On March 16, 2020, the band announced their entire spring tour would be postponed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

In late 2020 and early 2021, the band announced via social media posts that during the lockdown they were able to finish a significant amount of new material for their new record. Throughout a series of Facebook and Instagram stories on the band's official accounts in early 2021, it was revealed the group was working with long-time producer Chuck Alkazian to produce the new album.

On June 23, 2021, Tantric released the lead single from the new album "Living Here Without You". [21]
Along with the release of the lead single, the band gave an announcement that the new album is title "The Sum Of All Things" with the release date set for July 23, 2021. The album was released as planned on July 23, 2021 via Cleopatra Records." [22]
