Background

At the end of 2019 and a very busy touring schedule that saw the band headlining their very first European tour, [13] [14] the group announced they would enter 2020 writing new music for their 8th studio album and two mini tours, "Back On The Road Tour 2020" and "March Madness Tour 2020" with Saving Abel [15] and Smile Empty Soul [16] to promote the upcoming new music. [17]

On March 16, 2020, the band announced their entire spring tour would be postponed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. [18] The economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic hindered the band from touring, canceling most tour dates for the entire year, however, in the last quarter of 2020, the band announced their "The Covid Control Tour", performing full audience shows in states like Louisiana, Texas, Florida, South Dakota, Iowa, Ohio, and Wisconsin [19] that had begun lifting COVID-19 lockdowns. [20] [21]

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. [22]

Release

On June 23, 2021, Tantric released the lead single from the new album "Living Here Without You". [23]

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." [24]

The same day, the albums track list was confirmed to feature 11 new songs and three bonus tracks which include a cover of the song "Whiskey and You" by country music artist Chris Stapleton [25] [26] and features a new re-recorded version of their 2001 hit song "Breakdown" which is also the bands biggest hit to date, [27] also features a new re-recorded version of their 2008 hit song "Down and Out." [28] [29]
