Metal Anarchy

During a recent interview with Loud & Unfiltered, Drowning Pool singer Ryan McCombs discussed the band’s plans for new music. According to him, the group have “so much material right now.”

McCombs said the following when asked if the title of the band’s latest single, “Revolution (The Final Amen),” is a reference to the end:

“I wish I would have had the foresight to see what that would have read, how people would have read into that, because you’re not the first [to ask that] and I’m sure you won’t be the last. No, it’s far from the band’s final amen, ’cause we’ve got so much material right now. As soon as we got back in… I flew into Dallas two or three days before our first show [back] together, and we went straight from the airport to the rehearsal room. And it was, like, there was a little bit more white hair in the room, but other than that … we didn’t miss a beat, man. It was just instantaneous. C.J. [Pierce, guitar] and I and Stevie [Benton, bass] and Mike [Luce, drums], we just started writing music, and it just start flowing. It was like opening up the floodgates. So we’ve got so much material. The problem we have right now is we don’t have the time. We keep trying to schedule studio time and then something else show-wise comes up. So our producer, actually, flew out and was on the road with us for a few days on this tour that we’re on now so that we can get some stuff down and have the pre-production out of the way so that as soon as the tour’s over, I can run to [Las] Vegas and throw some vocals down before we have a show in Mexico City. So in between there, I’ll run to Vegas real quick and throw vocals. We’re just trying to utilize time, but we just don’t [have] enough.”

But no, to your question, it’s definitely not the band’s final amen. I mean, we’ve got too much stuff in the works. We’ve got too many awesome opportunities that are being presented to us for next year. And we’ve got a lot of plans band-wise for the next couple of years. So we’re definitely not going anywhere. And thankfully, we’re not going anywhere because the number one reason we ain’t is because people allow us to be around. We’ll stay around as long as people are allowing us to. And then thankfully people are giving us the time of day and allowing us to do what we love to do. So we’re definitely not going anywhere.”
