The Arctic Monkeys are slated to release their third album on Aug. 25.

The as-yet-untitled record will be the English band's first since 2007's Favourite Worst Nightmare in 2007, which debuted at #1 on the U.K. albums chart.

The 10-song album was produced by Josh Homme (Queens Of The Stone Age, Eagles Of Death Metal) in the Mojave Desert, and James Ford (Simian Mobile Disco, The Last Shadow Puppets) in Brooklyn, New York.

Lead singer/guitarist Alex Turner told BBC 6Music last year that the upcoming record will include six tracks the band had been playing while on tour. It will be released on CD, vinyl and will be available at digital outlets. Turner told NME.com that the band could release "Cornerstone" or "Secret Door" as the first single.

Diddy's new pals released Arctic Monkeys Live At The Apollo, a live CD/DVD package, earlier this year.

Here's the tracklisting for the upcoming new Arctic Monkeys album:

"My Propeller"
"Crying Lightning"
"Dangerous Animals"
"Secret Door"
"Potion Approaching"
"Fire And The Thud"
"Cornerstone"
"Dance Little Liar"
"Pretty Visitors"
"The Jeweller's Hands"
