It has been four years since the last Queens Of The Stone Age album, Era Vulgaris, and now we know it won’t be four more until the next one. In a talk with Zane Lowe, QOTSA leader Josh Homme revealed that the band will head back into the studio next month and expect to finish their sixth full-length by the end of the year.
Homme said the following to Lowe:
We’re going to take our one last break that we would get for a month, and come back [to the UK] and do Glastonbury, then immediately jump in the studio…Our record will be done by the end of the year. We have enough songs. We’re at a weird moment where we really don’t feel like we have anything to prove. We just want to play to the people that are into us and we want to play right at them.
Homme also admitted that he was “sick of playing the first album,” which might bode well for the upcoming tour and the chances of hearing some new material. Check out the current tour dates below.
