Aerosmith are expected to release their new album in May.

Posting online, producer Jack Douglas had this to say about the as yet untitled record:

“The new album should be out around May 2012. I know that’s a long wait, but after the South American tour and Japan in October, November and December, we will just get back to work on it in mid-January.

“For those who are asking, this album will be raw, nasty, tough rock with a good deal of the old Aerosmith tongue in cheek.”
