Jacoby Shaddix shares an update about Papa Roach’s upcoming album

Papa Roach are continuing work on their twelfth studio album, but frontman Jacoby Shaddix says the band are deliberately taking their time with the follow-up to 2022’s “Ego Trip”. The vocalist has described the new record as still in progress rather than ready for an immediate release.

In a November 2026 interview with Pełna Kulturka, Shaddix explained that the musicians had revisited their material and decided to keep developing the songs.

The band want to get the songs right

This is what Shaddix said about the status of the album:

I think it’s about halfway done. We went through and we wrote a bunch of music, and then we went back and listened to it, and I’m, like, these are great songs, but I just feel like we can dig deeper and find something even more… I don’t know. We just want something more out of it.

I think that we’re in a good place, and creatively we’re in a stride, but I just feel like it’s important for us, at this point in time in our career, to dig as deep as we possibly can and make this album just another…

I feel like ‘Ego Trip’ really set a standard, and I wanna meet that standard or exceed it, and so we’re taking our time with this one, I’ll be honest. We will be releasing new music next year, though. January, we got a new song we’re gonna drop, and it’s a fucking banger. This one is… It might be maybe one of our heaviest songs in a minute. This one is another level.
