In a new interview with Rock Sound, Chris Daughtry of DAUGHTRY has confirmed that he and his bandmates are working on the follow-up to their 2021 album 'Dearly Beloved'.

The news comes as fans eagerly await new music from the band since the release of their two-part project 'Shock To The System (Part 1)' and 'Shock To The System (Part 2)', which was released in conjunction with additional live recordings.

Asked by James Wilson-Taylor if he is thinking about another album, Chris replied, 'Oh, yeah.

We are in the writing process.

I can say this, 'cause I posted about it, but I'm working with Jordan Fish.

And we are a few songs deep right now.

And it's going amazing.

So we're getting back together later in the year to finish writing.' Regarding his collaboration with Fish, who has worked on projects such as Evanescence and Bring Me The Horizon, Chris stated: 'It's great because if you listen to the new Evanescence record ['Sanctuary'], you can hear some Jordan Fish-isms, but it's clearly an Evanescence record.

And I think it's great that he keeps that in mind with who he's working with.' When discussing the direction of their upcoming album, Chris added: 'There's some heat going on.'
