Trent Reznor might be involved in this one...
Aside from destroy angel’s new EP, what’s next for you?
A: A number of things. Tweaking some things for the HTDA full LP (coming in Spring), helping Josh out on a new QOTSA track, working with Roy, starting rehearsals for two bands

Dave Grohl Vows Queens of the Stone Age Album Will Be Ridiculous
Foo Fighters frontman dubs group "the baddest rock'n'roll band in the world"
Queens of the Stone Age are Dave Grohl's heroes. Or so the Foo Fighters frontman, who plays drums on QOTSA's upcoming sixth album, suggested in a glowing interview last week with BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe (via Blabbermouth).
"When you walk into a festival backstage with Queens of the Stone Age, it's like, the record stops," Grohl told Lowe in the brief phone interview, which starts around the 22:40 mark of the November 21 program. "People stop and they stare, and it's like, Queens of the Stone Age are, without question, the baddest rock'n'roll band in the world."
Grohl's comments mostly focused on QOTSA's 2002 Songs for the Deaf, on which he played drums with an anything-goes abandon he indicated will carry over to the forthcoming LP. "But with Queens of the Stone Age, like, there were no boundaries with that band, there were no limits with them," he said of the decade-old album. "It was like, if you did something insane, do it more. And honestly, the new Queens of the Stone Age record, I'm playing drums on that, and I'll do something so completely ridiculous, I'll just, like, 'There's no way that Josh [Homme, QOTSA frontman] is going to let me do that,' and he'll say, 'Do that for 45 seconds, over and over again, that's become, like, the part of the song, now that is a big part of the song,' and that's the way they work."
Grohl observed that Songs for the Deaf was a concept album, but didn't say whether the new QOTSA record — which also features Trent Reznor — will follow suit. He did say that QOTSA's "baddest rock'n'roll band in the world" status continues to this day, and that "when Songs for the Deaf, when that came out, it blew people's minds, man, for real." If the former Nirvana drummer's latest collaboration with Homme and company is anything like his first, get ready for minds potentially being blown again
Josh Homme has revealed for the first time why he fired longtime friend Nick Oliveri from Queens Of The Stone Age in 2004. Speaking to Zane Lowe tonight (July 6) on BBC Radio 1, Homme said he ordered Oliveri to leave the band after he independently confirmed Oliveri had been physically abusive to his girlfriend.
"A couple years ago, I spoke to Nick about a rumor I heard," Homme recalled. "I said, 'If I ever find out that this is true, I can't know you, man.' Because music and my life are the same thing, there's no rules until something massive happens. [Nick] was over here [in England] with [QOTSA vocalist Mark] Lanegan and something happened again, and he almost didn't make it out of the country. That's not music anymore."
Oliveri could not be reached for comment at deadline.
Homme says he will reject pleas from QOTSA fans to give Oliveri a second chance. "They don't understand what it's like to just sit there and feel helpless," he said. "When you have your chance to make your statement, which for me was firing Nick, that's what I did."
Homme and Oliveri have frequently exchanged words via the media in recent months; Homme was also involved in a brawl over Oliveri's firing last November in Los Angeles with Dwarves singer Blag Dahlia, a close friend of the former QOTSA bassist.
"If you're trying to be good about something and everybody else around you isn't, what do you do?," Homme said. "Do you fight fire with fire or sit there and burn?"
Queens Of The Stone Age is in the midst of international touring in support of its latest Interscope album, "Lullabies To Paralyze." A fall North American tour with Nine Inch Nails begins Sept. 16 in San Diego. x
Grunge Report is saying Lanegan is going to be involved in the new record as well...
My God, I am pumped for this record. I was trying to figure out any modern era bands that are similar to these guys (Homme mostly) because I like nothing seemingly that's similar. There's really no one to compare them to. He's a talented mother fucker.
