Weezer Fights 'Zombie Bastards,' Gives New 'Black Album' Details

Last month, Weezer announced their 12th studio album (and fifth in their self-titled series), The Black Album. On Wednesday (November 21), the band gave fans something to be thankful for on Thanksgiving Eve by sharing more details surrounding the upcoming release.

The album was produced by TV On The Radio's Dave Sitek and sees the alt rock legends experimenting more than ever before. Every song was conceived by Rivers Cuomo on piano, which was a first, and many of the band members tried out different instruments during the recording process. 

Aside from detailing The Black Album, the band also gifted fans with another new song off the record. "Zombie Bastards" is a catchy sing along that shows the band playing around with hip hop beats. Listen to the new track below, and don't be mad if the chorus gets stuck in your head.

"Zombie Bastards" follows the album's lead single, "Can't Knock the Hustle." The Black Album is slated for a March 1, 2019 release and can be pre-ordered here. After the album drops, Weezer hits the road with fellow indie rock icons the Pixies.
