THE DURST KIND OF NEWS

Fred Durst says of his band: "There is a chemistry here that I haven't found anywhere else"...

LIMP BIZKIT have begun recording their new album and will try to have it finished by Christmas.

Speaking in a message on their official website, frontman Fred Durst also speaks about the chemistry between the band since guitarist Wes Borland returned to the fold.

"We're packing up and heading north to record a new album. Los Angeles is too comfortable for us, so we have to leave our everyday lives behind. This music is hungry for our blood, and we have to feed it what it wants.

"We have about two months before the holidays hit. Do you think we can hammer it out before Christmas? We'll see.

"I've been gone for a long time. I don't regret anything that's happened over the past three years. It couldn't have happened any other way. I had some time to explore some other things, and after searching I came to the conclusion that this band was not an accident. There is a chemistry here that I haven't found anywhere else. There's an intention and an electricity that exists which is bigger than the individual members, despite their differences.

"We're very excited about the music we are writing at the moment, and we are very grateful that we get the chance to do this again with our friend Ross Robinson (producer) on board.

"p.s..... when I said ‘hammer it out by Christmas’ I in no way meant that we would try to release an album by Christmas. I was saying that I hope we will finish recording by then. Thank you and goodnight."
