F.E.A.R. is the seventh studio album by Papa Roach, released in January 2015 on Eleven Seven Music and produced by Kevin Churko, the first album on an independent label after the DreamWorks/Geffen major-label period and a return to heavier, more guitar-forward material after the melodic rock explorations of the previous albums. Shaddix wrote all lyrics; the album's title stands for 'Face Everything and Rise,' framing the album's thematic content around confrontation with fear as a growth process. 'Face Everything and Rise,' 'Gravity,' and 'Warriors' were the principal tracks; the album debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 with 50,000 first-week units. F.E.A.R. received positive reviews from fans who had missed the heavier approach of the early catalog and confirmed that the band retained a commercially significant audience on independent distribution.
