Original Queens Of The Stone Age bassist, Nick Oliveri, has claimed he will reunite with the band for a few songs at the group's upcoming Halloween gig at Los Angeles' Forum.

"Josh (Homme) asked me to come up and do six songs with Queens, like an encore set," the bassist told NME . "A reunion, but not a reunion. I'm going to get up and play some bass and sing some songs at the end of the show. It should be an interesting night."

Nick Oliveri's debut solo album, Leave Me Alone, is having its North American release moved from September to late-October. Produced by Oliveri himself, recorded by Harper Hug and Trevor Whatever, and mixed by Mathias Schneeberger the album will be released via Schnitzel Records on October 28th.

Many artists struggle to establish their musical identity; Nick Oliveri has forged his through a long career of hard work and full command over his craft and his music including stints in Kyuss, Queens Of The Stone Age, Mondo Generator and more recently Bl'ast and Dean Ween's Moistboyz. His new album, Leave Me Alone, is a powerfully captivating (and rocking!) proof of his multi-talented personality.

 

Recorded at Thunder Underground Studios in Palm Springs, CA. Oliveri plays all the instruments on this recording, including drums, guitar, bass and vocals. It features guitar solos from some special guests though, namely Phil Campbell from Motörhead, Dean Ween (aka Mickey Moist) from Ween and Moistboyz, Stephen Haas from Moistboyz, Mike Pygmie from Mondo Generator, Marc Diamond from The Dwarves and Bruno Fevery from Kyuss Lives! and Vista Chino. There's also a guest vocal by Blag Dahlia from The Dwarves.

 

 

The first track, "Human Cannonball Explodes" (featuring lead guitar by Dean Ween) can be heard below:

Oliveri will spend most of 2014 on the road. Playing both acoustic and with his new band, Uncontrollable.
