Oasis have revealed that their new album will be called Dig Out Your Soul.
The LP, the veteran group's seventh studio release, will hit stores on October 26. The first single from the record, titled 'The Shock Of The Lightning', arrives on September 29.
Noel Gallagher explained the band's change in direction for the new album in a statement, saying: "I wanted to write music that had a groove, not songs that followed that traditional pattern of verse, chorus and middle eight.
"I wanted a sound that was more hypnotic, more driving. Songs that would draw you in, in a different way."
Gallagher added that the first single was the most traditional Oasis track on the album.
"It was written dead fast and recorded dead fast," he said. "'The Shock Of The Lightning' basically is the demo. And it has retained its energy. There's a lot to be said for that, I think. The first time you record something is always the best."

Teenagers Gig Ends In Stage Invasion
THE TEENAGERS' first gig in Australia resulted in a massive stage invasion.
NME magazine reports that some 50 audience members took to the stage for a rendition of the band's hit HOMECOMING.
According to the publication, the fans, helped by lead singer QUENTIN DELAFON, jumped up to join the group as they played the final song in their set.
Following the invasion, there had to be a brief interlude in the show as crew members reassembled the drum kit and mike stands.
During the rest of the Brisbane gig, the French trio treated fans to STARLETT JOHANSSON, FEELING BETTER and LOVE NO, plus a string of their other tunes.
BLOC PARTY's drummer MATT TONG accompanied the group.
The magazine adds that the band seemed to enjoy the gig as much as the fans, with Delafon saying "this is our first time in Australia, we love you already", as he finished the opening number.
Meanwhile, Delafon recently attributed the heavy swearing in THE TEENAGERS' songs to the fact they learned English from American films.
Speaking to Australian newspaper the Age, the singer said: "We just thought that this is super-normal, like just how people talk."

Nick Hogan: 'Solitary Confinement Isn't Fair'
Nick Bollea – or Nick Hogan as he’s known on Hogan Knows Best – yesterday filed a motion in court requesting that he be released from prison.
In May the 17-year-old was sentenced to eight months behind bars for the car crash that left his friend John Graziano with permanent brain injuries.
He is currently being held in solitary confinement in Florida’s Pinellas County Jail because he's too young to join the adult prison population – a situation which his attorney insists is “neither fair nor acceptable and creates a mental and physical health risk to a seventeen year old.”
The motion reads: "...the 17-year-old minor is being wrongly held in isolated lockdown in the Pinellas County Jail for up to 17 hours a day despite his status as a non-violent, first-time offender with no juvenile record."
The motion also complains that Bollea's phone conversations with his parents have been released to the media, reports My Fox Tampa Bay.
"The result has been a media blitz with a local and national media frenzy which is unprecedented and has resulted in unspeakable harm to Nicholas Bollea and his family," according to the attorney's statement.
Bollea's lawyer requests that he serve his sentence under house arrest until he turns 18 on July 27.

Although they barely receive credit, Suicide (isaac M. Singer Alan Vega and keyboardist Martin Rev) is the source point for well-nigh every synth pop duette that overfull the pop market place (specially in England) in the early '80s. Without the trailblazing Rev and Vega, in that respect would have been no Soft Cell, Erasure, Bronski Beat, Yaz, you identify 'em, and while many would recite you that that's nothing to crow around, the aforesaid synth-poppers simply appropriated Suicide's keyboards/singer take care and none of Rev and Vega's exceedingly confrontational performance style and love of dissonance. The few world Health Organization did (Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire) were considered besides extreme for nearly tastes.
Self-annihilation had been a portion of the playing arts setting in New York City's Lower East Side in the early/mid-'70s New York Dolls geological era. Their approaching to music was unsubdivided: Rev would create minimalistic, skittish, spellbinding washes of at variance keyboards and synthesizers, spell Vega sang, ranted, and clap neo-Beat lyrics in a rocky, disjointed mode. On level, Vega became confrontational, frequently baiting the crowd together into a lush frenzy that on occasion lED to full-blown violence, unremarkably with the crowd assaultive Vega. With their reputation as controversial performers solidified, what was missed was that Suicide recorded some surprisingly seductive and terrific euphony. A relationship with Cars brain Ric Ocasek proven successful, bringing their music to a wider audience and developing unbelievable fans (Bruce Springsteen went on phonograph recording as loving Suicide's Vietnam-vet saga "Frankie Teardrop"), just after legion breakups and reconciliations, Rev and Vega settled for organism more influential than commercially successful.
Ironically, the '90s proven to be a decennium of defense for Suicide with the rise of industrial dance music, Chicago's Wax Trax! label, and the bands associated with it (Repelling Cocks, Ministry, grand Homo DJs, etc.). Although non a big part of the scene anymore, the profound influence of Suicide on a generation of younger bands was readily patent. When the duette returned in 2002 with American Supreme, its number one studio press release in 10 years, much fanfare resulted, no dubiety substantially furthered by Vega's front about this time as a heavily profiled exhibitionist of artistic creation in New York, where he had presented a establish at the Jeffrey Dietch Gallery in New York earlier in the year.
