Josh Homme, arguably one of the most prolific and acclaimed songwriters and musicians of his generation, returns to Queens Of The Stone Age for their next mammoth release of juicy guitar ear hole injections. Following a rather joyous digression with another Eagles Of Death Metal album, Josh and co have been busy with 'Era Vulgaris', their fifth studio album, which puts rock n roll and just about everything else to rights.
This mind-blowing album sees the band return to their deepest, darkest roots, with shadowy riffs reminiscent of the desert sounds of the Kyuss days combined with multi layered industrial power guitar and organ blasts of a new era. It was produced by long time Queens production cohort Chris Goss and Josh Homme himself at their hideaway in the dunes of Joshua Tree. 'Era Vulgaris' includes a re-recording of the Desert Session favourite 'Make It Witchu' (with Mark Lanegan's vocals replaced by Josh's), and features a track with Julian Casablancas from The Strokes
