Buckcherry has released a lyric video for "Nothing Left but Tears," a track featured on the band's sixth album, Confessions, which hit back in February.

Blabbermouth, which reviewed the LP, said it's an aggressive mix of tunes geared toward the band's strengths:

"The songs on Confessions merge punk grit, gutter attitude, honest storytelling, and razor sharp hooks, while the lyrics are tied together by the underlying theme of the Seven Deadly Sins."

Speaking with Loudwire, fronter Josh Todd said that the album's theme was based on a childhood experience:

"There was a point in my life when I was a youth when I lost a family member and I acted out in my grieving process through the deadly sins, so that's kind of what the story's about on the record. I think the seven sins are timeless and that everybody struggles with them in their daily lives all the time."

King, who spoke with Entertainment Daily News, said that the band will always have a place for Hanneman:

"Jeff is going to be in everybody's thoughts for a long time. It's unfortunate you can't keep unfortunate things from happening. But we're going to carry on - and he'll be there in spirit."

Slayer is headed out on the road this summer and fall, playing 35 dates including headline shows, as well as a number of major summer festivals in Europe, Eastern Europe and South America.

Paul Bostaph, the band's drummer from 1992-2001, will be back behind the kit on the tour.
