Arctic Monkeys are to get heavier on their new album, according to drummer Matt Helders.
"[It's] not 'heavy metal' heavy - just more aggressive. We're all into Queens Of The Stone Age. When we got to play with them and see them live it gave us a kick up the a***." Helders told NME.
"They are an inspiration, they show you can still have top tunes and loud, heavy songs, too. It's a lot more fun playing loud music - simple as that."
The band have not yet begun work on their third album, as frontman Alex Turner is currently touring the debut album with his other band The Last Shadow Puppets.
