El grupo de Atlanta ha escogido a Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Rush, Alice in Chains) como productor de su nuevo trabajo. En un par de semanas entran a algunas de las 20 canciones que tienen escritas para el disco que saldrá el año que viene
El batería Brann Dailor habló con la Rolling Stone y dijo acerca del productor:
"[Nick is] a rock guy. He's a rocker. He likes to rock. He's done a bunch of our friends' records that sound great. I'm a fan of all the DEFTONES records he's done, all the ALICE IN CHAINS stuff, and he worked with QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE on [their 2002 album] 'Songs For The Deaf'."
Y sobre el disco....
"It's gonna be massive and insane, lots of epic greatness," he said. "There will be lots of huge riffs and new directions. It's real weird, real math-y, real straightforward. It's up, down and all around. It's a culmination of everything for the band. The snowball keeps rolling and collecting snow."
