times. I had just had a baby when we started it -- and we were in recording 14 hours a day. Someone could have made a good comedy of errors, I'll tell you. You get a little delirious when you're working that many hours. But it came out great. And I'm actually going to be finishing the mix on it when we get back from England. So during St. Patrick's Day, if you see me out in my car in front of Avalon listening to a song, that's what I'm doing. I'll be checking the mixes so we can get them done by the end of the month.The first track is about a friend [Greg Riley] who passed away. . . . And the second song is about the career of Massachusetts boxer Mickey Ward. . . . So, as always, there are stories about local people and stories about death and about partying. I guess it incorporates all the aspects of life.
