Canadian rock band Theory Of A Deadman recently shared a new holiday track, called "Missing You This Christmas."
"We've never done an original holiday track and for some reason the timing seemed right. Maybe it was all the years of hearing Mariah Carey in Target that sparked the idea," frontman Tyler Connolly explains about the new track.
"Missing You This Christmas" marks the first new music from Theory Of A Deadman since they dropped their most recent album, Dinosaur, which was released earlier this year via Roadrunner Records.
Dinosaur, Theory's eighth full-length album, was a follow-up to 2020's acclaimed album Say Nothing. The 10-track collection features the hard-hitting title track and recent single "Two Of Us (Stuck)."

SZA recently teamed up with experimental pop musician Jean Dawson for a new duet, "No Szns."
Dawson co-produced "No Szns" with Austin Corona, Elliott Kozel, Jesse Schuster, Wyatt Bernard, and Zach Fogarty. The song features trumpet from yMusic co-founder CJ Camerieri.
Dawson co-wrote the song with SZA and co-directed the video for the track with Bradley J. Calder.
"I decided I don't like fall / I decided summer doesn't feel the same anymore / In winter, it makes me melt / Lose my shell / Mail myself overseas in the spring / And all my fears died in the summer," Dawson sings in the song's opening verse.
"In the spring, you can't hear a thing all the birds and bees/Nobody thinks/In the summertime people off the brink/In California, we ain't got no seasons, it's all the same to me," the duo sing in the chorus.
"I made this song like I've made the rest of my songs: The song poses a question then answers that question upon completion. This song allowed me to ask myself what I'm afraid of in my own physical voice and what it is I have to say to anyone that deems my music worth listening to," Dawson told Rolling Stone.
"I then answered that question with the nature of my desire to hide from myself to speak in riddles so my perspectives aren't challenged," he continued. "They are incomplete or incoherent expressions to allow me to be uncomfortably straightforward while subverting its own or my own implied profundity. The song itself is simple in my mind."
Reflecting on working with SZA, Dawson said, "Working with SZA helped me understand how one thing can be communicated multiple ways without the idea collapsing on itself with the weight of how complex the message could be. The way she communicates is profound and honest. She is the songbird of our generation and I love her to death."

Rock band Nickelback recently released a music video for "High Time," a song from their tenth studio album, Get Rollin'.
"'High Time' takes listeners on a hazy cross-country road trip that reminds us that it's always 4:20 somewhere," says a press release.
Timothy Hiehle directed the "High Time" video and shot the clip alongside Austin Friedline, Peter Hoang, Ryan Mclemore and Tanner Gallagher. Alan Lopez also assisted making of the visual.
The video shows the group rolling through desert highways and into cities in a '70s-inspired yellow van, before getting onstage to perform.
The band released the Get Rollin' record's first two singles, "San Quentin" and "Those Days," in September 2022 and October 2022, respectively.
Get Rollin', which arrived in November 2022 via BMG, was the band's first album in five years.
