Watch QOTSA Unleash A New Song On Brazil

-
With the release of their sixth album ...Like Clockwork set for release in June, you had to know we were about due for a proper taste of what to expect from the first new Queens Of The Stone Age music in six years soon. Well, as it turns out, the Easter Bunny has seen fit to come through for us; last night, they debuted My God Is The Sun from the upcoming release during their set at Lollapalooza Brazil. But, enough out of me; let's crank this sucker up:



My God Is The Sun has everything you could hope for from a new QOTSA song; a strong hook, pummeling riffage and some beefy drums (courtesy of former Mars Volta stickman Jon Theodore, making his live debut with the band, and on record by perennial badass Dave Grohl). As an added bonus you get a hazy, expertly executed breakdown that slows the ride to a crawl before sprinting to the finish.

...Like Clockwork is out sometime in June on Matador.

Long before we get to that point, however, we're treated to some of the band's most interesting material to date. The album starts with current single Soft Offering (for the Oft Suff...

As it turns out, something I said on this blog earlier this year had a little more resonance than I anticipated. From my January 15th article " What Are The Chances? ", where I gave a percentage chance for certain artists releasing a new album in 2013: 1% NINE INCH NAILS We know that Trent Reznor is gearing up to release How To Destroy Angels' debut. We also know that there's an Interscope-released Nine Inch Nails greatest hits collection being targeted for 2014, for which Reznor promises two new Nine Inch Nails songs. But, we also know Reznor likes to fuck with his fans and absolutely loved fucking with Interscope. What better way to do that than to bring out a brand new Nine Inch Nails record? What better way indeed? Surprise: A new #NIN album is finished, coming later this year on @ columbiarecords : tmblr.co/ZW-7vsm2kw_u #NIN2013 — Nine Inch Nails (@nineinchnails) May 28, 2013 Bravo, Mr. Reznor. I love it when a plan comes together. More on...
