Suicidal Tendencies May Be Recording Another New Album Soon

0

All I wanted was an album. Just one new album. It’s been eight years now since Suicidal Tendencies put out their most recent album of new material, World Gone Mad. If Suicidal Tendencies thought the world had gone mad in 2016, boy were they in for a shock in the years to come. Back in 2017, Suicidal Tendencies frontman and founding member Mike Muir hinted that the album might be the band’s final record. Now it would seem that was just talk, as Muir is now talking about putting another new studio album.

At a press conference Muir held at the recent Hellfest in Clisson, France, the frontman was asked about plans for new music, and Muir said that the band might be putting out a new record. Here’s what he had to say, as transcribed by Blabbermouth:

“When we did the last record [of all-new material], it was ‘World Gone Mad’ in 2016, I kind of said, it sounds bad, but I don’t enjoy making records, because it’s like full-on mental fuck to me and, then it’s the time and the family and everything. It’s difficult. But now having [guitarist] Ben [Weinman] in the band, [drummer] Jay [Weinberg] in the band…. One of the first things Jay did after we did a couple shows, he’s just, like, going, ‘Dude, I wanna fucking make a record.’ And the way he and Ben, they said it, they go, like… Ben was, like, ‘When I was 12 years old and I heard Suicidal, it spoke to me. And other music, I heard a lot of music.’ He goes, ‘I wanna do a record like that.’ And that’s exactly what Jay said. Obviously, having [bassist] Tye [Trujillo], Robert’s [Trujillo] a son in there, Robert’s, like, ‘Dude, you guys need to make a record. do that thing.’ And so I think that we’re definitely leaning towards doing it.”

It would be nice to see another album of new material from the band, but it’s disappointing to hear that Muir doesn’t enjoy making albums. Maybe the next album will be the one to end on.
