Singer Myles Kennedy was recently interviewed by Heavy Consequence and talked about how the songwriting and recording sessions are coming along for the new Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators album. “As far as the progress goes, I think a lot of it is well on its way. I have to get my vocals recorded. Just have to find a window of time to do that in between the touring and whatnot. I have my vocals written and melodies and lyrics and all that stuff. I just need to get in to the studio and knock it out.”
Myles added, “As for the direction of the record, it’s still riff-based rock ‘n’ roll with a heavy dose of the blues element that Slash brings, like only he does. It’s some really great stuff. I think it’s going to be another fun one to tour live.”
You may recall that Myles was on SiriusXM’s “Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk” last month and said they were demoing songs and that the writing for the album “was done before I even embarked on this last [solo] tour. The easy part is the recording; the hard part is the writing. Slash and I were — he was sending me demos of the tunes. Then I was spending time with him, coming up with melodies and lyrics. And so that’s all done — I think with the exception of one song. Now I just have to find a moment to get in the studio and all that, knock that out. But I will say that just even in the demo process and where we stood there before they went in to actually make the record musically, it is really exciting stuff. I’m really, really stoked about where this one’s going. It’s gonna be cool.”
Slash & the boys went into a recording studio in November to work on their 5th album together. With luck, you’ll hear that this year. Their latest album, “4”, came out in February 2022.
So we’re due for a new album.
And yes, I know that Slash released a blues album called “Orgy Of The Damned” in May 2024.
Slash Featuring MKC has GOT TO BE one of the best rock bands of the last 20 years. They stack up to anyone in recent memory. Is their stuff as good as the parts – meaning, G’n’R, Alter Bridge, The Age Of Electric, Mammoth WVH? Again, one of the best rock bands since 2000.
