It could not really feel prefer it, but it surely’s already been 4 years since Software launched Concern Inoculum. Possibly that’s simply what getting older is like because the years kinda soften into one another, however that’s neither right here nor there. The purpose is it’s been a minute since Software put out new music.

Now, I do know what you’re going to say — we waited endlessly and a day between 10,000 Days and Concern Inoculum, so ready for brand spanking new Software music is nothing new. Truthful. However apparently, we might not find yourself having to attend an excessive amount of longer, as bassist Justin Chancellor revealed in an interview with The Vinyl Information podcast that the band’s acquired some concepts cooking for his or her followup and so they may hit the studio in 2024.

“We’ve acquired many concepts cooking. We haven’t recorded something but. However we’re fairly busy till — I assume till after the spring of subsequent yr touring. So as soon as that’s achieved, we’re gonna get again within the studio and knuckle down and put a few of it collectively. We’ve already had just a few fairly first rate classes of writing. So we’ve acquired the elements in place. We’ve simply gotta actually bang it out and spend that point once we’re not touring.”

Software’s been busy as of late, touring in every single place. Hell, simply this previous weekend they headlined Aftershock after which went on to assist Metallica shut out the Energy Journey pageant. With but extra reveals deliberate within the coming months, they’re going to be busy nonetheless.

Chancellor was additionally requested about whether or not Software had any b-sides from the Concern Inoculum classes or any beforehand unreleased tracks that might probably make their method to a brand new album. As you’d anticipate from an insanely inventive band like Software, they’ve undoubtedly acquired some music within the vault someplace.

“Yeah, tons from the final album. We have now tons of concepts, however not recorded to the usual we’d placed on an album. Simply form of, I’d say, a number of demoed stuff. After which simply tons of concepts simply form of saved away.”

So yeah, we would not have to attend an excessive amount of longer for brand spanking new Software music. Within the meantime, there’s loads of possibilities to catch them reside, as evidenced by the tour dates listed beneath.
