Gold Cobra is the upcoming fifth studio album by American rock band Limp Bizkit, scheduled to be released through Polydor and Interscope Records early 2011. It is the group's first studio album in seven years and will be the first release by the original line-up of the band since 2000's Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water.
Album information
In mid-2008 rumors began to indicate that Limp Bizkit were planning a comeback tour, these rumors were later confirmed. Interviews with various members of the band had hinted that Terry Balsamo was to replace Wes Borland, but Balsamo was demanding a written contract, which the band was either unable or unwilling to give. Despite no official confirmation from the band, members of Limp Bizkit signed up on Twitter including Wes, with DJ Lethal confirming the accounts to be real, making Borland's rejoining seem less like a rumor. In late 2008, bassist Sam Rivers hinted that the group was in the early stages of writing new material for the fifth full-length album, the bands first full-length album in 7 years.
On February 11, 2009, Durst posted on his Twitter account the message "1am pacific time- limpbizkit.com tonight". The site was up and running for the first time in years and confirmed the return of Wes. Through a blog post on the homepage, Fred Durst and Wes Borland issued a joint statement:
We decided we were more disgusted and bored with the state of heavy popular music than we were with each other. Regardless of where our separate paths have taken us, we recognize there is a powerful and unique energy with this particular group of people we have not found anywhere else. This is why Limp Bizkit is back.[2]
August 24th, 2009 marked the official first day of recording new material, as well as the first time the entire band had recorded together since 2000 (Results May Vary without Wes Borland, The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1) without John Otto). Less than one month later, a twitter update via Fred Durst informed readers of the instrumental recording completion, along with the first of two layers of vocals. On November 30, Durst revealed in a Kerrang article, and later via Twitter, that the new album would be called Gold Cobra and would be released summer 2010 by Polydor/Interscope.
Durst told Kerrang Magazine in December of 2009 that the album will feature 10 songs with interludes/segues between the songs. In a series of radio interviews Fred revealed that Wes Borland came up with the album name "Gold Cobra".[3] He confirmed the first single off the album will be "Douchebag" (with a possible release date of May 2010).[4] On March 29 Durst stated that eighteen songs are recorded and are currently in the process of being mixed, but noted that not all songs will make the album.[5] Rumored guest performances on the album include Mathematics, Raekwon (Wu-Tang Clan), Gene Simmons, and Paul Wall. The end of March saw Fred Durst posting teasers to the songs "Shark Attack", "90TO10", "Douchebag", and "Walking Away" on his twitter page,[6][7][8][9] and on April 7th, Fred posted the unofficial tracklisting to Gold Cobra. [10] On 30 April 2010 "Why Try" was released by Durst on the band's official website.
