Weezer Debut 'Black Album' Artwork, Release Date and Debut 'Zombie Bastards'

Weezer officially announced a March 1 release date for their forthcoming The Black Album. It will drop just a week before the band embarks on a multi-date tour with the Pixies, TV On The Radio and Basement on March 8.   

The band also released their new song “Zombie Bastards” on Wednesday (Nov. 21) along with an eerie video. The visual shows thick black liquid dripping across a goggle-clad skull and pooling around a “W" in a style that resembles the album cover art.

Finally, Weezer has added a date at New York City's Madison Square Garden, as well as a handful of international tour dates.

Written entirely on piano by frontman Rivers Cuomo, The Black Album borrows inspiration from acts like Gorillaz, Can and Pink Floyd, while cycling through a diverse selection of instruments. Weezer's new album is available for pre-order now.
