Def Leppard have revealed the album art for their forthcoming album and also that it will be self-titled. The album is currently slated for U.S. release on October 30 and frontman Joe Elliott shared some info with UltimateClassicRock.com.
"It's just called Def Leppard because that's what it sounds like. It doesn't sound like any one specific era of Def Leppard," said Elliott.
"It's got everything. You'll listen and you go 'Oh, that sounds like Def Leppard' or you'll go 'That is Leppard, but sounds a bit like Led Zeppelin or Queen but you can hear the AC/DC or the Crosby, Stills and Nash coming through," he said.
"We have not shied away from anything that's influenced us in our growing up periods of our life. Just because we've made the kind of music we've made doesn't mean to say we don't like all of this other stuff."a
