They began tracking drums earlier this month for the follow-up to 2013's One Of Us Is The Killer - and the vocalist reports that what they've come up with so far is "weirder" and less melodic than recent releases.

Puciato tells Metal Wani: "So far it's a lot weirder to me than the other stuff that we've done - it's a lot less accessible which I'm sure may be a shock to people.

"Obviously we've got a lot more melodic over the years. As of right now it's pretty weird. I don't know if I would use the word aggressive - it's just really a change. I honestly don't really know how to describe it."

He reports the band are approaching album sessions in a way in which they haven't done before and plan to record tracks in batches rather than do everything at the same time.
