Contributed by an Anonymous Source. Posted by aubin on Wednesday, July 15, 2009 at 10:30 AM (EDT)

Yep Roc has announced a new album from Reverend Horton Heat. The record is their first (non-holiday) album since 2004's Revival and is described as the "'billy' side of rockabilly," with more influence from mid-20th century country music.

The album will be released September 1, 2009 and a deluxe edition will feature a custom metal speedometer packaging designed by Gamil Design, a bonus CD of some of artists covering The RHH songs and a commemorative shot glass. The band will kick off a tour for the album with headlining dates in the US followed by a US tour with Motorhead getting underway 8/28 in Minneapolis.

careful, don't want to outpace yourselves and burn out like D4 did...

MattRamone (July 15, 2009)

Like most of the recent albums from the Rev, it'll have two great songs and three okay songs rounded out by filler.

And they'll still kill it live.

SloaneDaley (July 15, 2009)

don't count you chickens while the sun shines, Matt.

MattRamone (July 15, 2009)

The paper tiger's gauntlet has been cast!

Devidence (July 15, 2009)

Completely agree.

Phantom_Maggot (July 15, 2009)

Well said, sir.

BarleyPat (July 15, 2009)

Agreed.

Mammoth (July 15, 2009)

The Reverend makes a lot of local girls moist.

14theroad (July 15, 2009)

Are there pictures of these girls?

SloaneDaley (July 15, 2009)

the word "moist" is the most disgusting thing.

PoliticsOfStarving (July 15, 2009)

This is truth.

badbrain (July 15, 2009)

moist like a fox

Mammoth (July 15, 2009)

Oddly enough, my bread is pretty moist today.

24HourPriapism (July 15, 2009)

let me guess, they all really really love bettie page's style and have shoulder blade or clavicle tattoos of swallows/something gambling related too.

and they all wear bandannas rosie-the-riveter style a lot.

MattRamone (July 15, 2009)

They have fuzzy dice on their rearview.

24HourPriapism (July 15, 2009)

and their car (and at least one article of clothing at all times) is almost exclusively leopard-print everything in every color except the natural orange-beige.

Mammoth (July 15, 2009)

The same girls that go gaga over The Horrorpops.

24HourPriapism (July 15, 2009)

there are quite a many that are smoking hot. but yeah, predictable as hell.

Phantom_Maggot (July 15, 2009)

Zing!

Devidence (July 15, 2009)

What a great thread.

I_Rock_Hard (July 15, 2009)

saw them live a couple years ago w/ crass. NOT impressed.

Preston (July 15, 2009)

I used to be a huge fan, but, chances are, I'll never listen to this.

PoliticsOfStarving (July 15, 2009)

I like the NN2S comic strip about RHH.

and now, to bed!

JaredK (July 15, 2009)

Liquor in the Front and Full Custom Gospel Sounds were both great...then they seemed to dick with their sound (keyboards, lounge, etc) and I haven't liked much since then. Hopefully this will be a return to their earlier stuff...but how often does that actually happen.

Devidence (July 15, 2009)

'Lucky 7' was pretty solid, 'Revival' wasn't much. This album sounds more like it will follow 'Spend a Night in the Box' with its heavy country record.

Holy_Hack_Ben (July 15, 2009)

Yay new Rev. Anyone else going to see them in Austin in Sept?
