It was stated in an Interview by Jonathan that the band hopes to get in the studion with Ross in early May and have their ninth studio album finished by late November of 2009. Jonathan also stated that he was excited about this album "because its going to be a return to the old us, its going to be a classic heavy Nu Metal, as fans would call it, album. I've already got some song Ideas and a few album titles, but not a whole lot of progress yet,".
