Feed the Machine is the ninth studio album by Canadian rock band Nickelback, and was released on June 16, 2017 by BMG Rights Management.
Background
Following the release of their prior album, No Fixed Address, in 2014, the band cancelled the majority of their touring due to Chad Kroeger needing to have surgery to remove a cyst in his vocal cord.[1] The band subsequently became bogged down in legal battles related to the cancellation of the tour.[1]
The album was released on June 16, 2017.[2][3] Shortly after the release of the album, the band will embark a tour starting June 23, 2017 in North America, with Daughtry, Shaman's Harvest and Cheap Trick as supporting acts.[1]
Promotion and release
The album's first single, "Feed the Machine" was released on February 1, 2017. The second single, "Song on Fire", was released on April 28, 2017.[4] On June 1, 2017, Nickelback made the song "Must Be Nice" available on their YouTube channel[5] and gave it away to those who had pre-ordered the album.[6] "Must Be Nice" was released to American rock radio stations on June 6, 2017 as the album's third official single and second rock single.[7]
