Suicidal Tendencies have indicated that Dave Lombardo will feature on their next album.

The band shared a clip of the former Slayer sticksman tracking drums in the studio, along with the caption: “Beating out today’s sermon in the Church of Suicidal, the Godfather of double-kick, Dave Lombardo! September 2016. You’ve been warned. #suicidaltendencies #suicidal #cyco #newrecord #september2016 #straightoutofvenice.”

In February it was announced that Lombardo would be touring with Suicidal Tendencies in place of their regular drummer Eric Moore. There’s been no official word on Moore’s status within the band.

Earlier this year, frontman Mike Muir praised Lombardo for his talent and his “musical mindset.”

Meanwhile, Suicidal Tendencies are touring Europe until next month.
