Despite previous promises of a thrash metal album released to coincide with the premiere of Foo Fighters' horror-comedy Studio 666, Dave Grohl swears it's actually coming this week.
Now, this should all be taken with a grain of salt, since Grohl has been known to find himself caught in a lie.
Exhibit A: as previously reported, the musician told Rolling Stone that there would be a metal record — recorded under the moniker Dream Widow, a fictional band central to the film's plot — by February 25.
"I mean, I work fast, but fuck, this deadline is going to kill me," Grohl said at the time, but was adamant that he would get the album finished and ready in time for the movie's theatrical release.
The deadline did not, in fact, kill him — but you could say it thrashed him a little.
The new release date for Dream Widow's debut is March 25, as per Variety. Now specified as an EP, it will be available digitally on Friday, with a physical release to follow later this year.
In the film, while recording their album Medicine at Midnight in a haunted mansion, the band find a Dream Widow tape from 25 years ago, including a song that — if recorded and completed — unleashes a demon.
The music Grohl wrote for Dream Widow was inspired by his days as a "fucking '80s thrash metal kid," influenced by bands like Trouble, Corrosion of Conformity and Kyuss. He even went so far as to compose a 15-minute, multi-suite metal epic called "Lacrimus dei Ebrius."
"It's like, 'The Tears of God' or something like that; I don't speak Latin," Grohl told Exclaim! in a recent interview.
At this rate, he might very well speak Latin.
Revisit the first Dream Widow single "March of the Insane" below, and stay tuned (for real this time).
All is forgiven so long as Grohl's love for Canada wasn't a lie, especially since the Foos are set to headline Osheaga this summer. He also recently revealed the reason why he "never" wants to go solo.
