Incubus will release a two-disc greatest hits collection called Monuments And Melodies on June 16 through Epic and will tour in support of it this summer.

The compilation's first disc will feature hits from the band's career and two new songs recorded with producer Brendan O'Brien (Korn, Pearl Jam). One of those tracks, "Black Heart Inertia," will come out as a single on April 16. Monuments And Melodies' second disc will include rarities and cover songs. The album's artwork was designed by singer Brandon Boyd.

Fans who buy physical copies of Monuments And Melodies will get a code that will let them access bonus material through "The Vault," a special section of Incubus' website that the band will launch in conjunction with the album's release. It will include audio, video and photos of the band.

There's still no word on an official follow-up to 2006's Light Grenades, although Incubus have suggested it could be released sometime next year. Boyd told Billboard.com last year that the band were going to take a break so he and guitarist Mike Einziger could attend university and drummer Jose Padillas' wife could have a baby.
