Jack Black might be busy promoting his new film Year One, but he’s already writing songs for his band, Tenacious D’s new album.

Jack Black and bandmate Kyle Gass will follow-up to 2006's The Pick Of Destiny when they finish their current projects, marking the third album from the rather bizarre musical comics.

Speaking to Zoo, Black said: "There's a new album in our minds, but we're yet to put it down on tape. When we're done with the projects we're working on, we'll put our nose to the grindstone every day - I guarantee you. At least two hours a day.

"I can tell you the names of some of the songs we've been working on: 'Dethstarr', spelled differently to avoid a lawsuit. It's epic. It starts as a space ballad, then goes to very, very hard rock. Then back to spacey ballad again."

Black added that other songs included 'Quantum Leap' and 'Rise Of The Phoenix', with the latter being a necessary comeback tune after their "film was a floparoo".

Great, so this new album is going to be Space-tastic then? Any chance I can have your Year One castmate, Michael Cera when you’re done with him then Mr Black? Please.
