It's been thirteen years since New Jersey thrash legends Whiplash released their last album to date Unborn Again, but this year or next year just might change that. Vocalist and guitarist Tony Portaro confirmed in a recent interview with Mark Kadzielawa of 69 Faces Of Rock that the long-awaited new album from Whiplash, titled Old School American Way, is almost finished and will include ten tracks. The record will reportedly be released on Metal Blade Records, with whom the band signed back in 2018.

Portaro said: "We have an album nearly finished, but it's been nearly finished for a long time, so I'm not sure if we're gonna get over this roadblock that we've hit at this point."

As for a possible release date, he said: "You know, I've been trying to get that out for a long time, but the album is gonna be called Old School American Way, and five songs are finished, and we have five more that are nearly finished. They have to be edited, and then all ten songs have to be mixed and mastered. And it'll be done, we don't have any artwork yet, but yeah, at this rate it's looking like it's gonna be a while."
