Rap-metal act Limp Bizkit is preparing to enter the studio and begin recording their fifth album, according to a posting on the band's official website by guitarist Wes Borland. The newly returned band member wrote in part, "We're packing up and heading north to record a new album. Los Angeles is too comfortable for us, so we have to leave our everyday lives behind...do you think we can hammer it out before Christmas? We'll see. Let's get down to brass tacks here. I've been gone for a long time. I don't regret anything that's happened over the past 3 years. It couldn't have happened any other way. I had some time to explore some other things, and after searching I came to the conclusion that this band was not an accident. There is a chemistry here that I haven't found anywhere else."

Borland adds that the band is "very excited" about the new music they're writing and about working again with producer Ross Robinson, who helmed their 1997 debut disc, Three Dollar Bill, Y'All.

In a separate posting at his own website, Borland wrote that he is also still working on his solo record and has "about 75 percent of all the music" recorded. He adds that this project will be put on hold until mid-January, when he returns from making the new Limp Bizkit disc.

Borland left Limp Bizkit in 2001 and returned to the lineup this past August. While he was gone, the band recorded one album, 2003's Results May Vary, with former Snot guitarist Mike Smith.
