Grohl Getting Started On New Foo Album
Dave Grohl has revealed that he is teaming up with producer Butch Vig for the forthcoming Foo Fighters album, which he said "could be our heaviest album yet."
Appearing at the Independent Spirit Awards on Friday (March 5th), the Foo frontman and Them Crooked Vultures drummer said his main project was gearing up for their seventh album, and stated that the collaboration in Vig was meant in part to honor the 20th anniversary of of Nirvana's breakthrough album Nevermind.
"Me and Taylor have already started demoing songs," Grohl said, speaking to Rolling Stone about initial efforts with Foo drummer Taylor Hawkins.
Bucking with the trend of the last two Foo albums, which were recorded at the band's cutting-edge Studio 606 in California, the new effort will be laid down in Grohl's garage on analog tape. "We're doing a test on Monday," Grohl stated, before adding, "I think this could be our heaviest album yet."
The forthcoming album will also be complimented by a documentary film, said Grohl, which will honor the group's 16 years together and offer a behind the scenes look at the making of the new release.
No word yet on whether this means that Them Crooked Vultures, who recently announced that they were to start work on a new album this year, will be put on the back burner.
