Here's the news you've all been waiting for: Insane Clown Posse will release their eleventh studio album, Bang! Pow! Boom!, on Sept. 1 through Psychopathic Records.

The disc was produced by Mike E. Clark, who produced Insane Clown Posse's earliest albums and was recorded over six weeks. Bang! Pow! Boom! doesn't have a definite track list yet, but the songs confirmed to appear on it are as follows: "Chop Chop Slide," "Fondz Pond," "To Catch A Predator," "The Bong," "Bing Bong," "Juggalo Island" and "I Found A Body."

You can hear a sampler of songs from Bang! Pow! Boom! at ICP's website.

Evil clowns Violent J (real name Joseph Bruce) and Shaggy 2 (real name Joseph Utsler) formed Insane Clown Posse in 1989. Their Carnival Of Carnage debut album came out three years later and they've since released nine more albums.

They also have pretty extensive wrestling careers and have appeared on Extreme Championship Wrestling, World Wrestling Federation and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling programs. They run their own league, Juggalo Championship Wrestling.

No tour dates have been announced in support of Bang! Pow! Boom! yet, but when they are, be careful Violent J doesn't live up to his name and hit you 30 times with his microphone, like he did to an audience member at a 1997 show in Albuquerque, N.M. That makes Crystal Castles look weak.
