Courtney Love has announced the resurrection of Hole, but also revealed that the band will have a brand new lineup.

The singer told NME that her long-awaited album Nobody's Daughter will be released under the name of the group that split up in 2002.

The record features ex-Larrikin Love guitarist Micko Larkin and heavy metal string quartet Apocalyptica, while original bandmember Melissa auf der Maur features in a limited role.

Love said: "The rock Courtney didn't really go away, but I needed a rock partner. I have my rock partner now. I am old enough to be his cool auntie.

"[The album went] from being an aspiration of Blood On The Tracks to Diamond Dogs. It's huge like a big, fist-shaped hole."

The album will be produced by Michael Beinhorn, who worked on 1998's Celebrity Skin.
