Shinedown bassist Eric Bass is sharing some information on the band’s eighth studio album.
In a new interview, he was asked if the record is still on track for an early 2025 release.
He said, “I would say we’re 85 percent done writing, probably a third of the way done, completely done with the record, meaning that we have songs that are mixed and done and everything. We have a lot of work still left to do.”
He went on to say that there will be “no new Shinedown song” released by the end of the year, despite drummer Barry Kerch’s previous suggestions that fans would hear new music in 2024.
Bass added: “[And there will] probably no new [full-length] record by first quarter, but definitely next year. I would venture to say middle of next year. This is just me. I’m just a producer. I’ve got a pretty close view on it.”
