    I've been waiting for this. Can't wait to hear the entire album! Found this from last year where Alain talks about it. Guess they kept the "funny name" after all :lol:

    From their website:

    Ten Commandos started early August 2008 after a conversation between Matt Cameron (Soundgarden, Pearl Jam) and Alain Johannes (Eleven, Queens of the Stone Age) following a memorial concert for Natasha Shneider (Eleven). Alain had the idea to write and record songs using Matt and Ben Shepherd (Soundgarden, Hater) as the rhythm section. The three convened in Seattle in late 2008 and for 7 days and wrote the bulk of the record. Matt and Alain’s schedules cleared up enough in the spring of 2014 to finally finish the songs in Seattle. With the addition of Dimitri Coats (OFF!, Burning Brides) on guitar, the band entered famed Studio Litho with engineer Don Gunn. In the summer of 2014, the band finished recording at studio 11ad in Hollywood CA. All members contributed in the writing of the record. Guest musicians include Mark Lanegan (Staring Down the Dust), NIkka Costa (Come) and legendary guitarist Peter Frampton (Sketch 9).

    No. Alain is the singer. Lanegan is featured on one song, and sounds like Nikka Costa is on another.

    PS That Antiquiet interview I posted a few posts up is kinda awesome. For those who don't want to click on the link, below is the part where Alain talks about this project (from a year ago). Sounds like Dimitri also sings.

    What about the project you’ve been working on with Ben Shepherd, Matt Cameron and Dimitri Coats? Does it have a name?

    AJ: We don’t know yet. We had The Ten Commandos as a funny name, but no official name yet. In 2008, the year Natasha passed away, I stayed at Matt’s house in Seattle for a week, and in the morning I would write some stuff on his wife’s acoustic. Then we’d go to Pearl Jam’s space with Ben, work up a song, and record a quick version of it. Some of them had vocals, some of them didn’t. And we didn’t have time to get together all those years because they were busy. And we finally got together earlier this year, in Seattle, and we went to Stone [Gossard]’s studio, and Dimitri joined the band. When I get home after this tour, we’re gonna finish five songs for an EP. So, we’ll put that out soon, it’ll be cool.

    Is everyone involved writing songs for it?

    AJ: Yes, definitely, everybody’s writing. Dimitri’s written three songs, Ben wrote a few songs, as well as Matt and me. So, we have a whole record, but we’ll have to finish it next year.

    And who’s singing?

    AJ: I’m singing. We have a special guest on one song, and Dimitri’s singing too, and obviously we’ll have Matt and Ben sing too, so that’ll be good. I love playing with those guys.

    It’s funny when everyone in a band is actually a lead singer in different projects. And Soundgarden have somebody to replace Matt Cameron while he’s out doing other stuff.

    AJ: Yeah, Matt Chamberlain is great, there’s no doubt about it, and Matt Cameron helped choose him too. I saw them in LA recently, and I got to hang out with Chamberlain at Chris Cornell’s birthday party, great guy.
