Drowning Pool elaborated on the tour in a general press statement released at the same time as the tour, stating:
"This tour promises to be an adrenaline-fueled journey, featuring Drowning Pool’s dynamic return with lead singer Ryan McCombs. Fans can also look forward to the release of brand new music, including their first new single with McCombs in 13 years. Keep an eye out in the next few weeks for this highly anticipated track!"
The band is also set to release a new album in the coming days. Band member Ryan McCombs elaborated on the reason why there was a delay in releasing new music in an exclusive interview with The Dark, a nightly rock music program held on the 94 Rocks KFML, here quoted via Blabbermouth's post on July 30, 2024:
"We've got so many different opportunities in front of us, touring-wise, and then also because of the new music, as far as how we wanna release it. We had a plan in place. We knew how we wanted to go about it. We wanna go strictly independent, but all of a sudden there's a hunger for it... We're not great on making decisions to begin with, but then all of a sudden now-"
McCombs continued:
"-there's a bunch of different opportunities ahead of us and we're just trying to figure out the best way to get the music out there to everybody. Not just this time, but moving forward, because we continue. C.J. is just like a fountain over here. They all are. I mean, it's coming natural to us. We're spitting stuff out."
He further stated:
'So we're not only thinking about this song, but also the material that is yet to come and the majority that we're currently working on and everything. So it's just how to best present it. So that's what the delay has been about..."
Drowning Pool's latest album, Strike a Nerve, was released on September 30, 2022. The album is the last album featuring vocalist Jason Moreno before his subsequent departure from the band in 2023. The album was received positively by critics upon release.
