Foo Fighters Promise Eclectic Sixth Album

The Foo Fighters will release their sixth album, Echoes, Silence, Patience And Grace, on Sept. 25 via RCA.

The 12-track record was produced by Gil Norton (Pixies, Echo & The Bunnymen), who also helmed 1997's The Colour And The Shape, which is being reissued in a deluxe 10th anniversary edition on Tuesday.

"There's four-piece rock band shit, but then there are songs where the middle sections turn into this mass orchestrated swarm and ridiculous time signatures," singer/guitarist Dave Grohl told Billboard.com about the new record.

One of the new songs is "The Ballad Of The Beaconsfield Miners," which was inspired by two Tasmanian miners who were trapped underground for two weeks and requested an iPod with Foos songs on it to help them get through their ordeal. It features an appearance by guitarist Kaki King.

The Foo Fighters performed at London, England's Wembley Stadium on Saturday as part of Live Earth and have a number of shows lined up for the U.K., U.S. and Australia through the rest of the year. No Canadian dates have been announced.

Here are the songs on Echoes, Silence, Patience And Grace:

"The Pretender"
"Let It Die"
"Erase Replace"
"Long Road To Ruin"
"Come Alive"
"Stranger Things Have Happened"
"Cheer Up Boys, Your Makeup Is Running"
"Summer's End"
"The Ballad Of The Beaconsfield Miners"
"Statues"
"But Honestly"
"Home"
