Whereas reflecting on their present songwriting and recording periods, Zakk revealed: “We have been recording a batch of stuff whereas we’re residence. I imply, clearly it is gonna be a whole lot of — we’re gonna be doing a Pantera celebration tour all through 2025, after which there’s going to be Zakk Sabbath exhibits peppered in there as properly. So I would think about someplace — I do not know — possibly late 2025, early ’26, or no matter, placing out one other Black Label album.
Wylde expressed how the prolonged timeline permits for a extra reflective artistic course of. “All it does to me, it simply provides you extra time to simply maintain writing and listening to stuff and going again and going, ‘No, you recognize what? Let me put extra orange on that versus pink,’ the place you’ll be able to really sit again and have a look at it and every little thing like that. ‘Trigger often, more often than not once I do the data, I am going to go in, whether or not it was Stillborn, Suicide Messiah, something like that, with nothing.”
For Wylde, recording periods are fertile floor for inspiration. As he describes: “I believe should you ask any musician, they’re going to let you know, once you’re in a recording studio, it is only a breeding floor for inspiration. As a result of every little thing sounds good… Whether or not you are sitting with an acoustic guitar, otherwise you’re sitting behind a piano, otherwise you acquired the massive distorted guitars going, the drums sound like cannons. So, every little thing simply sounds superb. And it simply could be very inspiring.”
