During an interview with Cassius Morris, Drowning Pool guitarist C.J. Pierce discussed the band’s new material. According to him, the group have “plenty enough songs right now to do a whole record.”

Pierce said the following:

“Everything’s still a fluid kind of schedule. There’s plenty enough songs right now to do a whole record, of course, and just kind of honing in on the stuff that’s already been done and stuff that has been done and finished and recorded already. For me, there’s a few songs I’ve just gotta get down some guitar solos [on]. I like to take my time with that and write for the song instead of, like, ‘Here comes the solo’ and just this ‘look at me, look at me’. Everything needs to fit and flow with it. Sometimes it happens instantly.

That’s the thing with us, with DROWNING POOL as well, we’re not this machine where you’re just putting out songs and records. This is my life. This is what I feel. This is my art. So before we put it out and it’s finished, all four of us, we have to like every part of every song because you’re gonna be playing it for the rest of your life. So, we don’t just throw stuff out there. And some things come fast, some things take a little bit longer. But we have plenty of material.”

He also added:

“June 5th will be the 25-year anniversary of [DROWNING POOL’s debut] ‘Sinner’ record and ‘Bodies’, so we’re gonna be doing the record in its entirety on tours coming up. And then towards the end of the year, before the end of the year, we would like to put out the new record. We’re gonna have singles and releases in between still up until that happens. And then next year, it’ll be a full run, another tour, with some of the new stuff included, of course, playing the ‘Sinner’ record.”
