In a newly performed interview with FluxFM, the band’s vocalist Brandon Boyd revealed a timeline for that effort and the one(s) that may precede it. He additionally confirmed that periods for it as soon as once more befell beneath GRAMMY Award-winning producer Brendan O’Brien (Rage In opposition to The Machine, Korn). Talking on these plans, Boyd said [transcribed by theprp.com]:
“We really completed the album, I suppose about, somewhat over two months in the past. And it’s like mastered, it’s blended, it’s simply able to go. We’re engaged on the art work for it. The unhappy half about ending the album this present day is that, as a lot as I want to simply put it out; I’d like to put it out tomorrow, and we might put it out tomorrow, however it might get simply misplaced within the shuffle of the web, you understand what I imply?
And even when… we’re gonna do like setup work for it and it’s in all probability gonna come out in October. So there can be a single that’ll come out earlier than October, in all probability within the subsequent few months, there’ll be a single. …Even with the entire setup that we’re gonna do, it most certainly will nonetheless get misplaced within the web [laughs]. As a result of it’s the web.
Simply now I had this picture of evaluating placing out an album onto the web this present day to introducing a brand new star within the sky. It’s like, ‘It’s a particular factor. It’s a brand new star within the evening sky.’ ‘The place is it?’ ‘It’s someplace up there.’ You understand, it’s, ‘Which one is it?’ ‘I don’t know, however isn’t it fairly?’ You understand, we like despatched one thing into the universe. So personally, I believe it’s a very nice document, and I’m actually happy with it, and all of us within the band are actually happy with it. We had a beautiful time recording it.
We did it with Brendan O’Brien, who produced ‘Mild Grenades‘. He produced ‘…A Crow Left Of The Homicide‘, amongst different information. You understand, I did my Sons Of The Sea document with him. He’s my favourite producer that I’ve ever labored with, and I’m so blissful that we bought to re-engage with him for this expertise.
It occurred actually quick, which is all the time a very good signal for us, When an album comes collectively, like rapidly, it implies that we now have gotten right into a stream state of types. That, and likewise it’s the primary album we recorded — first new album — we recorded with Nicole Row, who’s our new bass participant. And she or he simply, she knocked it out of the park. We’re all completely in love together with her, and she or he’s develop into a really quick asset to the band. We’re actually, actually blissful that she jumped on board. So, yeah, it’s, it’s loads of enjoyable.”
When requested if Row had artistic enter on the document, Boyd responded:
“Yeah, for positive. We wrote the document together with her. She has superb concepts. She’s an unbelievable staff participant. She’s incredible. You understand, we have been actually heartbroken to lose Ben Kenney, however he’s… I believe he’s happier with what he’s doing now, and that’s an important factor. As artists, we by no means need to really feel like have been trapped anyplace. And never that, you understand, I’m saying that he felt trapped. That’s extra a query for him.
However I do know that he simply put out solo document, I believe it got here out yesterday, and he appears very blissful, which I’m so, so thrilled for him about. However Nicole simply simply match proper in. and she or he’s a breath of recent air. So we wrote the document together with her, and recorded it together with her, and yeah, I’m excited for folks to listen to it.”
Kenney himself stepped down from the band after present process present process mind tumor surgical procedure again in 2023. Along with that surgical procedure leaving him completely deaf in a single ear and affected by partial facial paralysis, Kenney‘s father handed away throughout Ben‘s convalescence from that process.
Kenney later went on to explain his exit from the band as a much-needed “arduous reset” and has since stepped out as a solo musician. He launched his debut solo album “Highly effective Buttcheeks” on March 03rd by way of Ghetto Crush Industries.
