Rocker Tommy Lee is bringing back his nu-metal band Methods Of Mayhem, nine years after they split.

The drummer formed the group with rapper TiLo back in 1999 after quitting Motley Crue.

They released an eponymous debut album the same year, but split just 12 months later.

Nine years on, Methods of Mayhem are back and have signed a new deal with Roadrunner Records.

Lee is preparing to hit the studio with guitarist Kai Marcus and DJ Aero - who were involved in the band's original conception - to begin work on new material.

Methods of Mayhem will be a side-project for Lee - he reunited with Motley Crue in 2004 and the band is currently on their Crue Fest 2 tour.
