Biffy Clyro frontman Simon Neil has spoken about the band's new album, revealing how he's written a "beatbox song", a "black metal pop song", and some "stoner reggae shit". 

Speaking to the NME, Neil explained how he's been experimenting with a wide variety of genres during the creation of what will be their seventh album - although not all of them will necessarily be making the final cut. 

"I've written about 14 songs. I'm really fucking excited about it at the moment," Neil enthused. "I don't want people to think the whole album sounds like this, but I've written my first ever beatbox song, and I've written a black metal pop song which I can't wait for people to hear. There's also some cool stoner reggae shit going on, believe it or not. It's really exciting."

However, fans may have to wait a while until they hear the eclectic concoctions the Scottish band have come up with. Neil recently told XFM they won't start recording the LP until the "start of next year", and it will "possibly" be released at the end of 2015.

Biffy Clyro will headline this year's T in the Park and Isle of Wight festivals. For more information and tickets, visit Gigwise Tickets.
