Mike Muir recently provided updates on upcoming releases from both Suicidal Tendencies and his solo project Cyco Miko. He shared details about new music in development during an appearance on the Hear 2 Zen podcast.
When asked if the arrival of “Adrenaline Addict” signals the beginning of a series of new singles from Suicidal Tendencies, Muir explained the complex journey behind the song. He also outlined his plans for future releases.
“It’s kind of long and convoluted, [like] everything with Suicidal is,” Muir said. “This song originally is doing this thing with Josh Paul, who was our old bass player, and with Nisha. And so lyrically it’s actually very Suicidal, and we played it for some people they thought it was Suicidal.”
He continued explaining how the song evolved and found its place in his upcoming projects.
“And then I did it and tried to sing like on Nisha’s part and it just did not sound right and it did not have the same lyrical kind of meaning and stuff too,” he said. “And so we were able to put that out for the [Suicidal Tendencies] tour, and it’s gonna be on a Cyco Miko record.”
Muir then detailed his ambitious plans for the Cyco Miko album. The album will feature collaborations across multiple projects.
“The Cyco Miko record’s gonna have some new Suicidal, new Infectious Grooves, different projects and different things that I’ve done, all these different songs in different ways for a song, like I’m singing in Spanish, and also with Robert Trujillo of Metallica helping me sing on that and putting me to shame,” he explained. “But all kinds of different things.”
The frontman used a colorful metaphor to describe the creative process. He also provided a timeline for the releases.
“And it’s kind of a rollercoaster that probably should have been condemned, but it’s a hell of a lot of fun to ride, if you’re not scared of falling off,” Muir said. “And so it’s fun. So that’ll be out the beginning of next year. And then Suicidal, the actual Suicidal record will be out after that. And there’ll be a couple of Suicidal tracks on the Cyco Miko.”
The Cyco Miko album is expected at the beginning of 2026. A new Suicidal Tendencies record will follow.
These upcoming releases represent another chapter in Muir’s extensive musical career. His career spans over four decades of influential work in the hardcore and metal scenes.
Encyclopedia.com reported that Suicidal Tendencies was formed in 1981. The band has been influential in the hardcore and skate/metal punk scenes, noted for blending hardcore with more conventional rock elements over time. The band’s evolution from their raw punk origins to incorporating metal and funk elements has kept them relevant across multiple generations of fans.
The collaboration with Robert Trujillo mentioned by Muir highlights the interconnected nature of his musical projects. Masquerade Atlanta noted that Trujillo has been a long-time collaborator with Muir, including in side projects like Infectious Grooves, before joining Metallica. This relationship demonstrates the tight-knit nature of Muir’s musical ventures and his ability to maintain creative partnerships across decades.
Muir’s approach to creating music across multiple projects reflects his restless creative energy. Louder Sound documented that his work has consistently pushed boundaries within the hardcore and metal genres. He often incorporates unexpected elements and collaborations that keep his output fresh and unpredictable.
The upcoming Cyco Miko album’s diverse content, including Spanish-language tracks and cross-genre collaborations, continues this tradition of musical experimentation. With both the Cyco Miko release and the subsequent Suicidal Tendencies album, fans can expect Muir to continue his legacy of creating music that defies easy categorization. He maintains the intensity and authenticity that has defined his career.
