"Novacaine" was the first single from (How to Live) As Ghosts, the eighth album by American alternative metal band 10 Years, going out in August 2017 ahead of the record's October release. Jesse Hasek, who sings it and wrote it with Brian Vodinh, has said it's about the way people lose their spark on the road from youth to adulthood, as grown-up problems pile up and life numbs them.
Nick Raskulinecz produced, and Vodinh plays drums and electric guitar alongside Matt Wantland. Critics heard the band's familiar alternative metal tilted a little further toward alternative rock, and it was counted among three key tracks on the album that wrestle with mortality and mankind. The video followed in September.
