Future Knife Party:[]
Knife Party are preparing a new EP release for 2019. The first track from this EP was premiered on their "Knifecast" radio show, an ID currently titled "Lost Lands", which is a satirical take on Excision's festival of the same name and the modern dubstep industry. The intro that the group have been using for live shows "You're No Saint" is also being reworked into a full track for the EP release. "Nothing For Free" is speculated to be released on this EP, although it is unclear wether or not the "Lost Lands" ID will replace this track.
In November 2018, on Episode 8 of their podcast, they previewed a new song titled "Ghost Town", a 90's sounding progressive trance track.
In their final Knifecast of 2018 on 18 December they revealed that their fifth EP was close to completion and would be released "within the next 3 months". They also mentioned that Pendulum would become their main focus after its release but that Knife Party would return once they got bored of it again. It is speculated that their as-of-yet untitled fifth EP is set to include the tracks: You're No Saint, ID (Chickenstep), Lost Souls and Ghost Town, however speculation that the NYE Jungle Terror ID may also appear on the EP still remains.
The EP may be the last Knife Party release in a while, as Rob and Gareth both want to work with Pendulum as a focus, however, might come back to the Knife Party project if they get bored with Pendulum again.
The final EP, now titled Lost Souls (releasing sometime in July 2019), will feature completed versions of You're No Saint, Lost Souls (previously titled "Lost Lands"), Ghost Train and Death & Desire, which was previously under the name Ghost Town, and will feature vocalist Harrison instead of Rob.
