Dave Grohl works with Novoselic, Vig

Dave Grohl has revealed that he is working with former Nirvana bandmate Krist Novoselic for the new Foo Fighters album.

Speaking to Radio 1, Grohl said that Novoselic has recorded a bass line on a track for the upcoming project.

He also said that Butch Vig, who last worked with Grohl on Nirvana's 1991 LP Nevermind, is producing the record, as well as filming a documentary about the process.

Grohl explained: "The last month and a half we've been in my garage recording totally old-school analogue with Butch Vig.

"This whole project has been really cool because I haven't made a record with Butch in 20 years, almost exactly 20 years."

The former Nirvana drummer added that the new album will be the Foo Fighters' "heaviest yet".
