''Rize of the Fenix'' is the third studio album by American rock band Tenacious D. Produced by John Kimbrough, it was released in North America on May 15, 2012 by Columbia Records. In addition to core members Jack Black and Kyle Gass, the album also marks the return of John Konesky (electric guitar), John Spiker (bass) and Dave Grohl (drums), who have performed on previous Tenacious D albums. The album was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album at the 2013 edition. ==Background and recording== In November 2006, Jack Black expressed wishes to take a year-long break from acting, though Kyle Gass hinted a desire for Tenacious D to end at their current highpoint. However, Black confirmed that a third album would be recorded by announcing that a new song has been written for it entitled "Deth Starr". He said that the album would likely be released in 2010, but on other occasions he mentioned the year 2012. In early 2008, Black announced that the band was working on a new album, Gass later commented that the new album only has "one to one and a half" songs written for it, and would like to write between twelve and fifteen.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tenacious D 'One-And-A-Half Songs' Into Next Album )〕 Music magazine ''Billboard'' quoted Black as revealing that "We just laid down a hot () we're calling it the bomb track. It's a very powerful recording called "Deth Starr" () so it has nothing to do with the ''Star Wars'' At one point, Gass hinted that the band's third album may be called ''Tenacious D 3-D'', reasoning that "It's the third record, so it should probably be Tenacious 3-D''.' There's going to be a '3' and a 'D,' so you have to connect them." Dave Grohl confirmed that he would appear as the drummer on the album, after performing on both ''Tenacious D'' and ''The Pick of Destiny''. In an interview with Spinner.com in December 2010, Black revealed that the band was "about halfway through the writing process" for its new album, telling fans to expect the release of new material "at the end of 2011".〔() 〕 In terms of lyrical themes for the new songs, Black noted that "We're gonna be talking about love, there are gonna be some songs about sex and there's gonna be songs about food".〔 In a May 2011 interview at ''Attack of the Show'', Black announced that three songs on their upcoming album would be named "Rize of the Fenix", distinguishable by either letter or number. Also in the same interview, he named another song called "Señorita". John Konesky has estimated that the new album will come out "in spring 2012". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rize of the Fenix」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
