Lars talks about the next album

"It's not really that different from Load. You'll definetely be able to hear that the songs were written at the same time and recorded at the same time. The major difference is if you take "Hero of the Day" and "Mama Said" and you take "Outlaw Torn", which is a 10 minute metal epic, as the extremes, this record doesn't go as far in either direction. This record is a little more concise and the songs are a little shorter and tighter and more compact. There are no 10 minute songs and no James and his guitar type of things. It's more of a straighter metal record than Load, which had a lot of variables on it. We've been listening to it a lot in the last few months, there's stuff on there that we're psyched about and want to get it going. It's really strong, and we want to get it out as soon as we can."

"It will be out middle of November at the latest"

"Tour till about May 28.....In July we start finishing the second part of Load. We're gonna do that in July, August into September and hopefully we'll be done by Oct. 1. We'll put that record out in early part of November. We'll take the rest of the year off and start touring again in January of next year."
