The new album features ideas from ex-The Acacia Strain guitarist Daniel "DL" Laskiewicz.

Unearth recently revealed they were writing the follow-up to 2014's Watchers Of Rule. Perhaps more importantly in that revelation is that they were penning the effort with ex-The Acacia Strain guitarist Daniel "DL" Laskiewicz, who played with his ex-band from 2001 to 2013. Now Unearth guitarist Buz McGrath revealed to Talk About The Passion that he's been told the band will hit the studio in March and that "we got probably twenty songs written, so no shortage of material."

McGrath also spoke on the band's collaboration with DL, saying it was great to have a pair of fresh ears involved in the writing of Unearth's seventh album.

"We bounce ideas off him. Because we just needed to get a third person into the mix, like riff-wise. Me and Ken [Susi] have been writing the same record for however many years, so let’s like let some other guys stuff in there. That’s been working out great. Whenever I hear a fresh idea with our stuff—that’s scratching my itch. My shit to me sounds like the same stuff over and over again. You try to dig yourself out of that hole and sometimes you do, but a lot of times it’s difficult."

McGrath also revealed in the same interview, as transcribed by The PRP, that Unearth "are confirmed for a popular summer festival tour—whose name I can not name, 'cause it’s not announced." The only one that immediately comes to mind is Summer Slaughter, which usually starts around the end of July. So if Unearth is really hitting the studio in March, the tour might line up with the album's release date too.

Let the speculation begin!
