Limp Bizkit are back in the studio recording the follow-up to 2021’s Still Sucks.
Frontman Fred Durst offered the update on Instagram, where he shared a story of John Otto tracking drums for the new material.
“Oh shit, in the studio with John Otto … we ’bout to lay it down with those drumsticks dawg,” said Durst in the clip. “Let’s get that funky funky. Let’s get that Limp Bizkit popping off.”
While no music can be heard, a second clip did feature Otto playing a snappy, pocketed beat, with Durst adding the caption: “HUMAN DRUM MACHINE.”
The nu-metal band appears to be using its downtime between tours to record new material. Durst and company do have a busy 2025 itinerary ahead, including an upcoming European/UK run and North American dates supporting Metallica’s “M72” tour (get tickets here).
Still Sucks marked Limp Bizkit’s first album in 10 years, following 2011’s Gold Cobra. Overall, the band has released seven albums since forming in 1994.
As previously reported, Durst and Limp Bizkit recently filed a lawsuit against Universal Music for $200 million, claiming the band “never received any royalties” until recently.
In the lawsuit, filed on October 8th, Durst’s lawyers allege that Limp Bizkit and “possibly hundreds of other artists” have “unfairly had their royalties wrongfully withheld for years” due to a “fraudulent” system created by Universal Music.
The suit claims UMG’s failure to issue royalty statements in particular from 1997-2004 — the band’s commercial height — “suggests that UMG was intentionally concealing the true amount of sales, and therefore royalties, due and owing to Limp Bizkit in order to unfairly keep those profits for itself.”
