After wrapping up touring in support of Hats off to the Bull in 2013, Chevelle entered the studio to record their seventh album, re-teaming with Joe Barresi to produce the album. Recording and production finished early in 2014, and the band announced on February 1 that the album, to be released April 1, 2014, would be titled La Gárgola (Spanish for “the gargoyle”). Lead singer Pete Loeffler describes that the album is about “the dark underbelly of American culture.” The first single from the album, titled ” Take Out the Gunman “, was released on February 3, 2014. The other singles from the album are ” Hunter Eats Hunter ” and ” An Island “. The album reached the top of the Rock Album chart in April 2014. Chevelle was nominated for four awards at the 2014 Loudwire Music Awards. The categories were, Best Rock Band, Best Rock Album ( La Gárgola ), Best Bassist (Dean Bernardini), and Best Rock Song (“Take Out the Gunman”).
