As much as I would just like to make cover-to-cover metal, there's probably gonna be songs for the people who like the more melodic love songs, and there's probably gonna be the heavy stuff too.' I believe that's probably what's gonna happen. I think we're gonna have everything across the board, really. 'There's gonna be the songs that people will wanna listen to when they're having a fun social event, and there's gonna be other songs when you wanna do the steering-wheel drums and bash away at something that's got a heavy metal kind of bent to it. 'If I had to predict, I would say there's probably gonna be a wide-ranging body of work here,' he added. It's not like we have the thing in the can - it's not all recorded - so we're still finding out what's gonna happen.

It's so easy, right? You wanna get some clicks? That's one way of doing it.'ДЄsked if he thinks the next NICKELBACK album will follow a heavier direction, like 'Feed The Machine', or if it will feature a more commercial sound, Mike said: 'I really hope it's heavier, just 'cause that's what makes my pulse go up. 'I think it was more of a clickbait thing than anything else, because just consider it - a guy from NICKELBACK says they wanna make a SLAYER cover album. Well, the drummer does Daniel, he likes SLAYER. I wouldn't mind being involved in something like that personally, just because that's the kind of music I listen to, but the rest of my band doesn't share my taste in things like SLAYER. 'Now, as far as NICKELBACK going ahead and making a power metal album, that isn't gonna happen. And we, I think, executed that, and our fans have given us the approval that we did, in fact, make a good hard rock record. But the fact is when we did 'Feed The Machine', there was a real intent to make it firmly a rock album - a hard rock record. And that was maybe a mistake on my part, 'cause I left it too easy to be reinterpreted. What I said was that I, Mike, personally would like to do a SLAYER cover record - not NICKELBACK. He has now doubled down on those comments, telling the WSOU radio station in a new interview (hear audio below): 'There was a little bit of context manipulation in that Wall Of Sound interview.

Kroeger later offered a different take on the possibility of recording a SLAYER covers album, explaining that he never said NICKELBACK as a band would partake in such a project. There are just never enough hours in the day to do everything, but let's just say I wouldn't count it out.' I would do a SLAYER cover album if I could. We all know everything about the 'Big Four' - METALLICA, MEGADETH, ANTHRAX and SLAYER. I know that we're all - on differing scales - metalheads at our core. NICKELBACK bassist Mike Kroeger has once again clarified his comments about his desire to make a super-heavy album with his band one day.Д«ack in January 2019, Kroeger told Australia's Wall Of Sound that metal is 'what I listen to without fail,' adding that 'if we could actually sink in and do a metal album, all four of us would love it.
