As the interview winded down, and as the band prepped for dinner before taking the stage for the show, I brought up the third album again. What's it going to sound like? Is it going to be as dark as "Reign?" Probably not.
"I wanted to make a metal record with a different context - without being self-serious. I wanted to play guitar again. Reign of Terror comes from a horrible period of my life. I just needed to get it out of my system," Miller said. Of album #3, he said, "Sonically, it's a lot more clean...it might sound surprising."
Krauss said you can expect her to use her voice more "melodically" with a hint of R&B. "I use my voice in more of a, dare I say, traditional way," she said. "We're fully collaborating now."
Miller said it also marks the first Sleigh Bells album that, for him, feels like a true collaboration.
