After a successful collaboration with Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators, Slash is set to release a new album with them next year. Bassist Todd Kerns shared the news in an Instagram post. He wrote, “Lots of new music coming. New @officialalterbridge coming next month. A new @officialmyleskennedy solo album in 2021 plus SMKC4. New @toquerocks New @minefieldusa NEW MUSIC! That’s what it’s all about.”
He added, “I know 2020 has been beyond challenging but 2021 is going to awesome eventually. At least there will be a ton of new music. Once we get the live show thing sorted we’ll be cool. Hope you are having a restful and happy Sunday! Thinking of y’all.”
“SMKC4” is the upcoming Slash album which is the follow-up to 2018’s Living the Dream.
Last year, Slash shared about how the whole songwriting process works with the Conspirators. He said, “We write the whole time. I write the music ideas, and then I’ll bring it into a soundcheck situation. For me, the most important thing is the drums. So I’ll start working on an idea with Brent, as well as Todd, and even Frank — we’ll all stand there together and do it. And then just see if it catches, if it’s a cool idea with all the other instruments involved.”
Then, “That’s the thing about guitar players — you write bitchin’ guitar stuff all day long, but is it a song? So we start working it up. And then Myles will be there and he’ll catch it and maybe start recording something into his phone. And we’ll just sort of get the nucleus of an idea, and in some cases work on it for a few days until we have an arrangement. And then there’s some stuff that we didn’t ever get to play in soundcheck that I recorded on my phone in my room and I’ll bring that up later.”
