TRAPT’S NEW ALBUM, ONLY THROUGH THE PAIN, TO BE RELEASED AUGUST 5
The video (from the upcoming Only Through The Pain due on 08.05) was directed by Paul Brown (Motley Crüe, Marilyn Manson) and features lead vocalist and chief songwriter Chris Taylor Brown telling the tale of a cheating girlfriend from the perspective of a songwriter scorned while exposing his cheating ex with three different men. It’s a raw and unique male perspective on romance, relationships, and the nuances in between, keeping Trapt’s rock edge while displaying the captivating songwriting sensibilities which have led to over 2 million albums sold and a song ("Headstrong") that was Billboard's number one played rock and modern rock track and one of the most downloaded in the country on peer-peer-networks.
As an exciting twist, three “trailers” offer a back story to the actual music video, creating a viral sensation. Each trailer showcases a different, torrid affair. (Can you imagine being THAT girl?).

The band are preparing for the launch of the Crüe Fest tour, on which they will share the bill with Motley Crüe, Buckcherry, Papa Roach and Sixx:A.M. The 40+ city tour kicks off on July 1. Nikki Sixx, President of their label, Eleven Seven Music, handpicked Trapt to join the tour.
The four-piece band have been gearing up to release their third studio album since the highly successful 2002 self-titled debut, which included Billboard’s #1 US Modern Rock & #1 US Mainstream Rock single, “Headstrong.” The self-titled album made such an impact on the current modern rock atmosphere that their songs continue to permeate North American airwaves today. As such, TRAPT returned to the studio to create an album that appreciates the guiding principles of modern rock but also tests the boundaries of what it means in 2008.
