Tenacious D is working on new album
Frontman Jack Black revealed that the duo are working on a follow-up album to their 2018 album, Post-Apocalypto.
In a recent interview with music podcast Audacy Check In, Black said:
"We got another record we're making, but we can't really talk about it because it's too powerful. We've been going on writer's retreats. Yeah, we went to Joshua Tree to kick out the jams and make the magic happen in the desert.”
He further added:
“We got a lot of good jams in the back pocket now. But we're gonna need a couple more retreats, we're gonna go up to Big Sur because that's a power spot. I think we're gonna go to all the power spots on the planet where the chakras are most enhanced … whatever it takes."
Tenacious D, which was formed in 1994, recently released their medley for the Who's Pinball Wizard, There's a Doctor, and Go to the Mirror! The medley is available on all streaming services and on a 7" vinyl, which can be accessed via the band's website.
The duo released an animatic hand-drawn web series in 2018 titled, Tenacious D in Post-Apocalypto, which featured six episodes uploaded exclusively to YouTube. Their album Post-Apocalypto was released on November 2, 2018 after the final episode of their series.
In 2014, they won a Grammy for singing the cover of Ronnie James Dio's The Last in Line in the category of "Best Heavy Metal Performance." The song was featured on the album titled Ronnie James Dio – This Is Your Life, which is a compilation of Ronnie James Dio's song covers from various artists. The album was released to raise funds for cancer.
In 2021, the band re-released their debut hit single Tribute as part of the band's Super Power Party Pack, marking the twentieth anniversary of the band's debut album.
