Nickelback have released a lyric video for Feed The Machine – the title track from their upcoming ninth album.

The follow-up to 2014’s No Fixed Address will launch on June 9, with those pre-ordering the record gaining instant access to the new track.

In addition, Nickelback have announced an extensive North American tour in support of the album. They’ll get underway at the Klipsch Music Center, Noblesville, on June 23.

The dates come after the band wrapped up a rescheduled European tour late last year. The original dates were due to take place in 2015 but were pushed back to allow frontman Chad Kroeger to undergo surgery to remove a cyst on his vocal cords.

Speaking previously about the rigours of life on the road, Kroeger said: “It’s exhausting, but there’s nothing like it. People think it’s easy and one big luxury event, but it’s a lot of hard work.

“It’s like camping. You’ve got a nice tour bus, so it’s glamorous camping, but it’s hard travelling all the time. It’s a lot of work, and you really have to get used to it. You’ve really got to love it.

“If you’re a homebody and like being in your own bed every night, seeing your dog and having your favourite food, this is not the job for you.”
