Chevelle are set to unleash their new studio album ‘Hats Off to the Bull’ on Dec. 6, and the band is building up the excitement with the unveiling of its cover art and track listing.

The cover depicts a bull heading into the red cape of a bullfighter, while the track listing reveals such intriguing song titles as ‘The Meddler,’ ‘Piñata’ and ‘Prima Donna.’

‘Hats Off to the Bull’ features the first single ‘Face to the Floor,’ which also serves as the album’s opening track. The song, which we reviewed here, is inspired by the notorious actions of Ponzi schemer Bernie Madoff.

“The lyrics are about all the people who have been taken advantage of,” explains frontman Pete Loeffler. “He raked people over the coals, stole and is a terrible person. One day, these people have everything, and the next day it’s completely gone.”

Chevelle recently wrapped up a tour with Bush and Filter, but you can catch the band on Dec. 8 when they perform on ABC’s ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live.’
