Valient Thorr reveal their 2008 plans as Earth Dwellers

Volcom Entertainment's thrash-metal unit Valient Thorr have announced that their follow-up to 2006's Legend Of The World will drop sometime in Summer '08. The band will begin the recording process next month with Jack Endino (Nirvana, Soundgarden, Mudhoney, High On Fire). Currently you can catch a glimpse of the Venusian rockers on their U.S. tour with Black Cobra and the Sword.

VT's Valient Himself:

"Man, we're psyched to begin working with Jack on the new album. Not only because of his discography, but after meeting him out on the Volcom Tour, I realized he was just as big of a record obsessive as I was. Check out his meticulously detailed website, we could geek out on it for hours about hard to find badass tunes. The dude knows his sh*t back to front. This record is going to be over the top."
