Slash recently confirmed that the new Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators album is complete but will be delayed due to his commitments with Guns N’ Roses, as reported by Brent Porche.
The guitarist spoke about the status of the songwriting and recording sessions for the next album. He provided details about both its completion and release timeline.
“It’s done. We just finished mixing it. I finished the sequence yesterday. It’s a killer record, man. We’re excited about it, but it doesn’t come out till the Guns tour’s over,” Slash said.
He explained the scheduling conflict that’s causing the delay. He also outlined the band’s future plans.
“So it’ll get released in probably January of 2027, and then there’ll be a whole world tour that goes along with that. So I had to wait to release it because Guns is out from March through December of this year. So [we’re] putting it out in 2027. But it’s done,” he continued.
The album will be followed by a world tour once it’s released in early 2027.
This upcoming release marks a significant milestone for the collaboration between Slash and his bandmates. It represents years of creative development and musical evolution.
Chaos Zine reported that this will be their fifth album together, following Apocalyptic Love (2012), World on Fire (2014), Living the Dream (2018), and 4 (2022). The band has consistently delivered high-quality rock albums over the past decade. They have established themselves as a formidable force in modern rock music.
The recording process for this latest effort has been ongoing for several months. Blabbermouth noted that Slash first announced recording sessions wrapped in an August 2025 social media post, stating: “Recording for #SMKC record number 5 is done today. Album title [to be confirmed].”
Fans await the new Conspirators material, but Myles Kennedy has been keeping busy with other projects. 98 Rock Online revealed that Kennedy recently announced a new self-titled Alter Bridge album due out January 9, 2026. This gives fans something to anticipate while waiting for the Conspirators’ return.
The strategic timing of the album release demonstrates the careful balance required when managing multiple high-profile musical commitments. Guns N’ Roses maintains an extensive touring schedule throughout 2026. The delay ensures that both projects receive the attention and promotion they deserve without competing for the same audience simultaneously.
