So what inspires Papa Roach to write a new album? How 'bout putting a little love, hate and tragedy to give the Sacramento natives some new angst to spit.

Following their triple-platinum major label debut, Infest, Papa Roach will release their sophomore effort, lovehatetragedy, on June 25.

Frontman Coby Dick (now going by his real name, Jacoby Shaddix) and the rest of the band are reportedly on their way to Atlanta to finish recording vocal tracks for the highly-anticipated record, scheduled for completion by March. The majority of the songs for the album were written while touring with Ozzfest, recording song demos on a portable studio.

Hopefully, this on-the-road approach will make for some spirited high-energy songs. Hardcore PR fans will be excited to find the added bonus of "Walking Trough Barbwire," a reworked song that originally appeared on an early EP.

Brendan O'Brien , who's worked with Pearl Jam , RATM and Korn , will take on production duties. While the band haven't released too many details about the album, they have offered up a tentative track listing:
"Explosive Energy Movement"
"Time And Time Again"
"The Heart Of Darkness"
"Sid"
"Black Clouds"
"Code Of Energy"
"She Loves Me Not"
"Walking Through Barbwire"
"Decompression Period"
"Born With Nothing, Die With Everything"
