Ryan Adams will begin the vinyl pressing of his "most legit METAL record" next week, according to his (finally updated) website. 

Anyone who knows me, knows that I'm a bit Ryan crazy, but I was slightly worried about the metal aspect of this record.  But from listening to the song below (Electrosnake), I actually think it could be pretty good.  I know that I'll be buying a copy and probably end up paying a stupid amount of postage to get it to the UK, but a new LP by Ryan, metal or not, still gets me really excited.  

Here's what Ryan had to say about the album, posting as wolfhunter at the RAA:

"DUDE>.....It's a badass album srsly ruff ruff. Jamie Candiloro ( yes your FAVORITE PRODUCER OF ALL TIME FOLKS ) produced it ( we started it after ET but it's been in the works for about two years for realz. The joke about it never shipping is just that... and that nice man who say's that it doesn't sound good prolly never heard COC Animosity but we aren't all perfect. the art inside is CRAZY awesome!!! I can't tell ya'll anymore than that but it's R.A.D.
As a few people said, RAA style jams, it really wasn't meant to be anything other than a brutally badass thrash/ metal record. ESnake is disco compared to the speed and riff damage on the rest of the tracks and all I can say for the whole thing is two years is a long time to work on a badass album of riffs and this is the one for me. ESNake is the "Sailing"CCRoss song on the record. The rest is like the metal equivalent of "Doin the Neutron Dance" yall. RUFF!
A lot of folks who dig the sadbastardjams will NOT dig. No it isn't "Heartbreaker" because I already did that and frankly there is no reason to jump the grand canyon full of whiskey and misery soaked wet eared lullicakes twice. Besides, I don't have those pearl snaps anymore, they smelled like smoke ; )

Have a badass weekend. The poll already exceeded my numbers for a first pressing so far so that's awesome. Also for non vinyl folks don't sweat it- we will work that out... It's on vinyl because there is all this badass art in der.
Ruff ruff bark like a dog. Love yall.
