You’ve Been Warned: Papa Roach Will Be “Releasing Music Throughout the Year”
Genocide. Famine. The rise of fascism in America… So far this year’s been chock full o’ shit but it’s likely going to get worse before it gets better. After all, Papa Roach frontman Jacoby Shaddix revealed — no, he threatened — that the band would be releasing new music “throughout the year.” May God have mercy on all of us.
The news came out during a recent interview with Claro Música México (as transcribed by Blabbermouth). Initially it all started out peacefully, with Shaddix discussing the band’s most recent single “Even If It Kills Me”, and the process that went into it. Eventually it spiraled into reiterating that there would be a new Papa Roach album in 2026.
“[‘Even If It Kills Me’ is] the first piece of music that we’re releasing to eventually be on our next album. The album will be out in 2026. I just was in the studio before I came down here, and recorded two more songs. We’re gonna be releasing music throughout the year. And the stuff that we have coming that we haven’t released yet is just — it’s so good. I’m so happy.”
So rather than have all the new music come out closer to the album’s release, the world is going to be subjected to a constant deluge of Papa Roach until the album mercifully (or maybe maliciously) comes out.
Speaking of the supposed album some more, Shaddix explained that the song would be comprised of about a dozen or so songs. That monster.
“Usually that’s around where we sit, is around 10 or 11 songs in an album. I like an album to feel like you get in the car and you play that thing and it’s, like, by the time you get where you’re going, it’s, like, ‘We’re done.’ I don’t like to make records that are so long. I like an album that feels like it’s just quick and to the point. You know what I mean? We’re not that type of band that makes these 20-song albums or double LPs and shit like that. I’m, like, ‘Eh.’”
In the meantime, Shaddix said Papa Roach will be touring over the next few months before heading back into the studio to finish the forthcoming album.
Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
