Las Vegas stars The Killers have promised that their forthcoming new album "is going to have more guitars". 

The band's 2008 offering, 'Day and Age', presented a more modern pop-orientated sound than their previous records, but drummer Ronnie Vannucci explained to the NME that a return to their rock roots is both on the horizon and overdue. 

"The next album is going to have more guitars. It’s about fucking time! In October we’re going to start recording in Nashville. It’s up in the air who's going to produce it, I can’t officially say."

"All last month we’ve been writing some great Killers songs, it’s really happening. I’m really looking forward to doing this next record it’s going to sound fucking great", he added.
