During a recent interview with Jaimunji, Drowning Pool frontman Ryan McCombs discussed the band’s plans for new music. According to him, the group will “have an album or an EP ready for release in 2025.”

McCombs said the following:

“We released ‘Revolution (The Final Amen)’, we released that because it was the first song that came together in the studio. And when I say came together, I mean, finished.

The demand for the band has been so great, thankfully, that we’ve been so busy fulfilling live appearances and then tours and everything that we’ve gotten so little time to actually record. At one point, on the last U.S. run we did, we actually flew our producer out and he spent, like, four or five days on the road with us, just so we could try to make some forward progress with some of these songs that we’ve got, because we’ve had so little time outside of touring to actually… The little time that we’ve gotten, I wanna go home and sleep in my own bed for a day or two. So we’ve had such little time to actually get any recording done that we’ve got so much material.”

He continued:

“Alaina, C.J. [Pierce]’s wife, actually said to me shortly after us getting back together, she was, like, ‘Thank you so much.’ She goes, ‘You guys getting back together, it’s just, like,’ she goes, ‘I got my husband back.’ She goes, ‘As you know, C.J., so much of his existence is music,’ and she goes, ‘I don’t know the last time I saw him pick up his guitar.’ And this is a guy that always had a guitar in his hand doodling back in the day. And she goes, ‘Since you guys have gotten back together, he’s just walking around the house with his guitar on again. He’s up at three o’clock in the morning, writing music.’ She goes, ‘It’s like I’ve got my husband back again.’ And that’s the way we’ve all been. We’ve all just been on fire. And the material is a great reflection of that.”

He also added:

“We’ve got some shows coming up here in Texas in December, and I’m staying for several days afterwards to get some more recordings done. ‘Cause the plan is right now, we’re gonna release another single or two between now and through [our tour of] Australia [in February 2025] and before the GODSMACK dates that we have with P.O.D. in Europe and in London [in late March and early April 2025]. But then, so, yeah, the plan is to release a couple of more singles in between now and then, and then we’ll have a an album or an EP — depending on how much recording time we get — we’ll have an album or an EP ready for release in 2025.”
