It has been a while since the last Godsmack studio album. 'The Oracle' was released in May of 2010, although the live album 'Live & Inspired' came out last year. Now comes word that the band is working on their next album.

Godsmack revealed the news on their Facebook page (see below) with a short and simple post: "That's right motherf--kers! We are in FL writing for the next album!"

The band took some time off in 2013 to recharge their batteries and allow members to work on other projects. Frontman Sully Erna played some solo shows, and also resumed his poker playing career.

Erna also did some movie work this year, playing a lead role in the film 'Army of the Damned.' He plays a sheriff who uncovers more than he bargained for when answering a domestic disturbance call.

The horror movie also features Tony Todd ('Candyman'), Jasmin St. Claire, David Chokachi ('Baywatch') and 'N Sync's Joey Fatone. It's set for a 2014 release.
