The absurdly durable alt-funk quartet are preparing for their eleventh album and first since 2011's I'm With You. Singer Anthony Kiedis told Rolling Stone this October that the group has written several songs over the past year, although the prevalence of modern-day recording devices has kept them from playing any in their live sets. Kiedis also stated that RHCP was collaborating with producer Danger Mouse for the LP: "He's very good about coming up with super-modern ideas, but he'll also touch on the acoustic guitar in the control room and strip the song down to its acoustic essentials, which is a beautiful place to be."

Tool is free! It's been practically a decade since the release of the hard-art-rock titans' last studio album, 10,000 Days. Though they hit the road nationally a few times in those 10 ensuing years, as it turned out, they spent a good chunk of the time wrapped up in a lawsuit with an insurance company. With the lawsuit settled and the ensuing creativity-drain gone, Maynard James Keenan and company are back at it. This month, they'll hit the road with Primus, and guitarist Adam Jones told Rolling Stone last year that they've made major progress on a new album, due out this year. "Things are really flowing and going really well, and I'm just blown away at the stuff that's coming together," he said. "I'm excited and can't wait for it to be done."

It all started with a rare tweet from Trent Reznor's official account: "New NIN coming in 2016. Other stuff, too." This follows the positive reception of Nine Inch Nails' otherwise understated, synth-heavy 2013 album Hesitation Marks – as well as its corresponding art book, Cargo in the Blood, released last December. "It's not an album I'm trying to finish in a month," Reznor told Rolling Stone last June, "It's more just feeling around in the dark and seeing what sounds interesting. It's nice to do that every few years to try and reinvent and discover and try to learn about yourself and what feels exciting to you as an artist."

Soundgarden always vowed that if they'd ever reunite after their 1997 breakup, it would be to resume the band's creative path and not just play the hits. The band stayed true to that promise with 2012's thorny, hard-rocking King Animal. And though they've taken a break from playing live in the last few months as frontman Chris Cornell toured for his solo album Higher Truth, it appears that the band's 7th full-length is somewhere on the horizon. "We're already working on material for a new album," Cornell told Rolling Stone in August.

After spending 2015 touring with Marilyn Manson, which Smashing Pumpkins leader Billy Corgan insisted was not a nostalgia tour, the alt-rocker promised a "very exciting" and "very futuristic" record – and called statements that this might be the end of the band's catalog "clickbait." "I've basically said the Smashing Pumpkins dies when I die," he told Rolling Stone. His newest album, originally titled Day For Night, is a follow-up to 2012's Oceania and 2014's Monuments to an Elegy, all a part of the 44-track Teargarden by Kaleidyscope song cycle. The title was changed because, as Corgan wrote, "in order to rewrite everything, or write anew, I had to think that maybe my initial conception of what DAY FOR NIGHT would stand for (which was some kind of end) was misguided. So let’s say this'll be more of a farewell to MONUMENTS funerary."
