When Foo Fighters teased a "huge announcement" for Monday (Aug. 11), it was pretty obvious what was coming: an album release date, title and tracklist for the band's eigth studio effort. As expected, Dave Grohl and co. delivered today by proclaiming that the follow-up to 2011's Wasting Light, Sonic Highways will arrive this November.
Grohl announced the new album release date in style: with some brand new ink and a YouTube video. In a post on Foo Fighters' official website, Grohl got an infinity sign/eight tattoo with the phrase "In the end we all come from what's come before" on his forearm.
In the meanwhile, raucous rock 'n' roll plays in the background (presumably a new Foo Fighters track) and the title of the video gives a few album details... "Sonic Highways. Album Out Everywhere November 10."
So, there's your album title and release date, folks!
In a new pre-order in the Foo Fighters' store, the album's eight-song tracklist was revealed and includes song titles such as "Outside," "The Feast and the Famine" and "Something From Nothing."
Check out Foo Fighters' Sonic Highways tracklist below:
01. Something From Nothing
02. The Feast and the Famine
03. Congregation
04. What Do I Do?/God As My Witness
05. Outside
06. In The Clear
07. Subterranean
08. I Am A River
According to the pre-release, the album clocks in at just over 44 minutes long.
The official release date and tracklisting for Sonic Highways is just the latest album news from Foo Fighters. The band will roll out the album's new music on an upcoming HBO series of the same name. As previously reported, the show will premiere on Friday, Oct. 17, with a new single on that same day.
Sonic Highways was produced by Butch Vig in eight different American music capitals: Chicago, Austin, Los Angeles, Nashville, Seattle, New Orleans, Washington DC and New York. Each song was inspired by the music, history and people of those cities.
