ROB ZOMBIE guitarist JOHN 5 was recently interviewed by Amber Rose of Australia's Metal Obsession, an excerpt follows:

You have your seventh solo studio album, Careful With That Axe, coming out later this year. Is there anything you can tell us about it?

J5: "You know I’m working on it and just mixing it right now, it is crazy. If people liked my earlier work, you’re going to be really excited about it. It’s really intense. When you listen to it it’s like, 'what just happened?', which is one of the song titles. It’s really exciting I can’t wait for people to hear it."
