Get ready for a thrilling announcement from the world of rock music! The highly anticipated album from SLASH FEATURING MYLES KENNEDY & THE CONSPIRATORS is finally 'done' and will likely drop in January 2027. But here's the catch: the band has been keeping fans on the edge of their seats for quite some time now.
In a recent interview with Brent Porche on 93.3 WMMR, the iconic guitarist Slash revealed that the songwriting and recording process for the new album is complete. He proudly stated, 'It's done. We just finished mixing it... It's a killer record.' However, fans will have to wait a little longer as the release is scheduled for after the GUNS N' ROSES tour, which ends in December 2026. And this is the part most people miss—the band has been teasing this album for a while.
Myles Kennedy, the powerhouse vocalist, confirmed in an interview with Anne Erickson that all tracks were recorded back in August 2025. He hinted at a potential release soon, but the ALTER BRIDGE tour and album cycle took priority. Kennedy also assured fans that the new music would maintain the band's signature sound, stating, 'I don't think you're ever gonna get a record of synth pop.'
Slash himself, in an interview with SiriusXM's 'Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk,' emphasized the importance of a full-scale tour to accompany the album's release in 2027. He even mentioned that the album is 'badass' and that he's excited about it, but he doesn't want to overhype it.
The band's drummer, Brent Fitz, shed light on their creative process, praising Slash's work ethic. He described their recording sessions in Los Angeles and Florida, where they laid down the foundation for the album. Fitz also mentioned the band's playful approach to working titles, which often end up being hilariously unrelated to the final song.
The new album promises to be a riff-based rock 'n' roll masterpiece with a heavy blues influence, as Kennedy described it in an interview with Heavy Consequence. The songwriting process, according to Myles, was a collaborative effort with Slash, who sent him demos and worked on melodies and lyrics together.
This highly anticipated release marks the band's fifth studio album, following their successful '4' album in 2022. The band has been building excitement for the new record, with Slash even hinting at its completion on social media in August 2025. And now, with the album finished and a world tour on the horizon, fans can't wait to hear what's in store.
But here's where it gets controversial: Will the album live up to the hype? With the band's commitment to their signature sound, some fans might be hoping for a fresh twist. What do you think?
