New Music Alert: Queens of the Stone Age

"Sick, Sick, Sick"

First single from their upcoming new disc "Era Vulgaris," due June 12 via Interscope. The set follows up 2005's "Lullabies to Paralyze."

Listen to new NIN

NIN have posted two songs off their upcoming effort, "Year Zero," on their MySpace. "Survivalism," the first single, which is currently making the rounds on radio, and "My Violent Heart" can be streamed via the ultra-popular socia-networking website.

Meanwhile, a tracklist can be seen by clicking here. Assumably, more content will follow on this page as well. "Year Zero" is due in April.

In other NIN news, this mini-site has been setup to preview their upcoming DVD, "Beside You In Time," due on February 27th.

And even more NIN, because you know you gotta have it (from The NIN Hotline):

This Danish article and a French article are reporting that Trent Reznor, as well as Julian Casablancas of the Strokes and Mark Lanegan of Screaming Trees, will perform guest vocals on Queens of the Stone Age's upcoming June release Era Vulgaris.

QOTSA Preps Next Disc

Queens of the Stone Age (read: Josh Homme plus an assorted backing band of his choosing) have unveiled some tidbits about their next album, Billboard.com reports:

Queens Of The Stone Age are eyeing a June release for their next Interscope album, which is dubbed "Era Vulgaris," according to a post on the group's Web site. Purported song titles include "Into the Hollow," "Misfit Love," "Battery Acid" and "Sick, Sick, Sick."

But then Mr. Homme teases us that these may or may not be real, just a playful taunt from his sick mind, no doubt.

"Era Vulgaris" will be the follow-up to 2005's "Lullabies to Paralyze."

More details on this one as they come down the wire.

(Editor's Note: I apologize for my two week absence on the site. I just moved to NJ (yeah, wish me luck) and things have been kind of crazy around here. That and it took me awhile to get the Internet back. Thankfully, everything seems to be in working order now. Oh Internet, sweet Internet. More frequent updates, features, and surprises to come. Don't go anywhere.)
