Scott Stapp is feeling pretty relieved today. It’s been eight years since he released his debut solo album, “The Great Divide,” and he’s finally ready to unveil the follow-up.

 “The seeds were planted in 2007. I just had a lot to go through and to get through in order for it to be born,” the Creed singer said about the album during a recent visit to CBSNews.com. “I’m glad it’s finally here. It’s a huge sense of accomplishment and I feel like almost a weight has been lifted that it’s finished.”

 His sophomore solo effort, titled “Proof of Life,” out Tuesday on Wind-up Records, consists of extremely personal songs, including lead single “Slow Suicide.” The personal nature of the music won’t come as too much of a surprise to fans who read Stapp’s 2012 memoir, “Sinner’s Creed.” The 40-year-old rocker has had a lot tap into from his own life for inspiration — from his fundamentalist upbringing and the rise of Creed to his battle with addiction and the rediscovery of his faith.
