Papa Roach has returned with their first new song, "Even If It Kills Me," in three years just as they kick off their "Rise Of The Roach" Tour in Europe.
The band debuted "Even If It Kills Me" in Berlin, and sees the band return to their hard rock roots. In the track, Papa Roach frontman Jacoby Shaddix sings, "Even if it kills me inside/ Even if you burn me alive/ I'd carry that pain that you don’t need/ I'd carry that weight that you don’t see/ Even if it kills me this time/ Even if I’m buried alive/ I'd give my last breath so you could breathe/ Even if it kills me."

The band has not confirmed if "Even If It Kills Me" will appear on a new album, however, Shaddix told Germany's Rock Antenne that fans can expect a new record at some point. He said, "At some point [in 2025], there will be a new record. Probably not — it won't be till the end of the year at the soonest. But we're really proud of the stuff that we've done. And I think the fans will be surprised. The fans that are coming to the shows are gonna be surprised at what we're doing too. And so it's gonna be a good time."
Papa Roach's "Rise Of The Roach" Tour takes the band through Europe, and will come to North America in March. The North American leg kicks off in Houston, Texas and will make stops in Dallas, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Green Bay, Virginia Beach, and more, before wrapping up in West Palm Beach, Florida on October 5th. And joining the guys as special guests are Wage War on the European and UK dates, and Rise Against and Underoath in the US.
