Eagles of Death Metal Prep Second Album

Cannibal Corpse fans, turn away now: these dudes don't roll like you do. The Eagles of Death Metal are as metal, let alone DEATH metal, as my tiny Indian grandmother is.

But that's OK, because their sassy dance beatz will make you forget the misnomer. The dance party continues for EoDM with their sophomore album, Death by Sexy, due out next Tuesday, April 11 on Downtown Records.

Death by tracklisting:

01 I Want You So Hard (Boy's Bad News)
02 I Gotta Feeling (Just Nineteen)
03 Cherry Cola
04 I Like to Move in the Night
05 Solid Gold
06 Don't Speak (I Came to Make a BANG!)
07 Keep Your Head Up
08 The Ballad of Queen Bee and Baby Duck
09 Poor Doggie
10 Chase the Devil
11 Eagles Goth
12 Shasta Beast
13 Bag O' Miracles

EoDM, which includes frontman Jesse "the Devil" Hughes and Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme (who produced Death by Sexy and plays drums for the band), are currently wrapping up a tour supporting the Strokes. Before they peace out on the live dates, they'll wrap it up at Coachella where they'll be joined by Downtown labelmates Art Brut and Gnarls Barkley, among many others. Obviously.

The band has also completed a video for the first single from the album, "I Want You So Hard (Boy's Bad News)", that features not only Homme and Hughes but Jack Black and Homme's sometimes QOTSA-partner Dave Grohl. The video was directed by Akiva Schaffer of The Lonely Island (the comedic filmmaking/writing collective that also includes Jorma Taccone and Andy Samberg of SNL/Narnia fame). You can watch the video here on The Lonely Island website.
