Dexter writes on the band's website: "We're taking a quick break from recording right now to be with our families. Wanna know what's going on with the new record? Well, I've got two lyrics to do, a couple more to sing, and various musical tweaks and fixes to get done. Then we'll be ready to mix.

"We haven't announced a release date yet because we're just not quite close enough to know when we'll be finished. We want to thank all our fans who have been so patient, and we want you to know that we've been in the studio nearly every day now for quite awhile working hard to make a great record."

So it looks like the disc is in the pipe for release sometime this year and of note it will feature the drumming mastery of one Josh Freese. Let's see who gets to record stores first. Dexter or Axl!
