On Valentine’s Day 2007, the band’s official website announced the new album would be titled Era Vulgaris , and would be released in June. Later in February, teaser videos surfaced showing Homme, Castillo, Van Leeuwen and Johannes in studio. Several sites reported that the album would include many guest vocalists, including Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails, Julian Casablancas from The Strokes , Mark Lanegan, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, and deceased humorist Erma Bombeck . Death from Above 1979 bassist Jesse F. Keeler had been expected to play bass on the studio recording of the album, but not to tour; however, due to schedule conflicts, he stated he would not be appearing on the album.
