“Oh shit, in the studio with John Otto… we're about to leave him with those drumsticks, man,” Durst said in the clip. “Let's put on that funky funky. Let’s blow up that Limp Bizkit.”
While no music can be heard, in a second clip Otto is seen playing a snappy, compact beat, and Durst adds the caption: “HUMAN DRUM MACHINE.”
The nu-metal band appears to be taking advantage of their downtime between tours to record new material. Durst and company have a busy 2025 schedule ahead, including an upcoming European and UK tour and North American dates to support Metallica's “M72” tour (get tickets here).
it still sucks marked Limp Bizkit's first album in 10 years, following 2011's golden cobra. In total, the band has released seven albums since their formation in 1994.
As previously reported, Durst and Limp Bizkit recently filed a $200 million lawsuit against Universal Music, claiming the band “never received royalties” until recently.
In the lawsuit, filed Oct. 8, Durst's attorneys allege that Limp Bizkit and “possibly hundreds of other artists” have had their royalties “unfairly withheld for years” due to a “fraudulent” system created by Universal Music.
The lawsuit claims that UMG's failure to issue royalty statements, particularly between 1997 and 2004 (the band's commercial heyday), “suggests that UMG was intentionally concealing the true amount of sales, and therefore, royalties, owed to Limp Bizkit to unfairly keep those profits for himself.”
