In an interview with "Life in Six Strings" with Kylie Olsson, Godsmack frontman Sully Erna hinted at the possibility of a new album from the band.
Responding to a question from the host if there will be another record from the band, Erna said, "I think there will. I said there wasn't going to be, and at least I know there won't be with the original members."
He added, "[Shannon and Tony] have [officially retired], and very honorably. And we're still really good friends. There's no drama there. I'm putting some new people in place. I'm still in some trial periods, but we have some plans coming in 2026 that we're excited about. And it's gonna be good. I mean, the band's coming into the height of our career. All these years later we're hitting another moment where we're doing our best attendance. And it's kind of come full circle."
Erna had told Heavy Consequence in 2023 while promoting Godsmack's eighth studio album Lighting Up the Sky that the record would be the group's final release.
"We've come to this realization that it's time because — and I say this as humbly as I can — we're coming up on almost 30 years of the band being together. We have 26 Top 10 singles and 12 number ones. I mean, God, this record we're feeling is probably the best work we've ever done," Erna said at the time.
"At what point do we start honoring the career and the music and putting together our greatest hits show? Who wants to go see Aerosmith and not hear 'Dream On' and 'Same Old Song and Dance,' and all the greatest songs that have been the soundtrack to our lives?" he added.
