In a new interview with Noisey, Danzig discussed his progress on a new album. During the chat, he said the effort is “about three-quarters done.”

Here’s what he had to say:

“There’s always stuff to write about, but I think that the whole punk thing helped a lot. If it gets boring, change it, fix it, make it exciting, make it relevant again, and that’s what I did without sacrificing the music. That’s what I try to do. I try to do stuff where first thing is I’m excited about the record, and then I hope that the people who listen to my music are gonna dig it too.

That’s pretty much how I go into doing a record, and I don’t do a new record until I have stuff to write about it. I don’t force myself to do a record. Someone doesn’t come to me and say, “Hey, it’s been a year or two since your last record. You’ve gotta write a record and put one out in a couple of months.” No one comes to me and says that to me. The covers record I’ve been working on for a while, but the last new Danzig material came out in 2010.

The new record is about three-quarters done, and by the time that comes out it’ll have been probably about six years since the last time you heard any new original Danzig material. Not a covers record or not this Danzig Sings Elvis record, so it’ll be six years.”

On another note, Danzig’s covers album, Skeletons, will be released on November 27.
