Limp Bizkit’s new record is coming together nicely, it seems, with guitarist Wes Borland sharing some clips from inside the studio.
Last month, it was announced that Limp Bizkit were planning to hit the studio to work on their their first full-length album since 2011’s Gold Cobra.
Tentatively (and regrettably) titled Stampede Of The Disco Elephants, Fred Durst explained last year that he had actually leaked part of the album back in early 2016, though this has never been verified.
Now, it looks like recording sessions have begun in earnest, with guitarist Wes Borland sharing some studio updates, including clips of the guitar work that will feature on the new record.
While some fans noted that that the most recent video shared by Wes Borland sounds reminiscent of their 2000 album, Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water, others have pointed out that this is exactly why Borland is one of the most underrated guitarists going going around.
In recent Limp Bizkit news, members of Bring Me The Horizon explained how their recent single, ‘Wonderful Life’, was originally written for Fred Durst.
“Last year, me and Jordan [Fish] went and worked with Fred Durst on a Limp Bizkit album,” explained Bring Me The Horizon vocalist Oli Sykes. “It just didn’t work out, to be honest. He just didn’t show up most of the time.”
“Lovely guy, but I don’t think he was ready to make an album. I think he was pushed into it a bit, like, his managers and people said ‘These are the guys you want to work with.’ So we gave him all these ideas and I mean it was just bad from day one, to be honest.”
“One good thing came out of it: me and Jordan wrote this riff and I one day decided the tempo and key matched almost perfectly with the song,” he explained. “So we de-Bizkit‘d it a bit, and it ended up sounding pretty sick.”
At this stage, there’s no word yet as to when we might begin to hear Limp Bizkit’s new record, but if Wes Borland’s guitar clips are anything to go by, it’s shaping up to be a banger.
