Get ready for a musical journey with SLASH FEATURING MYLES KENNEDY & THE CONSPIRATORS, as they gear up to release their highly anticipated fifth album! But here's where it gets controversial... the band has a few surprises up their sleeves, and it might just be their fiercest record yet.
In a recent interview, Todd Kerns, the bassist and backing vocalist, shared some exciting insights into the making of this new LP. He revealed that the band has been hard at work, collaborating once again with their trusted producer, Michael "Elvis" Baskette. Todd emphasized the importance of experimentation, stating that every artist should try new things, but ultimately, returning to their roots brings a unique magic.
"Every time Slash plays me a new riff, I know it's going to become iconic. His riffs are just that good!" Todd exclaimed, highlighting the band's iconic sound.
The recording process, according to Todd, involves a lot of collaboration and refinement. "We play together, capture the drum performance, and then it's all about rearranging and refining as we go. It's a constant state of evolution," he explained.
When asked about the new album's direction compared to their previous work, Todd hinted at a bolder sound. "There are moments where we get a little more fierce than people might expect. Myles Kennedy really lets loose on this one, and it's awesome!" he said, referring to the band's lead singer.
Kerns also revealed that the upcoming album, recorded at Elvis's Studio Barbarosa in Florida, features "some really killer songs." He shared an interesting fact, noting that by the time the album releases in 2027, the band members will have been playing together for an impressive 17 years!
Slash himself confirmed that the album is complete and ready for release. He described it as a "killer record" and expressed his excitement for the upcoming world tour in support of the new music.
Myles Kennedy, the frontman of both SLASH FEATURING MYLES KENNEDY & THE CONSPIRATORS and ALTER BRIDGE, shared his thoughts on the musical direction, stating, "It's consistent with our sound, but we don't want to veer too far from what our fans expect. They'll have to judge for themselves when it's out."
And this is the part most people miss... the new album will showcase the band's signature sound while pushing the boundaries a little further. It's a delicate balance, but one that SLASH FEATURING MYLES KENNEDY & THE CONSPIRATORS seems to have mastered.
So, what do you think? Are you excited for this new chapter in the band's journey? Will they deliver on their promise of a fierce and iconic record? Let's discuss in the comments and share our thoughts on this highly anticipated release!
