VELVET REVOLVER Drummer On Upcoming CD: 'This Album Is Going To Rock'

August 12, 2006

VELVET REVOLVER drummer Matt Sorum (ex-GUNS N' ROSES) has posted the following message on his official blog:

"Just wanted to say sorry for not being on the Sorum forum in awhile.

"Went out on the road for a few shows [with VELVET REVOLVER].

"We have been working on writing the [new VELVET REVOLVER] album most of the summer and needed to get out. It was fun, short but enough to inspire us to get the live feel again.

"We had been working in my studio but are now in a live rehearsal space. Coming up with some great jams.

"I am sorry we didn't play any new material on the five dates that we did play.

"The band wants the new stuff to be the best it can be before we let it out.

"Anyway, plan on writing all of September and part of October, then in the studio. That is the plan, so if it takes a little longer, trust me, it will be worth the wait.

"This album is going to rock."

Sorum recently told ABC Radio's ePrep that the band is on track to have its sophomore album, tentatively titled "Libertad", in stores in the spring. No producer has been chosen at this point, but the group has been speaking with Rick Rubin (AUDIOSLAVE, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, SYSTEM OF A DOWN, SLAYER, SLIPKNOT),hoping to get him to come on board for the project.
