Umea, Sweden's (International) Noise Conspiracy are set to hit the studio this coming Monday. The band will again record with famed producer Rick Rubin (Johnny Cash, Slayer, Rage Against The Machine). From their website:

On Monday Feb 19 we're all finally getting on a plane bound for Los Angeles to commence pre-production and sessions to record the follow-up album to Armed Love. It's been a long time and at this point we're more excited than we've ever been to get in the studio. We'll keep you updated throughout the process.

The band released Armed Love in 2005. The album, also produced by Rubin, had a troubled release in North America as it remained shelved for months due to a distribution-related issues at their US label American Recordings.
