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', according to guitarist Slash himself. But here's the catch: it won't be released until January 2027!
In a recent interview with Brent Porche on 93.3 WMMR (https://www.youtube.com/@brentporche), Slash revealed that the album is ready, with mixing completed and the sequence finalized. He praised the record, stating, "It's a killer record... We're excited about it." However, due to the ongoing GUNS N' ROSES tour, fans will have to wait until early 2027 to hear the new music.
But that's not all. The album's vocalist, Myles Kennedy, also shared some insights in an interview with Anne Erickson of Audio Ink Radio (https://audioinkradio.com/2026/01/alter-bridge-myles-kennedy-interview/). Kennedy confirmed that all tracks were recorded, with his vocals completed in August 2025. He also hinted at the band's commitment to their signature sound, saying, "The fans expect a certain thing, and it's what we do."
And this is where it gets interesting: the band has been tight-lipped about the musical direction of the new album. Kennedy teased, "I don't think you're ever gonna get a record of synth pop... But we'll let people judge for themselves." This subtle hint suggests a potential surprise for fans, leaving room for speculation and excitement.
The album's release date has been a topic of discussion since October 2026, when Slash mentioned the 2027 release and a subsequent world tour on SiriusXM's "Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk." He emphasized the importance of finding the right window for a full-scale tour, which is now set for 2027.
As for the album's quality, Slash couldn't help but express his enthusiasm, saying, "It's really cool... All things considered, I don't like to hype a record up, but I'm excited about it." This statement, coming from a legendary guitarist, is sure to pique the interest of music enthusiasts.
The recording process for this album has been a journey. Slash's social media post in August 2025 confirmed the completion of recording sessions, promising a "super cool" album. Drummer Brent Fitz also shed light on the band's work ethic and the recording process in an interview with J.J. Caithcart of Different Stages Radio (https://differentstagesradio.com/).
The band's dynamic and collaborative approach to songwriting is evident. Kennedy and Slash have a unique creative partnership, with Kennedy focusing on lyrics and melodies and occasionally suggesting chord progression changes. This process, as Kennedy reveals, showcases Slash's exceptional understanding of music and his ability to create space for compelling melodies.
The album's journey began in November 2024 when the band entered the studio to record their fifth album. Since then, they've been on tour, with their latest album, "4," released in February 2022. The band has also been busy with other projects, including Slash's blues album, "Orgy Of The Damned," and his "S.E.R.P.E.N.T." festival in the summer of 2024.
So, what can fans expect from this highly anticipated release? Will it live up to the hype? And will the band's commitment to their signature sound pay off? Only time will tell. But one thing is certain: the wait is almost over, and the world of rock music is about to be rocked once again by SLASH FEATURING MYLES KENNEDY & THE CONSPIRATORS.
