LIMP BIZKIT Talks 'Gold Cobra' In New Video Interview

July 5, 2010

In a special extended Independence Weekend Daily Noise, brought to you by Fuse and Billboard.com, Tye Comer sits down with LIMP BIZKIT, who will soon be releasing "Gold Cobra", their first album in seven years. Frontman Fred Durst and guitarist Wes Borland talk about Borland's return to the group after some turmoil, and about preparing to record the new album by touring last year. Borland also explains that the album has some new directions but definitely sounds like a LIMP BIZKIT record. "You will definitely hate it if you hated the others," he says.

LIMP BIZKIT recently cancelled its previously announced summer tour in favor of a fall arena outing.

The "Gold Cobra" tour was scheduled to begin July 3 in Holmdel, N.J. at PNC Bank Arts Center.

LIMP BIZKIT's new album, "Gold Cobra", is scheduled for release later this year.

Regarding the new CD's musical direction, frontman Fred Durst recently told MTV News, "I think that, in a nutshell, we came in staying true to ourselves and doing what we do. ... We make heavy music that has rapping in it. We're a rap-core band. Through the years, it felt natural to try and explore and grow beyond that, and inevitably, it led us in different directions. And what our coming back together represents is us having figured out that, you know, evolution is great, but we need to do what we do.

"And this new album, this is what we do. The evolution has brought us full-circle," Durst continued. "We're LIMP BIZKIT. And if you didn't like it before, you're not going to like it now. If you don't want to hear a band that plays super-heavy grooves, with an MC rapping over it, then you shouldn't listen to LIMP BIZKIT."

"Gold Cobra" is expected to feature guest appearances by a host of hip-hop artists, including WU-TANG CLAN rapper Raekwon, Paul Wall and WU-TANG CLAN producer Mathematics.
