Get ready for a musical journey with SLASH FEATURING MYLES KENNEDY & THE CONSPIRATORS as they gear up to release their highly anticipated fifth album! In an exclusive interview, Todd Kerns, the band's bassist and backing vocalist, gives us a sneak peek into the making of this new record.
Kerns reveals that the band has just listened to the final mixes and sequenced the album, but he's keeping the title under wraps for now. He hints at a return to their signature sound, saying, "It's of the flavor that you know, the familiarity of it, but with a twist."
But here's where it gets controversial... Kerns teases that the new album will showcase a fiercer side of the band, something their fans might not expect. Singer Myles Kennedy, who also fronts ALTER BRIDGE, is said to be taking off the gloves on this one, delivering some powerful vocals.
When asked about the recording process, Kerns explains that the band always plays together, capturing the energy of live performances. He adds, "We're constantly rearranging and refining as we go, keeping things fresh."
The upcoming album was recorded at Elvis's Studio Barbarosa in Florida, and Kerns promises that it's packed with "some really killer songs."
And this is the part most people miss... The band has been playing together for almost two decades, with Kerns, Kennedy, Slash, and drummer Brent Fitz collaborating off and on since 2007. It's a testament to their enduring chemistry and musical partnership.
So, when can we expect to hear this new music? The album is set to release in January 2027, following the conclusion of GUNS' tour. Slash himself confirms that the record is "badass" and that he's excited for fans to hear it.
Myles Kennedy also shares his insights, revealing that all the tracks are recorded and that the writing process was a collaborative effort with Slash. He describes the musical direction as "riff-based rock 'n' roll with a heavy dose of blues."
Now, here's a thought-provoking question for you: Do you think SLASH FEATURING MYLES KENNEDY & THE CONSPIRATORS should experiment with different genres, or should they stick to what their fans know and love? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
For more updates on the band and their upcoming tour, stay tuned. We can't wait to see what this talented group has in store for us in 2027!
