"  Photo: James Minchin In the 12 years since their 2001 debut, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club has released five dynamic albums. But having battled the sudden loss of Michael Been, the group&amp;#039;s sound engineer and frontman Robert Been&amp;#039;s father, in 2010, the group&amp;#039;s forthcoming seventh album, Specter At The Feast, has taken on extra significance. &amp;quot;Having the album complete is so great,&amp;quot; says drummer Leah Shapiro. One of their most vibrant releases to date, Specter At The Feast, due out on March 19, is highlighted by the hard-charging military stomper &amp;quot;Rival,&amp;quot; which you can now stream exclusively on ELLE.com. As Shapiro recalls, the song came together rather organically. &amp;quot;We were in the rehearsal studio in L.A.,&amp;quot; she remembered of its recording. &amp;quot;And we were stuck working on arrangements for some other song. And out of the blue [guitarist] Peter [Hayes] started playing the riff for [&amp;quot;Rival&amp;quot;]. It was pretty much written off the bat there. It came out of the blue.&amp;quot; That&amp;#039;s not to say Specter is any less diverse than any of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club&amp;#039;s previous releases. &amp;quot;We could write an album with just the rockers,&amp;quot; Shapiro said. &amp;quot;But I don&amp;#039;t think that would be very true to who we are.&amp;quot;      Read the latest breaking culture news.
